The firm's institutional investors include college endowments and foundations.[2] Since 1986, Steyer has been a partner and member of the Executive Committee at Hellman & Friedman, a San Francisco-based $8 billion private equity firm. In 2010, Steyer and his wife signed The Giving Pledge to donate half of their fortune to charity during their lifetime. In 2012, he sold his stake in and retired from Farallon Capital. Switching his focus to politics and the environment, he launched NextGen America, a non-profit organization that supports progressive positions on climate change, immigration, health care, and education. [4][5]

In October 2017, NextGen America donated grants totaling $2.3-million to eight national immigration law service organizations, including the University of California Immigrant Legal Services Center, the Immigration Law Clinic at UC Davis School of Law, UC Hastings Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, Asian Americans Advancing Justice — Asian Law Caucus, California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, Center for Community Change, American Immigration Lawyers Association. and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.[6] Steyer served on the Board of Trustees at Stanford University[7] from 2012 to 2017.

An early supporter of Hillary Clinton in 2008, Steyer became one of Barack Obama's most prolific fundraisers. Steyer served as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 2004 and 2008.[35] Steyer has been a member of the Hamilton Project[36] and has been involved with the Democracy Alliance a network of progressive donors whose membership in the group requires them to donate at least $200,000 a year to recommended organizations.[37][38]

After the Obama victory in 2008, Steyer was considered for appointment as Secretary of Treasury. Jim Steyer, Tom's brother, told Men's Journal that Obama and his advisors would regret having chosen someone else, due to his expertise.[8] In January 2013, rumors briefly arose that Steyer might be named as a replacement for Energy Secretary Steven Chu.[39] Asked whether he would accept such an appointment, Steyer said he would.[40]

Steyer has been compared with and contrasted with the Koch brothers, billionaire businessmen who engage in extensive political activity, and has been viewed as a Koch adversary.[41][42][43]

[iamwhatiseem]

Pretty much all of the super wealthy made fortunes off of our misery in 2009.
Obama made damn sure of that by his administration paying 100 cents on the dollar to them for their "losses" and provided as high as $40 Billion per MONTH in free loans using our tax dollars as a guarantee.
Obama is the greatest trickle down economics President in history.
Even after 3-4 years of RECORD investment profits - he still provided bail outs and free loans.

If this guy is against tax cuts....then the only thing you can draw from that is that they're good for the economy, because this guy is a hedgefunder that bets on growth and declining economies. He's one of the ultra-rich that can afford to make money off of a downturn in a specific economies.This guy would go broke if this legalized form of gambling was outlawed.

Career
After graduating from Yale, Steyer began his professional career at Morgan Stanley in 1979.[2][8] After two years at Morgan Stanley, he attended Stanford Business School.[8] Steyer worked at Goldman Sachs from 1983–85 as an associate in the risk arbitrage division, where he was involved in mergers and acquisitions.[8] He later became a partner and member of the Executive Committee at Hellman & Friedman, a San Francisco-based private equity firm.

In January 1986, Steyer founded Farallon Capital, an investment firm headquartered in San Francisco, California.[13][14] Steyer made his fortune running Farallon, which was managing $20 billion by the time he left the company.[15] Steyer was known for taking high risks on distressed assets within volatile markets.[8]

In October 2012, Steyer stepped down from his position at Farallon in order to focus on advocating for alternative energy.[16][17] Steyer decided to dispose of his carbon-polluting investments in 2012, although critics say he did not dispose of them fast enough, and noted that the lifespan of the facilities he funded would extend through 2030.[18] A 2015 New York Times article said coal-mining companies which Farallon invested in or lent money to under Steyer had increased their coal production by 70 million tons annually since receiving money from Farallon, and that Steyer was still invested in the *Maules Creek coal mine.[18] Prior to Steyer leaving Farallon, a student activist group called UnFarallon criticized the company for investments in companies with anti-environmental policies.[8] In 2016, some critics noted that Farallon had also invested in private prisons while Steyer was leading the hedge fund.[19] According to SEC filings, Steyer was at the helm as the hedge fund purchased nearly $90 million of Corrections Corporation of America stock (5.5% of the company's outstanding shares).[20] After leaving Farallon, Steyer hosted a two-day think-tank titled the 'Big Think Climate Meeting' to discuss how to address climate change.[21]

Philanthropy
In 2006, Steyer and his wife, Kat Taylor, founded OneRoof, a business designed to bring technology to rural India.[22]

In 2007, Steyer and Taylor founded Beneficial State Bank, a community development bank, for the purpose of providing commercial banking services to underserved Bay Area businesses, nonprofits and individuals.[23][24]

Steyer and Taylor put up $22.5 million to start the bank and create the One PacificCoast Foundation to engage in charitable and educational activities, provide lending support, investments and other services for disadvantaged communities and community service organizations in California.[17][25]

In August 2010, Steyer and his wife signed onto The Giving Pledge, an initiative of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. The pledge urges individuals and families to give at least half their wealth to charitable causes during their lifetime.[26][27]

Steyer and Taylor created the TomKat Ranch in Pescadero, California, near Half Moon Bay.[28] The ranch is meant to research and demonstrate a sustainable way of doing agriculture.[29] The ranch's activities include underwriting healthy food programs and co-producing an independent film, La Mission, starring Benjamin Bratt, about San Francisco's Mission neighborhood.[30] Around 2011, Steyer joined the board of Next Generation, a non-profit intending to tackle children's issues and the environment. In 2013, Steyer founded NextGen Climate, an environmental advocacy nonprofit and political action committee.[8]

In August 2015, Steyer launched the Fair Shake Commission on Income Inequality and Middle Class Opportunity, which was intended to advocate policies for promoting income equality.[31]

*Maules Creek coal mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maules Creek coal mine is a large open-cut black coal mine owned and operated by Whitehaven coal, located in the Gunnedah Basin,[1] near Boggabri in New South Wales, Australia. It has planning approval to extract up to 13 million tonnes of coal each year until 2034.[2] The mine has been mired by political corruption[3] and years of community legal action and direct action against the destruction of the Leard State Forest - in which the mine is situated - farmland, destruction of Gamilaray cultural sites and health impacts on surrounding communities.[4]

The only thing keeping Hillary and Obama out of jail is the media that protects them.

Today I have invested in HEMP. At the time it is only .016 cents per share. If and that is a big if it does the billion dollars or more of income each year, I could see profits in the hundreds of millions. I want enough capital to take on shits like Steyer for every time they bet against the United States, I can be there taking up the challenge to buy up what he tries to sell, keeping the country from crashing.. Bankrupt the likes of George Soros and Steyer, and soon the DNC mega donors will dry up...

 

[iamwhatiseem]

You should do a write up of Larry Summers too..."Mr. Derivities" himself. Perhaps the single most corrupt individual in American history and TWO TIME top economic advisor to Obama and Bill Clinton.
I don't think there is any thing more I could point to that shows just how much of a corporatist/elitist Obama was than his use of Larry Summers. He is THE Billionaire maker.

Obama was never responsible for anything his administration did. He merely commented on it and said he just heard about it on television.

I don't know....the fact this man does not sit in a jail cell is evidence enough that we are no longer a Democratic Republic.
True that.
