It is time for a deep breath. It is time to throw up! It is time when you question, do we live in a Democratic free society or we are slaves of the rich and elite!

Well the answer can be found in the list of worldwide billionaires who gave Bill Clinton millions to gain access to deep inside politics of American power, money, and influence.

Mr. Chagoury is one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation; having given between $1 million and $5 million, according to the list of over 200,000 contributors released Thursday by the former president's charitable organization. The release of the names came as part of an effort by Mr. Clinton to satisfy the incoming Obama administration that his extensive array of foreign donors wouldn''t present problems for Mrs. Clinton as the nation's top diplomat.

Mr. Chagoury has long been a financial supporter of Mr. Clinton. He donated funds to support then-President Clinton's 1996 re-election effort, and later helped the former president land a lucrative speaking fee. Members of the Chagoury family donated thousands of dollars to Mrs. Clinton's recent unsuccessful run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Mr. Chagoury is also a figure with a controversial past. In the mid-1990s, he was known for a close association with Nigeria's military dictator, Sani Abacha, which helped him land lucrative business contracts in construction and other areas.
