When it comes to questioning a presidential candidate's level of corruption and cronyism, voters often focus on Wall Street. Until the last decade or so, the candidate whom the financial industry financially supported has been a turn-off to many middle and working class voters.

Americans, however, should focus their attention on a far more consequential industry supporting Camp Clinton: Silicon Valley.

While we hate to stereotype, I can say with a fair level of certainty that there are few demographics more self-important, more smug, more detached from reality, and sadly, who wield more power than Silicon Valley's elite class. After all, they control our information. They have access to our most personal data. And they all, almost without exception, support Hillary Clinton for president.

Research compiled by the group Crowdpac, which tracks political donations, reveals that 95 percent of all tech companies, regardless of location, have given their money to Hillary Clinton.  

FiveThirtyEight reports that Clinton garnered $7.7 million in tech industry donations while Donald Trump reaped a paltry $299,000. A more stark statistic is that 99 percent of Silicon Valley gave to the Clinton camp, specifically, through individual donations. 

"Until just a few years ago, the perspective in Silicon Valley was to have nothing to do with Washington,” tech entrepreneur Ben Casnocha told FTE. "It’s only in the last few years that tech companies have really established a significant lobbying presence in Washington."

There are a few outliers, of course -- Peter Thiel being the most prominent example -- but the power and influence lorded over us by the other 99 percent (get the irony?) of Silicon Valley is far from inconsequential. 

In fact, worse than hefty financial sums donated to Clinton is the revelation, laid bare by Wikileaks, that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg may have compromised our personal data in return for a Secretary of Treasury appointment if Clinton is elected president. 

In a leaked email Sandberg told Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta that she wants Clinton "to win badly" and vowed to help facilitate that any way she could. To that end, we have proof of at least one instance in which Sandberg shared "research" data with the Clinton campaign. 

We do not yet know what exactly the data contained, but given Sandberg's role at Facebook and the clear conflict of interest at play, it is more than understandable if Facebook users question whether their privacy was breached in order to serve the interests of Silicon Valley's ruling class -- many of whom believe they are doing God's work. 

Where would we Philistines be without Stanford and Berkeley grads telling us what's good for us, right?
