Tu quoque

Most people just don't care that much about race anymore. My kids barely notice someone's complexion. They go to school with hispanic, white, indian, oriental and black kids and nobody gives a who. 
There is a ways to go, of course, and yes, Black racism is alive and well, but so is class envy.  the idea that somehow we are still living in a "Guess who's coming to dinner" era, let alone a Gone with the Wind era, is plainly wrong. 
Change takes place slowly, and we all want to see change quickly as our lives are not that long, but a lot has changed since the 1960s. To see that gay marriage is legal now in many places in the US, and that euthansia is on the books in several jurisdictions, is nothing short of flabbergasting. And so are the changes in race relationships.

Class envy is a bigger problem.  Financial success is not a bad thing.

Class envy is a far greater evil than racism in the upcoming election

What's funny is that the winner of presidential election  is or will be the politician with the biggest  purse, of all the candidates Trump is spending the least

money, money, money talks

 

Recent indications from deep-pocketed institutional investors as well as those who frequent prediction markets say Hillary Clintonwill win. And it's not close. 

More than 70 percent of respondents to a recent Citigroup poll of institutional clients viewed the former secretary of state, first lady and New York senator as the likely 45th president.

You cut and pasted those lines. I found the original source. That is plagiarism.

The sentences you plagiarized are copyrighted. Presumably by CNBC and Jeff Cox, which is the person you plagiarized.

Call the FBI

In the polling places and on the airwaves, there remains a high level of uncertainty about who will be the next president.

It's not really so much about copyright issues so much as it is the taking of credit for work that you didn't do. Had you provided a link or some other sort of citation, this wouldn't be plagiarism. The use of statistics researched by others or the ideas of others, even their exact words if reasonably limited, is fine so long as the source is credited.

I work as a writing tutor so I deal with this matter all the time. This is plagiarism. If you add a source, though, it won't be.

Okay

I can think about 33 things right off the bat that I would rather do.

This is the internet. People plagiarize. I really don't care enough to police it. It's probably obvious when the person is plagiarizing anyway #justkeepingitreal

It is pretty obvious because, let us be candid here, little2add is a terrible writer. Any time his sentences are somewhat coherent, he probably stole it from someone else.
