I plead guilty, but I probably understand money and power better than you do.

Hillary's going to take boatloads of money from Wall Street and then fight for the people on main street?

You are in serious denial if you buy that horseshit.

You guys need to look beneath the twitter network and the cable pundits.

All I need to look at is who is signing the checks.

Another important thing to remember about American history in that with the possible exception of the Civil Rights movement (and that is a big exception) reform comes when the middle class is threatened. The New Deal was a response to the middle class being poor. Not a response to the "original poor" (for lack of a better word) that existed before the Depression. I do not think we are at that point right now where the majority of Americans feel so threatened by banks that we are going to change them like Bernie wants...same goes for health care.

Everyone talks about Hilary and Wall Street .....

But what about Trump?

Sure, he says he is paying for his campaign all by himself....but, after years of being a hot shot business man and rubbing elbows with those Wall Street guys.... Do you really think they don't owe him a few favors?

Favors might not be monetary, but I guarantee you there is influence there.

When it comes to Wall Street , Trump is just as guilty as any other candidate. He just does it differently.

I think you are a bit divorced from reality.

You have that nice government check and Tri-Care keeping the wolf away from the door.
