Joe Biden’s Campaign Is Awash in Wall Street Cash

Joe Biden has adopted the anti-Wall Street rhetoric of some of his former rivals for the Democrat nomination, but that has not stopped him from collecting an enormous war chest of campaign cash from the financial sector.

Biden on Tuesday said that America “wasn’t built by Wall Street bankers and CEOs, it was built by the great American middle class.”

Securities industry employees, a close proxy for Wall Street, have donated $29,703,244 to Biden’s campaign or to political committees supporting his campaign for the presidency, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Donald Trump, by contrast, has only received around $6,320,861.

“Why? He will destroy Wall Street.”

you’re kidding right? just like obama destroyed wall street, right? ... the wall streeters know that those behind biden and the Demcocrats in general are globalists and that all the anti-wall-street rhetoric by Democrats is nothing more than empty demography for public consumption by the peasants ...

Biden and the dems are bought off for the equivalent of a 2 piece dark meat and a biscuit.

If he says he is going to double my capital gains taxes, and triple those of the very wealthy, I take him at his word.
