New York Times: Wall Street Backs Joe Biden
Breitbart ^ | 08/09/2020 | Neil Munro

Posted on 08/10/2020 9:03:49 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Wall Street’s many campaign donors are lining up behind Joe Biden, not the incumbent President of the United States, according to the New York Times.

Under the August 9 headline, “The Wallets of Wall Street Are With Joe Biden, if Not the Hearts,” three reporters wrote:

While Wall Street financiers tend to be more socially liberal, they have collectively swung back and forth between parties. Data from the Center for Responsive Politics show the securities and investment community donating more to President George W. Bush in 2004, and then to Mr. Obama in 2008, and then to Mitt Romney in 2012, followed by Mrs. Clinton in 2016, than to their respective presidential rivals.

This year, it’s Mr. Biden. Financial industry cash flowing to Mr. Biden and outside groups supporting him shows him dramatically out-raising the president, with $44 million compared with Mr. Trump’s $9 million.

Some criminals loot one hundred dollar shoes from Nordstroms.

Other criminals steal millions from investors.

Because there are no longer any capitalists on Wall Street.

Just rent seekers, virtue signalers and political suck-ups.

Bless their hearts, they want to bend over and say “Please sir may I have another!”

My prediction, WALL STREET will return to what it once was in New York and back alley where shady deals were made.

Stock trades can take place anywhere, one of these days a city other then New York will create a new improved “wall street”

It’s a scam. They say the tax rate is higher but they write in more loopholes and the tax lawyers make big bucks and revenue stagnates. Rinse and repeat.

We have seen this repeatedly. Wall Street supports democrats (and republicrats) because they (Wall Street) control the game when they have power. Wall Street is part of the DC/NY media bubble so they have a different reality than the rest of us who look at this and scratch our heads.

I seriously don’t understand them but it just shows how corrupt Wall Street is for them to support him. I guess they are CYA’ing

They are crony capitalists. They will still make big bucks and write in their own loopholes and the rest of us will be stuck in anemic growth mutual funds paying high fees. In other words, back to business as usual for Wall Street.

Of course Wall Street supports Biden -- just like they supported Clinton.

Big Business is no different than Big Government when it comes to the adverse impact it has on America.

No Biden won’t disappoint his corporate paymasters. The Dems attack Wall Street publicly but do what they want when in power. Big Pharma supported Obamacare in return for maintaining high prices. Suspect Trump’s drug price reductions and Buy American, Hire American policies are why Wall Street backs the Dems.

They lie. Nobody actually backs Joe Biden for President.
