more from the article....
“Overall, the poll exposed bipartisan disgust among those planning to attend Iowa’s presidential caucuses in February with those who invest in business or politics: 64 percent of those planning to attend a Democratic caucus voiced dissatisfaction with Wall Street, but in the stereotypically more business-friendly Republican Party, the figure was an almost equally high 62 percent. Among likely Democratic caucus-goers, 94 percent rated themselves unsatisfied or “mad as hell” about the amount of money in politics. For Republicans, the figure was 91 percent.”
Wall Street didn’t make any friends when it went over to the communist DemocRAT side. And yet, the commie ‘RATS still continue to refer to Republicans as “the rich”. Obonzo fixed that. Republicans aren’t “the rich” anymore. The ‘RATS made sure of that.
There have always been MANY MANY rich liberal elite demonrats.
I have worked in NYC in the past for many years and I’ve heard men making 200k say they were Communists!!
People with “no religion” sending their kids to the best catholic schools.
And a lot more.
Hypocrites.
I agree. DemocRATS are the biggest bunch of hypocrites the world has ever seen.
Build the wall! Make the great deals! Kick start our economy!
Did you hear today that he met with the president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce? I think we can still be surprised how Trump will go after the Hispanic vote. The Hispanic CoC president sounded pleased with the tone and graciousness of the meeting, said Trump was a listener, that they disagreed, that he was nothing like what he appeared to be on TV, very courteous, called him a gentleman, said he never interrupted. Also that Trump has a long way to go with Hispanics but that we will wait and see.
I just know there are Hispanic votes out there for Trump. Can’t wait for a shock poll on that to appear.
Big Business / Wall Street helped fund and promote both amnesty and the homo-marriage agendas onto the country.
They sided with the leftist trash that has been turning this country into the vile sewer it now is. They became the enemy. Traitor scum. And they can go burn in hell. What remains of my pro-free market bent is completely relegated to small, local business.
The RATS made sure to hurt the investor class. All that white privilege.
He said he was a communist!!! 200k!!!
And he wasn’t the only one!!
..heart palpitating...breathe deeply.
The Federal Reserve, and their member banks, have become a main pillar of Progressive government.
In exchange for unlimited debt, printed money and manipulated interest rates from the Federal Reserve to support the massive nanny state, they allow Wall Street to be crony-capitalist intermediaries for our financialized economy.
It is in no way “free market.” It is state-controlled crony capitalism to its core.
Hypocrisy of most democrats bothers me more than open advocacy of socialism by Sanders. At least he is honest about it.
Hear Hear!
The financiers of Obama type federal government. Plus the Federal Reserve in DC has a bloated affirmative action oriented staff churning out (make work) liberal studies on redlining and disparate lending and has a few enforcement arms for meddling in business
You are right. I HATE what he stands for but I can live with the honesty. And he is not very wealthy.
For some insane reason I think his voting on the military is pretty good.
A broken clock...
I have heard this again and again....people who have actually met with Trump in person, universally come away with a positive impression of him. That is true even with people who are ideologically opposite of him.
A few weeks ago I was TV channel surfing and herd this rant from Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC. He told his audience, “what I am going to say is going to surprise you. And that is I like Donald Trump! Although he is opposite of everything believe in, he found out I was having serious health problems, and he actually got in touch with me and wished me a speedy recovery! Trump knew I was going to resume bashing him when I got back to my job, but I was touched by his kindness.”
Bush-43 is responsible for a lot of that. He appointed Goldman Sachs people in important positions in his administration, and he was easily pursued into TARP by them, which was basically saving Wall Street bank cohorts of his Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs.
Trump is a doer. You can bet that wall will get built, perhaps largely by illegals on a path to a green card. Drones, lots of drones!
Using the vernacular from the article, it’s pretty easy to see why people like him. He may be a real-estate peddler, but not trying to peddle influence.
People said the same of Reagan. Some Democrat friends of mine said they hated everything Reagan represented, but they couldn’t help but like him in person. Of course, that was back in the dark ages when Democrats were political opponents, but still part of the same species...
Yeah, Bush 43 sold us down the river. The bottom line is that while yes Barney Frank, Bill Clinton and Robert Rubin were in the pocket of Wall Street, George Bush and his SEC appointment Christopher Cox let Wall Street and the banks run amuck for 8 years.
And Phll Gramm and his GOPe buddies helped bring down Glass Steagall along with Clinton, Greenspan and Rubin back in 1999.
Then in 2008 we bail out all the failed banks just for the privilege of having them pay savers .0001% annually on your savings accounts for the last 7 years.
Now we add Obama regulating the industry, but not in the way you want. He’s basically shutting down commerce in the name of “consumer protection” while at the same time making it much harder for the smaller firms and banks to compete.
This is just a crony mess both parties have contributed to.
