Obama went from around 690 looks like to 1800 in 8 years
What a poppycock article
The distinction between Wall Street and Main Street is an important one.
Wall Street can thrive as Main Street loses hundreds of thousands of jobs- one of the “benefits” of a heavily globalized financial sector.
And while Wall Street can donate a billion dollars it’s Main Street that can actually vote.
And in 2016 Main Street voted for Donald Trump.
Decades ago the Democrats listened to blue collar America. Today they despise them as deplorables and smelly Walmart voters. Today Democrats have become the party of rich progressives, comfortable government bureaucrats, and the managerial class.
Republicans used to have the well deserved reputation for being the party of the corporate suite. They often still are, with Reagan and Trump being outliers, outliers who cut into old Democrat voting strongholds.
At one time being the party of the corporate suite wasn’t a problem, but that’s when American corporations employed Americans. Globalization has changed that. I’m not sure that ‘American corporation’ has any meaning at all anymore.
