A full 90 members of Congress who voted to bailout Wall Street in 2008 failed to support financial reform reining in the banks that drove our economy off a cliff. But when you examine campaign contribution data, it’s really no surprise that these particular lawmakers voted to mortgage our economic future to Big Finance: This election cycle, they’ve raked in over $48.8 million from the financial establishment. Over the course of their Congressional careers, the figure swells to a massive $176.9 million.
The complete list of these Crony Capitalists is below, along with the money they pulled in from Big Finance, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics (opensecrets.org).

After looking at the charts, is it any wonder the Republicans are going to attempt to repeal any regulation?
You're problem is that you never deal with all the facts. There were plenty of good reasons not to support that bill. All the new regulations that rob YOU of more of your liberty. Government can now pry into you personal banking activities with ever more ease. Yes, YOURS.
Say good-bye to free checking too. Many banks are ending it because of the added costs they now have because of all the new regulations they have to comply with.
Why don't you listen to both sides of an argument before making a fool of yourself? See, you have no clue, nor do you even care, why they were opposed.
You sit in Obama's lap, and you believe everything this creep tells you. The man is a Marxist, buddy. He does not have your interests in mind, even though he purports too. He hates you. He hates all Americans, except his crony SEIU thugs.
Try thinking for yourself. Discover the facts. Then speak your mind. But don't come here and parrot the Daily Kos and Huff Po talking points.
Have you ever once looked at the amount of cronyism in the Party you love? Probably not.
Sure its disgusting... what about Democrats and Unions?? Are you going to provide a list to be fair? Personally, I don't like either party... but don't give Republicans crap that Democrats also do...

They are doing what their masters, the Wall Street elite, paid them to do.
