Larry Summers (D.E. Shaw, a hedge fund), Diana Farrell (Goldman Sachs, McKinsey and Co.), Jacob Lew (Citigroup), Willam Daley (J.P. Morgan Chase), Gary Gensler (Goldman Sachs), Phil Murphy (Goldman Sachs).

How quickly you forget....

You speak like a firm believer in Wall Street corruption. Its just as deluded as the Obama crowd defending Wall Street corruption when he was in charge.
So you didn't back up your claim that Trump begged for and got money from Wall Street.

I didn't think you would.

Does that sound like somebody interested in reforms for the "little people" in Appalachia? He's vested in deregulation for banks and big pharma and corporate welfare for insurance companies. Warren Buffett also funds him, isn't he supposed to be some Democrat Boogeyman?

Mitch McConnell's top 10, Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs, Kindred Healthcare, Humana, BCBS, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. What does that tell you? These are not men interested in any kind of reform that would benefit any of us on this site
The same can be said of the democrats, too.

All politicians nowadays get political contributions. The irony is that Trump is actually the least special interest funded guy out there.

Both parties are owned and controlled by big business.

It's time to stop the "liberal vs conservative" and "Democrat vs Republican" bullsh-t, and realize that the real battle is between the interests of the 99.9% vs the interests of the top 0.1%.

Right now the 0.1% has the bottom 99.9% fighting amongst itself over tribal identity issues. And the 0.1% is laughing all the way to the bank, as the 99.9% are forced to work longer and longer hours for less and less pay.

When you use words like "battle" you are really advocating for class warfare. That really is not a path you want to go down.

You mistake me for one of those liberals who think the Democrats are innocent little angels. They are not in the slightest. Why do you think they ousted Sanders?
