Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders generated quite a bit of buzz by accurately noting, “I believe the business model of Wall Street is fraud,” during an interview on CNN. Although Hillary strains herself to sound populist for the cameras every now and again, her plunging popularity is not merely the result of high profile scandals. Rather, she has a long history as a dedicated Wall Street coddler, and no amount of soundbites will convince anyone to the contrary.
Of course, we’ve seen some grassroots acknowledgement of this fact earlier this year, when the following cartoon appeared across New York City:
Fast forward a couple of months, and there’s currently a bill in Congress known as the “Financial Services Conflict of Interest Act,” which aims to crack down on Wall Street golden parachutes. Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley have already come out in favor of it. Hillary has not. Perhaps this is why.
