http://www.wsj.com/articles/hedge-fund-money-48-5-million-for-hillary-clinton-19-000-for-donald-trump-1469784601

Can Clinton be trusted to rein in the financial industry and stop income inequality?

Who cares.

I'm sick and tired of people constantly bashing Wall Street.

Hedge funds didn't cause the recession (investment banks did). Hedge funds are just investment firms that harmlessly trade stocks to drive returns for them and their investors. Hedge funds are pretty harmless. I'm tired of this anti-Wall Street demagoguery. As a Clinton supporter, I think it's a great thing that people who work at hedge funds are supporting her over Donald Trump.

Hell to the no.  She's not going to change anything except where her own interests concern.  Probably will bring back that stupid 10-round clip nonsense gun law from the 90s that did absolutely nothing and some other things that just line her pockets.

As a fiscal centrist (but socially liberal), the fact that our candidate has support amongst Wall Street donors doesn't bother me in the least.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Almost all of the animosity towards (((Wall Street))) is due to anti-semitism.

So what you're saying, is that Trump is really cheap?

I think we all knew that already.

I'm not going to allow god damn Republicans take the mantel of being "for the people" on economic issues when Trump will offer just as big a tax cut for the rich as any other Republican, block efforts to raise the minimum wage, ect. ect.

They probably just gave Hillary that money for being so courageous during 9/11. I mean she voted for the Patriot Act and the Iraq War to keep us safe. Clearly Wall Street would give her money as a reward.

Clinton Supporters now support rich people, and banksters ruining the american people, and the economy, taking advantage of working families, gleeing in the support of rich, corrupt hedge funds, which ruin the lives of many people. If you dare criticize against this, you're a racist or a xenophobe, or even anti-Semitic. .

If you look at what Trump or the Republicans support in terms of actual policies, not just rhetoric, then it is just plain gullibility to believe that the Republicans would do a damn thing about BANKSTERS or doing things for the benefit of working people. People accused Obama of being a Wall Street shill and he passed the most basic and toothless Wall Street reform ever that Republicans trash day in and day out as TOO MUCH REGULATION.

But was Bernie Sanders being anti-Semitic when he rallied against the big banks and 'millionayuhs and billionayuhs?'

This is proof that most people who criticize Wall Street are uninformed and have no idea what they're talking about.

Hedge funds are investment funds that harmlessly invest in the stock market to drive returns for them and their investors. Almost all hedge funds don't ruin the lives of many people. I understand the hatred towards investment banks, but not hedge funds. Most hedge funds are harmless. Shkreli is a rare exception.
