Do I have this right?

Hillary got paid for speeches she gave at Wall Street investment banks. Her campaign received personal donations from employees of Wall Street firms. Wall Street firms gave money to the Clinton Foundation.

violated U.S. laws on a regular basis, rigged money markets, and bilked their investors out of billions of dollars.

Hillary Clinton has already said she doesn't support Glass Steagall which would break these banks up.

They were too big to fail when they caused the great recession and now they are even bigger.

I kinda think for myself. I've never in my life needed some to tell me what I'm allowed to think or say. Been that way since I was a child.

I won't wait for Bernie to say, I have eyes of my own and a functional brain. And I don't have to be diplomatic.
