Are people who work on Wall Street or for big banks allowed to be democrats? [View all]

Years ago,I saw a poll that found that most Wall Street workers leaned democratic. It makes sense since New York is a blue state and democrats do a better job with the economy.

If individual Wall Street workers lean democratic and have a lot of money to spare, why are we discriminating against those workers for donating to our candidates? Are we saying that a donation from a nurse is acceptable, but a donation from an Edward Jones analyst isn't?

What would you say to someone who leans democratic but happens to work in the financial industry?
