It seems reasonable to assume Wall Street contributions prevented President Obama from taking aggressive action to hold people accountable for crashing the economy and stealing millions of homes from Americans via mortgage fraud.

Bernie's campaign financing, avg $27 contributions from ordinary people, is EVERYTHING.
