Tell me how the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act (repeal of Glass–Steagall), the odious Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (both of which were positively foundational to bringing on the 2007-2009 global financial crisis) and the horrid 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (joke of name), all 3 of them mightily pushed by Biden, worked out for the middle class?

Biden is famous for his support of unions and the principles of collective bargaining

PITTSBURGH, PA. – On Monday, Vice President Joe Biden intends to launch his presidential campaign at the Teamsters Local 249 in Pittsburgh with United Steelworkers President Leo Gerard appearing alongside him.

However, first, on Thursday, Biden is hosting a $2,800 dollar-a-plate fundraiser at the mansion of Comcast Executive President David Cohen in Philadelphia. Among the dozen select political power players on the host committee for Biden’s 1st fundraiser are Steven Cozen, founder and chairman of the union-busting law firm Cozen O’Connor.

According to Cozen O’Connor website, the firm specializes in union busting advertising that it helps employers to “avoid unionization through positive employee relations and regain nonunion status when employees indicate they no longer wish to be union-represented”.

The firm also boasts on its website that it helps employers to lock out their unionized workforce.

Another one of his co-hosts was Daniel Hilferty, CEO of Independence Blue Cross, the multi-billion dollar insurance giant. Hilferty is on the executive board of America’s Health Insurance Plans, who fought hard to try and block Obamacare, and now are extremely anti-Medicare For All and also anti-Medicare for those who want it (one out of those 2 plans are supported by almost all our other primary candidates).

Opposition to the Affordable Care Act

Investigation by the National Journal into the 2011 990 forms of both the National Federation of Independent Business and AHIP revealed that AHIP transferred $850,000 that year to NFIB in order to fight against the premium tax that is a key component of the Affordable Care Act.
