<<Didn't Clinton sign the repeal of Glass-Stegal?>> Yes, and hired Rubin and that set the stage for the 08 meltdown. But Bush and Greenspan using Ayn Randian nonsense economic ideas of greed is good, and that regulations were not needed at all, drove the truck of disaster through the opening rubin and clinton gave them. <<Why does the majority of Wall Street vote D?>> If they do, I would guess it is because they are educated. The ideas of the right wing make no sense. Best recent example was the vote getting rid of DADT. Almost all right wingers voted to keep it. Just like they voted to keep segregation in 1964. That is childish stupid stuff. Or, denying evolution, global warming, peak oil, world pollution, nuclear dangers, etc. And while this is more of a matter of irritation when it involves outlawing stem cell research, it becames very dangerous when these conservative folks get ahold of the nuclear weapons and start sabre rattling, like bush did wanting to ring russia with armed countries, including missles in Poland. For no good reason. The Republicans are dangerous because they do not think things through. Bush went into Iraq not understanding the difference between Sunnie and Shia, or even talking with his dad! And took his eye off the ball with regard to China. And in fact indebted us to them.
