because it goes against Hillary's philosophy, or you were hoping to smear Bernie by insinuating he has an 'in" with Wall Street, just like Hillary, because of this guy's answer to a direct question on economics.

This guy works on Wall Street (or did...don't know if he still does)...but he obviously understands a lot about economics theory, as his answer shows. Robert Reich, or Richard Wolff have both said this, probably many times. Like I said, it's a well known fact of economics. The trickle down economics of the Republicans has long been debunked, even though there are economists out there that try to cling to it.

It's actually rather unusual to hear a Wall Street biggy admit the truth about this fact of economics, because this goes against their methodology, of needing bigger and wealthier corporations (meaning offshoring jobs) to feed the greed. And Hillary is into Wall Street and trickle down economics...or at least she's never fought against it.

So yeah...you can pretend that you don't care...no skin...right!
