HUFFINGTON POST: Wall Street-Friendly Lawmakers Sought Bailout For Shady Lenders
THE AMERICAN PROSPECT: Centrist Democrat Backs Bailout Plan Pushed by His Private Equity Donors
Wall Street’s favorite Democrat, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, begged the Federal Reserve to bail out “installment loan” lenders that prey on low-income Americans with interest rates of up to 182%.
Chip in to DEFEAT him and elect neuroscientist Arati Kreibich!
Rep. Josh Gottheimer refuses to support rent relief or $2,000 a month for every American during the COVID-19 crisis.
Instead, he wants to bail out private equity looters and high-interest loan sharks after taking over $2 million in campaign contributions from the financial industry.
Progressive neuroscientist Arati Kreibich is running to DEFEAT Gottheimer. She’s refusing all corporate PAC money, and needs your help to defeat Wall Street’s favorite Democrat.
Rep. Gottheimer wants to bail out private equity firms, which Sen. Bernie Sanders calls “vulture capitalists”.
These job-killing firms take over companies like Toys ‘R Us, and bleed them dry with “management” and “consulting” fees before mass layoffs, abusive practices that Sen. Elizabeth Warren calls “legalized looting.”
Gottheimer joined Trump to gut the Dodd-Frank Act, exempting huge swaths of our banking system from key safety regulations and stress tests. Gottheimer even tried to make it easier for scammers to prey on consumers by trying to strip powers from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
We’ve had ENOUGH of Wall Street Josh’s corruption. Arati Kreibich will support breaking up too-big-to-fail banks, restoring the Glass-Steagall Act, and stopping Wall Street abuses.
Thanks for standing up.
