The Clinton campaign is salty about this new Sanders ad slamming Wall Street.

Today the Sanders campaign rolled out an ad entitled “Two Visions,” which proposes two different ways of regulating Wall Street.

Bernie’s way: Break up the big banks, close their tax loopholes, and use their taxes to fund universal college education and health care. For an easy graphical representation of this plan, consider this banker handing over a sack of money to a family with kids: 

Sounds great, right? Wrong! The ad isn’t sitting well with everyone, as The Intercept’s Lee Fang notes.

It certainly seems that way.
