Today the Sanders campaign rolled out an ad entitled “Two Visions,” which proposes two different ways of regulating Wall Street.
One way to do it: Take millions in donations from big banks, then tell them what to do. 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.

Is criticizing and declaring you will tax Wall Street now a liability according to the Clinton campaign?
