And as she says when confronted with this question,

“There are people on Wall Street who actually believe we need better rules, fairer rules,” Warren said last night as she toured small businesses in Davis Square in Somerville.

“That’s what I stand for. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with these financial institutions. A lot of people understand if you don’t have tough rules and a tough cop on the beat, the whole system is going to come down around us.”

There are actual very wealthy individuals, like Warren Buffett for instance, that agree with Elizabeth Warren. Why should she give money back to those individuals that AGREE with her? I doubt if CityGroup or Goldman Sachs are on that list.
