Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont wants to break up big Wall Street banks, and he's recently pushed a bill specifically to tax Amazon. "We must end, once and for all, the scheme that is nothing more than a free insurance policy for Wall Street: the policy of 'too big to fail.'" In a January Pew poll , 39% of Americans said Wall Street hurts the American economy more than it helps. That's down from more than 50% who said Wall Street hurt the economy more than it helps in December of 2011. Republicans were more likely in the poll to say Wall Street helps the economy, but it was still less than a majority of Democrats (46%) who said Wall Street hurts the economy more than it helps.
