Who does Finance support?

I know I'm a little late, but which way is Wall Street leaning? I'm a first year IB Analyst that will be spending half of the next presidency in IB, and the other half in PE (hopefully). I don't think ill be making more than 400k before 2024 so not sure if Biden's tax cuts impact me.

It's actually kind of complicated. There are necessarily a lot of New Yorkers in finance who have been indoctrinated into the Left through living in the northeast or through Ivy Leage Schools.

At the same time, given that finance people are typically better educated in economics than the average voter, a lot of them are pro-free markets/anti-socialism.

So, it's kind of a mixed bag. Hope that helps.
