3. Who is voting "Everybody"?
Democrats have had nothing to do with this - we've been the ones pushing for more regulation, more oversight. The Rethugs are the ones who have had control of Congress for most of the past two decades and allowed these institutions to run ramshod over everyone, encouraged predatory lending practices, etc.

4. I voted for Everybody
Everybody but me.

Democrats are culpable mainly for their inaction.

5. Remove regulation and expand access
Sounds like a centrist compromise.
