► During his eight-year tenure as vice president, the Obama administration pursued numerous regulatory efforts in the financial services sector, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule, which would have applied a fiduciary standard to financial advice given in retirement accounts. (The rule was later struck down in court in March 2018.)

► He proposes to raise the country’s corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% (which would still be lower than the 35% before President Trump’s 2017 tax legislation), and would raise taxes on the country’s top rate from 37% to 39.6%, according to Politico.

► He has raised $972,385 in contributions from the “Securities and Investment” industry, according to OpenSecrets.org (the most of any Democratic candidate).

► She has pledged to restore the Department of Labor’s vacated fiduciary rule, “so that brokers can’t cheat workers out of their retirement savings.”

► She sent a letter to DOL Secretary Eugene Scalia expressing concern that the Department would simply copy the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest rule when revising its own fiduciary rule. She called this a mistake, writing that the SEC’s rules “not only allow broker/dealers to give clients advice that is not in their best interest, but significantly water down the longstanding fiduciary standard that has protected the clients of investment advisors for decades.”

► She criticized the SEC’s Reg BI rule, saying at the time that the rule would “make it easier for Wall Street to cheat families out of their hard-earned savings.”

► She proposed a “wealth tax,” which she says would include no additional taxes on households with a net worth less than $50 million, a two percent annual tax on households with a net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, and a four percent annual “Billionaire Surtax” (with six percent tax overall) on households with a net worth over $1 billion.

Taxes on households with a net worth of $32 to $50 million would increase by 1%, with a 2% increase for households from $50 to $250 million, a 4% increase for households from $500 million to $1 billion, 5% from $1 to $2.5 billion, 6% from $2.5 to $5 billion, 7% from $5 to $10 billion, and 8% for households with more than $10 billion in net worth (with brackets halved for single filers). The tax would raise about $4.35 trillion in revenue in the next 10 years and “cut the wealth of billionaires in half over 15 years,” according to Sanders’ campaign site.

► He called Trump’s decision to nominate Eugene Scalia for Labor Secretary “obscene,” arguing in a September 2019 tweet that Scalia helped corporations like Goldman Sachs and Facebook “undermine health and safety regulations.”

► He expressed support for the Obama administration’s DOL fiduciary rule during his 2016 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

► He proposes a capital gains tax on the top 1% of all earners, and plan to revert the corporate tax rate to 35% by reversing the Trump tax cuts.

► In response to a question during a Dec. 19, 2019 debate in Los Angeles, Buttigieg critiqued Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax proposal, saying Americans were being offered a “false choice” between going extreme and maintaining the status quo and arguing that when politicians make promises, they must “make sure they’re promises that we can keep without the kind of taxation that economists tell us could hurt the economy.”

► She expressed a desire for the SEC and DOL to create uniform fiduciary standards for brokers and advisors in a 2013 letter co-signed with nine other Democratic senators. That letter urged the DOL to let the SEC release its own fiduciary regulation before moving forward.

► She’s raised $510,998 in contributions from the “Securities and Investment” industry, according to OpenSecrets.org.

► He proposed a wealth tax plan that he claims will raise $1.7 trillion; for filers with a net worth between $32 million and $500 million, taxes will increase by 1%, while taxes will rise 1.5% for those with a net worth between $500 billion and $1 billion, with it jumping to a 2% rise higher than that.

► He founded an investment firm in 1986, which began with $9 million in investments, according to Steyer’s campaign site (investors included universities, foundations and individuals). At one point, the firm had $36 billion in investments.

► Gabbard supports reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act, and co-sponsored 2013 legislation that would prohibit traditional banks from offering investment and securities services (corresponding Senate legislation was co-sponsored by Elizabeth Warren).

► According to Politico, Gabbard wants to prevent companies from deferring taxes on offshore profits. While she has not released a wealth tax plan, Gabbard voted against President Trump’s 2017 tax legislation.

► She’s raised $45,668 in contributions from the “Securities and Investment” industry, according to OpenSecrets.org.

► He criticized Elizabeth Warren’s “wealth tax” proposal, saying the implementation of the tax would be problematic in an interview with Vanity Fair reporter Peter Hamby. Yang argued that some taxpayers would go as far as to divorce from their spouses in order to get below the stated income levels.

► Yang’s tax proposal includes a “Value-Added Tax” with 10% standard rate, which he would use in part to pay for his proposal to offer a Universal Basic Income of $1,000 a month to every American adult.

► He has raised $131,566 in contributions from the “Securities and Investment” industry, according to OpenSecrets.org.

► Bloomberg opposes a wealth tax, saying that it just “doesn’t work” during a campaign event, according to Fox Business.

► In his tax plan released this weekend, Bloomberg advocated raising the top income rate from 37% to 39.6%, which was the set rate prior to the 2017 tax legislation, according to Politico.

Bloomberg’s campaign estimates the new taxes will cumulatively raise around $5 trillion in revenue.

► Bloomberg is self-funding his campaign.
