I definitely don't consider worrying about ties to Wall St. a luxury. Two major issues the American people face today are the stagnation of middle class and lower class wages that don't keep up with the cost of living while CEO's salaries grow exponentially and the corruption of the system with things like lobbying and Citizens United. These are issues that greatly affect everyone, especially minorities and the poor, as the fight for civil rights relies on these issues being tackled.
Being in bed with Wall St. strongly affects a person's ability to properly address these issues, so I think it's something everyone, especially minorities, should be concerned about.
