I don't want to live under a Wall Street government anymore.

[mmonk]

That is why the Goldman Sachs issue matters to me. It is why I support Sanders for President and Warren for Senate. eom

[stillwaiting]

1. K&R. Hillary's DOJ, Treasury, and other Departments will be run by neo-liberals that favor

Wall Street's continued dominance over policy.

Bernie's would not.

It's a HUGE difference, and it's one I can't believe we would pass up. It will be tragic if we do. It will ensure another decade of growing wealth and income inequality. I can't imagine how disgusted and hopeless most Americans would be after yet another decade of losing ground.

2. Keep up the good fight! nt

[Jefferson23]

3. Yep, and we who support him will keep on fighting..no matter how many Clinton types get in the way.

[artyteacher]

4. you could go off grid and. ..

Avoid money and investments I guess

[mmonk]

5. Or move to a free country.

[DrDan]

6. like?

[artyteacher]

8. Try somalia.... eom

[mmonk]

14. I prefer a social democracy over libertarian.

[JackInGreen]

19. No, that's a libertarian paradise

If you can't tell the difference, try.

[Punx]

29. I've thought of that

And my wife I have a place where we could do it. One benefit would be not paying federal taxes into the corrupt system.

But what about Medical Care? I'm getting to an age where it will matter, no matter how "healthy" my lifestyle is. And what world am I leaving to my children while I hide from it?

7. Some of Wall Streets biggest investments are off shore, abroad in those countries folks love to cite

[lostnfound]

9. I miss my old country, the United States, but it's dead now.

The oligarchy serves crap instead of civics.
Local communities are broke and powerless in comparison to corporate money being used to twist our political system.
When the US helps institute austerity programs that starve the masses and stop democracy in other countries, "disaster capitalists" makes money off of their misery. Keeping the common good at bay in the US --by suppressing the people's desire for national health care or community-wifi or by privatizing whatever had been public -- is a way to let the 0.5% continue to feed off of the dying carcass of the body of America.

We've been talking about the need for better infrastructure for over twenty years.

[EndElectoral]

10. K&R

[SoapBox]

11. Bravo!

I guess I never really thought of, living under The Rule of Wall Street.

That is just perfect!

[gordyfl]

12. You're Not Alone.

At Berni's Rally at Chicago State, it sounded like Bernie received the biggest roar from the crowd when he came down hard on Wall Street.

[UglyGreed]

13. K/R

[dchill]

15. K&R

[FangedNoumenom]

16. Why is this not a concern

for Hillary supporters? I really don't get it.

[Cobalt Violet]

18. they've got theirs

To hell with everyone else.

[Chicago1980]

21. What makes you think that Clinton supporters "have theirs"?

That's pretty presumptive of you just because some isn't necessarily on board with the candidate of your choice.

[Cobalt Violet]

24. They support someone who begrudges working people $15.00.

That's pretty I've got mine of them.

[JackInGreen]

22. Like another poster said yesterday

It's not so much that they're in for Hillary to the hair, they're more terrified of a Republican president. They see Hill as the only progressive option feasable, so is the way of the hopeless and broken hearted. Theyd have an empty social icon instead of the vaguest possibility of a republican.

[FangedNoumenom]

23. In terms of policy rather than rhetoric she's more of a republican

than Trump.

She also stands no chance against him in the GE. Ugh.

[JackInGreen]

26. Oh I know

But that seems to be the logic

[Cobalt Violet]

17. quite sick of it myself.

[Chicago1980]

20. And I don't want to live under a President Trump and

Supreme Court Justice Omarosa.

[Octafish]

25. Me, neither!

These are the wealthiest times in human history, though. Maybe we could do like Michael Moore talked about in "Where to Invade Next," use money going for wars without end or reason for re-building America, stop welfare for the wealthy, and put the banksters behind bars where they belong.

And if we "must," Austerity for Everyone sounds nice only if it includes Banksters.

[liberal N proud]

27. Even if you convinced all of DU to vote BS, Hillary will still most likely win the nomination

So you will then have to decide if you will vote for Hillary or Trump.

If you are thinking Trump or even a third party candidate, you have to ask what will America look like once Trump is done with his radical ideas? And don't forget what he might do to the SCOTUS.

[KansDem]

28. KnR

I agree completely.

[MaggieD]

30. Here's my advice then

Commit yourself to turning our state legislatures blue before 2020 when we will redistrict again so we can get rid of gerrymandering. Then help elect Dem congress people.

Realize the GOP is the problem and stop blaming Democrats. That's reality.

[JackInGreen]

31. Just a few more decades to undo that damage

Yessiree bob.

[MaggieD]

33. 6 years is not decades - it's not even one decade

Here is the problem with those that are politically naïve, IMO - they think they just have to get off the couch one time and problem solved. It does not work that way. Not here, nor in ANY country. Never has.

There is no instant gratification in politics. If you want change you have to work for it. And being a keyboard warrior doesn't do a single thing. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

[Orsino]

32. Yes. Let's compare Clinton to...

...the candidate who wasn't invited to address Goldman-Sachs out of the earshot of the press and the peasantry.
