Legs Dimon and Pretty Boy Lloyd, not their pet politicians of either party.

I believe in getting to the root of the matter. That means in America, as it did in Iceland, the crooked bankers go to jail and the politicians should be told to work for the people. That will require campaign finance reform and, for those who still won't listen (hey, Senator McConnell, are you listening?) denial of re-election. It's up to us to show the world we want politicians who do the people's business rather than those who are simply corporate whores.
