5. Absolute Crap

I vaguely recall that there was a lot of somewhat analogous corruption and interbreeding between "lawmakers" and the predators/err-business-leaders back in the early '30's. If my memory is correct, FDR's appointee to the SEC, at that time an actual functioning entity, William O. Douglas (from Yakima!) enjoyed considerable success at making businesses actually behave as if they were operating in the democracy most of us here believe in.

We have to include a far more vigorous role for the few government business-regulating entities, consistent with the way the operated in the '30's, as a big part of Bernie's program. Or HRC's, if it comes to that.
