So I hear the Democratic Party "panders" to Wall Street!

24. Nobody is suggesting we disband Wall Street. You can't seriously think it doesn't have huge

influence on more than just the regulation of itself, but that alone is something that requires real pushback....not "whatever watch-dogging they agree to", compromise bullshit. How we regulate it...what we let Wall Street do that might put our economy and industries, and savings at risk, is the point. What we let bad actors get away with without anything more significant than laughable fines, and certainly without the prosecution of any individuals breaking our already too sparse laws, is the point.

The whole notion that something is not going to happen right now so lets not talk about it so that some day it will happen, has to strike you, when you think about it, as just a little absurd. Nothing becomes a reality without talking about it and pushing for it and getting the American people to see it as a viable possibility. Not talking about shit so that we can just keep trying to fight the shit the GOP IS talking about, is what we've been doing for the last 30 years.
