Greed needs guardrails!

Republicans and their corporate backers are trying to shift costs and risks onto the rest of us

@rbreich Our politicians need to show more courage to tackle all the issues facing the country. They are too concerned about losing their next election instead of doing what's best for the country. The country they were elected to serve.

Corporations won't bat an eyelash if they have to double the price of something. That has been evident over the last few years. Raising a tax by . 01 is debated endlessly and never happens.

@rbreich laws are meant to restrain the heartless
@rbreich or perhaps we might start nationalizing key industries, including the finance sector, and tell those executive parasites to get real jobs! No one should have enough wealth to oppress others nor to subvert democracy itself.
@rbreich old slogan we were playing with at one point: housebreak capitalism!
