Bill Browder is a hero and he's going to beat Putin where it really hurts.

Countries that still believe in the rule of law need to enact their own Magnitsky Act (sanctions) and freeze any stolen money that's being laundered for Putin or other oligarchs. The oligarchs are stealing from the Russian people and hiding it in banks and investments (like property and stock purchases) in the US and Europe. Countries that allow this to happen are a party to their theft. It's that simple.

to enforce true transparency in finance. The pendulum seems to be pretty far in the other direction currently. Just my opinion, but way too many people, Dems included, still don't recognize that Wall Street needs to be kept on a chain like a chicken-killing dog.

We need to publicly fund all elections - no private contributions.

We need to revoke corporate personhood & make corporations serve the communities they are in, not just the shareholders. There has to be a balance.

Those two things would go a long way to giving power back to the people.
