... but he didn't, and Trump cannot get rid of Dodd-Frank without congress so good luck with that.

And, FWIW, Dodd-Frank is kind of like the ACA, better than nothing but not remotely a solution.

There will always be a 1%.

But there is no need for it to have CEO salaries over 300 times greater than worker salaries. It's unnecessary to have such great income inequality if you want to enhance competition to get highly capable people to the top positions. Such competition is good but you can have very healthy competition with much less disparity.

If income inequality is not addressed in a meaningful effective way, there will be revolutions.

throw the fuckers out of the windows. It would have been decades before the banks pulled shit like this. Instead.............................

I'm sorry but nothing has really been done to these miscreants. The President said, "What if what they did was not against the law?" This is one of the many reasons I am not so enamored with Obama.

But don't worry, Hillary will save us from the next crash!

We all need to sing that, or at least hum it, all the time. Especially around Wall Street types.
