The ridiculous point about saying they should Occupy DC is that THEY ALREADY FUCKING ARE. The second ridiculous point is WE HAVE TELECOMMUNICATIONS THE POLITICIANS IN DC SEE THE OCCUPATION OF WALL STREET.

The problem is not the repeal of Glass-Steagall, Canada has nothing like Glass-Steagall and they are just fine. The problem is we have weak regulatory agencies, and too many of them. We need to rationalize our regulatory environment, reduce the number of agencies, reduce the number of regulations, and making it a serious fucking crime to break the regulations that are in place. I say we decide some value for a human life. Say $ 1.7m dollars. For every $ 1.7m you steal you are charged with one count of manslaughter. If you live in a state that has the death penalty, then the death penalty is on the table.
The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.
