It’s an exciting development: a few days ago, a coalition of labor, community organizations and elected officials came together to form a new “Take on Wall Street” campaign.
The goal is to rein in, if not actually end, the abuses the financial sector foists upon the country.Among the proposals are to break up the big banks, enact a financial transaction tax, and restore the barrier between commercial and investment banks.
