It's Time to Break Up the Banks

By Bernie Sanders, Reader Supported News

  http://readersupportednews.org/images/stories/alphabet/rsn-T.jpghe greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street drove this country into the worst recession since the Great Depression. Their casino-style gambling has helped divert 99 percent of all new income to the top one percent. And it has contributed to the most unequal level of wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth.
In the midst of all of this grotesque inequality sits a handful of financial institutions that are still so large, the failure of any one would cause catastrophic risk to millions of Americans and send the world economy into crisis.
If it's too big to fail, it's too big to exist. That's the bottom line.http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/32475-its-time-to-break-up-the-banks
