Clinton’s Labor Secretary Pleads For Wall Street Control Of The White House (Robert Reich, Resist)
Breitbart ^ | 4-30-2018 | Neal Munro

The One Percent on Wall Street must save the nation by taking political control from President Donald Trump, says former President Bill Clinton’s far-left labor secretary. “If the leaders of American business remain silent about what Trump is doing to American democracy, they will be complicit in its demise,” Robert Reich begged Wall Street CEOs in the April 26 San Francisco Chronicle.

Reich, who was a progressive Secretary of Labor from 1993 to 1997, justifies calls for a virtual occupation by Wall Street of the White House, saying:

As the Republican Party moves toward Trump’s looniness — his xenophobia, isolationism, attacks on the media and on truth, conflicts of interest, anti-Muslim and racist provocations, climate-change denials, proposed cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act, and the evisceration of the constitutional divide between church and state — Dimon and his ilk could come out big losers.

Let them try to sustain corporate profits as America slides toward authoritarianism. Let them try to maintain comfortable lifestyles as America descends into angry populist tribalism.

Don’t [Jamie] Dimon [chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co. bank] and other CEOs have a moral responsibility to sound the alarm?

This Reich is very different from the 2011 Reich, where he passionately supported the short-lived Occupy movement against Wall Street. In November 2011, Reich wrote:

… break up the big banks. In the wake of the bailout, they’re bigger than ever. Twenty years ago, the 10 largest banks on the Street held 10 percent of America’s total bank assets. Now they hold over 70 percent.

You don’t have to be an occupier of Wall Street to conclude the Street is still out of control. And that’s dangerous for all of us.

The Left obviously knows that Trump is winning big.

They are pushing now on multiple fronts (homsexuals, democracy, immigration, etc.) and everything they say now sounds like the ravings of a lunatic. No one can take them seriously. In this case — the economy is growing, unemployment is the best it’s been in 50 years. and we have a great tax cut. And this threatens democracy? We need Wall St to take over the government? Would you care to explain that me?

Meanwhile we have homosexual activists just stating the fact that VP Pence wants to put homosexuals in concentration camps. Really? You think so? And why do you think so?

These people are insane. Literally.

If Reich is a businessman, Gore is a scientist, and Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy is a mensa member.

The globalist totalitarians always talk about “American democracy.” We don’t have a democracy, and they know it.

So, now this Muchkin is telling us to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald city and take orders from the Wizards of Wall street?

Which Munchkin does RR resemble most?

LOL...a family member who loves this mental midget delusional POS also thinks Trump is running a cabal of wall street criminals in the WH.

His favorite progressive loon now wants Wall Street criminals to run the WH.

I wonder if his head will explode?

Wall Street control of the White House? Why does that idea sound familiar to me somehow?

Statists, leftists, facists - are all willing to allow some private business, AS LONG AS it politically reliable and can be regulated and controlled. Its why, ironically, progressives actually favor and promote oligopoly and big business. They know exactly who to call or squeeze when they need something. Big business is also happy to oblige if it protects them
