The One Percent on Wall Street must save the nation by taking political control from President Donald Trump, says former President Bill Clintons 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 Trumps 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.
Dont [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, theyre bigger than ever. Twenty years ago, the 10 largest banks on the Street held 10 percent of Americas total bank assets. Now they hold over 70 percent.
You dont have to be an occupier of Wall Street to conclude the Street is still out of control. And thats dangerous for all of us.

The more Trump wins the more shrill they will become. For the last year they have pinned their hopes on “Russia Russia Russia” and now they realize it is dead and they have not paid attention to the winning policies of this administration. They will double down with ridiculous stuff like this, personal attacks on any person in the administration, and anything else they can grab onto.
It will get far worse than this..... I guarantee it. Their playbook is not working and the panic has set in.
He took time away from representing the lollipop guild to spew more nonsense.
Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless.
So to save Democracy we must kill Democracy? Just how freaking incoherently stupid will these people become? Everyday I think thy have hit rock bottom and they always manage to sink lower.
Them losing an election is NOT “the demise of the US Republic”. What a sad pathetic group of losers.
The Shrimpster speaks !
A left wing Democrat wants Wall Street in charge? Jesus, what a conspiracy of dunces.
Save a rope, just use SillyString.
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.
Wow. Talk about an alternate reality. President Trump is *stopping* the slide to American Facism, pushed so hard by Progressives.
President Obama did all he could to push Identity politics. Which is the very definition of angry tribalism.
Projection, big time.
Leftist always accuse their opponents of what they are doing.
You know, the Wall St. that gave James Comey his wealth for services rendered. THAT Wall Street.
A lot of Democrats stayed home or voted for third-party candidates because they recognized that the modern Democrat Party has precisely the same fascist Wall Street agenda that defined the GOP for years.
In effect, these voters knew damn well that there would be almost no difference between the administrations of Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush.
You are correct, and your observations reinforce my belief that we MUST get off of the ideologically pure position that we have to maintain laissez-faire when it comes to private business.
The Left is using it’s pull over private business to use Facebook to censor speech and to use banks to put gun dealers out of business. And because we’re more wedded to ideology than survival, we’re letting them.
A record which remains unbroken to this day...👍
He has NO right to call for the over throw of the duly elected government

Yeah, a coup d'etat by a rich oligarchy, that'll save American democracy. Thanks blam.

. looks a lot like Strother Martin.
"What we have here is a failure to communicate."
I expect Reich to be talking about impeaching Trump shortly.
Reich never gets far off the floor with any of his recommendations.
Reich’s opinions have changed very little from 10 or even 15 years ago.
I probably should cut short my comments before I run them into the ground.
Robert Reich, Bill Clinton’s Mini Me!
And let’s not forget that Hillary Clinton is the “World’s Smartest Woman!”
“. looks a lot like Strother Martin.
My bad, I thought Strother was the Whacko Judge in charge of the Biker Trials!!
