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.

“He has NO right to call for the over throw of the duly elected government”
I agree entirely, and consider that sedition. That’s what I meant. He has the right to disagree with policy, but not the right to undermine and attempt to negate the administration of a President legally chosen by the people. DC is full of unelected people like him who try to assert their own agendas and will.
the malignant dwarf has spoken, and we must obey.
“...midget...”
people McNugget!
Robert Reich is insane.
That is exactly how I read it too.
The Clinton Wave.
Too bad The Dwarf didn’t get the memo that his pal Bill has been kicked to the curb by the DNC
Apparently Reich like some others suffering from the latest political derangement syndrome does not understand what “democracy” means (is a private newspaper or broadcaster “democratic”???))), and most of all does not understand the foundations of this democratic republic. He said noting all the while Obama violated the Constitutional limits of executive authority, and was turned down for it often enough by the courts, yet fails to point out in his complaint just where Trump has exceeded his authority.
He seems, like many Democrats, to misconstrue opposition to their programs as “anti-democratic”, as opposed to anti-Democrat.
Clinton’s Munchkin “Progressive” anti-Capitalism Labor Secretary Robert Reich Pleads for Wall Street to Control the White House
The irony, it BURNS!!!!
LOL!!! Rush will have a field day with Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-uh! What a loser!
Maybe they can team up with 'intelligence' - people who want to save our democracy by nullifying the votes of the American people.
Did you ever see the movie “Watchmen”? He needs to be dealt with like the midget on prison was by Roshack!
They’re just showing their true colors. All that crap about liberal elites ‘caring’ about blacks, and illegals, and weird sex people is BS... the ONLY people they really care about is themselves. It’s ‘liberal elites FOR liberal elites’... Period.
