<<<<The banks need to be split up and especially Goldman Sachs.>>>>> Many of the banks don't have anything of value to split up. The leaders at Goldman Sachs need to have their play toy dismantled and taken away from them. Some likely should go to jail.

I agree with your underlying philosophy and world view but we are not getting there by mimicking and creating a left wing Tea Party. To get anywhere, Liberal (Progressive) Democrats must be united. Even that is not enough. That only gets Democrats to 45-46% of the electorate., at best. We need the undecided and we need to peel off the disaffected from the Right. This election and next are too important. Letting our emotions get the best of us is not anything the country can afford to do. I think I know what can happen. I voted for George McGovern. At the time, I didn't know anyone who was going to vote for Richard Nixon. I didn't even know anyone who knew anyone that was going to vote for Nixon.
