  • Give The Fed MORE Power? Why The Insiders Must Go
    03/02/10

    It is hard to overstate how out-of-touch the insiders in Washington are--and how much they are far more attuned to the demands of Wall Street and the financial powers-that-be.

  • An Open Letter To Jim Dean, Democracy For America

    Daily Finance

    In his quest to gain New York's Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, Jonathan Tasini isn't expecting much financial support from Wall Street power players. After all, he thinks many of them should be in jail.

    Instead, this former reporter and labor organizer is hoping to tap into the deep well of anger toward Wall Street, two years into a financial crisis that has cost more than 250,000 New Yorkers their jobs.
