Why Can't Our Economy Promote Equality and Shared Prosperity?
Posted On: Aug 30, 2016
Aug. 30, 2016  | OPINION | Instead of griping about the greedheads of Wall Street and the rip-off financial system they've hung around our necks – why don't we "Take on Wall Street"? … "Take on Wall Street" is both the name and the feisty attitude of a nationwide campaign that a coalition of grassroots groups has launched to do just that: Take on Wall Street. The coalition, spearheaded by the Communication Workers of America, points out that there is nothing natural or sacred abut today's money-grabbing financial complex… For starters, the campaign has laid out a five-point people's reform agenda and are now taking it to the countryside to rally the voices, anger, and grassroots power of workers, consumers, communities of color, Main Street, the poor, people of faith – and just plain folks.  alternet.org
