The focus should be on legislators. They do nothing. If you want to change Wall St., change their ability to give legislators money through lobbyists.
Legislators should represent their constituents not the folks who give them cash.
They need to cap the ratio of compensation between management and employees.
They should have any business that wants to sell items in the US, employ people in to US based on a ratio of generated revenue to number of US employees. This would solve our employment issues immediately, but our legislators would never take this action because they are too busy getting paid by lobbyists. DC is atrocious.
The people should be calling the shots. It's OUR government - It's OUR country! Who can represent the people better than the people themselves? Support a Direct Democracy!!
