'It may require our military in Mexico working in concert with them to kill these drug cartels and to keep them off of our border and to destroy their networks. I don't know all the scenarios that are out there but I think it is very important that we work with them, to keep that country from failing.'

'We Need A LOT Of Pressure On Wall Street': Bernie Sanders

'Right now, and a lot of people don t know this, you have six financial institutions, the largest six banks in the country, who control sixty percent of the assets of the United States of America. After we bail them out, because they were too big to fail, three out of the four largest financial institutions actually became bigger.'

Transnational Peoples Movements Form to Respond to Transnational Injustice

Matthew Cappiello and Kevin Zeese, Truthout: 'Transnational citizens' movements are developing to respond to transnational political and economic elites.

The Ideal Capital Gains Tax Reform

Gerald E. Scorse, Truthout: 'Advocates of tax breaks on capital gains claim that investments in the stock market grow jobs and grow the economy. For all but a trace amount of the billions of shares that change hands every day, that s patently untrue. Almost none of the money that flows through Wall Street goes to companies or grows jobs; it simply grows portfolios. Except for the exceptions. Small companies with big dreams use initial public offerings (IPOs) to help make those dreams take root and flourish.'
