• Prosecute Big Banks--Enforce Riegle-Neal
    Section 101, Part 2 of The Riegle-Neal Act of 1994 states no bank merger or acquisition or new branch bank may be approved if a bank "would control, more than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository instituions in the United States." Three banks have been in violation of this since the Bush Administration. Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America--control close to 40% of the money in this country. The top five banks control 96% of the derivatives market. According to the New York Times the six largest banks now have assets amounting to 63 percent of GDP.

  • Pay the People
    Most medicine on the market is found though basic research and then developed to a certain level with part or all of public, tax payer funding in colleges and universities. Currently, when the final product is released no percent of the profit comes back to the people of the US that funded the research. Let's get a percent of the profit returned to the People.

  • Is there Double Write-down of Real Estate
    It appears that banks and insurance companies have been writing-down the same real estate securities without realizing it. What this means is that we don't have a real estate crisis, but just one big accounting mistake. It means that 50% to 100% of every home in the country has already been paid off without banks realizing it. Simply confirming this will send markets booming, housing crisis solved and 401k's rise.

  • Americans for Elective Taxation Policies
    We need an a tax system that allows individual citizens to choose which programs their money goes to. It is absurd to call this a democracy when citizens have so little control over their government, its policies, and its spending (especially while there is constant aggravation over this point). It's time for the United States to get a bit more democratic in its own borders.
