Sometimes you stumble upon a newly posted youtube video and you are so taken aback by it, you wonder, is the video poster chopping Drano crystals on the toilet tank top and snorting lines?

Dylan Ratigan: The Magic Money Machine Backing Wall Street Casinos Is Out Of Control; The 4 Things Needed To Fix Banking In The USA

More and more I'm liking this guy, Dylan Ratigan, for taking on the greedheads on Wall Street.

In this video, he rants against corporate risk taking which is backed by our government. He tells us why our children's children's children will be paying for the fraudulent Capitalism backed by our Federal Government. And then he explains how he would fix banking in the USA from this point forward with four simple steps:

1. Inject transparency, primarily to bring almost $600 trillion of crooked insurance scams to the forefront. Force almost all swaps onto exchanges, not just the 20% as current proposed reform does.

2. Demand capital to back Wall Street's gambling.

3. Enact a tax-code to encourage long-term investment and discourage short-term profit. Fortunes should not be made in minutes but over years through the creation of value to society.

4. Break up the Too Big To Fail banking institutions. Start with Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan. Right Now.
