"We’re still disappointed we lost as many as we did," said James Zogby, a Sanders appointee to the committee, in an interview earlier this week….(some pro-Sanders media outlets said the draft of the platform was "betraying progressives")
1) Eliminating conflict of interest at the Federal Reserve by making sure that executives at financial institutions cannot serve on the board of regional Federal Reserve banks or handpick their members.
2) Banning golden parachutes for taking government jobs and cracking down on the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington.
3) Prohibiting Wall Street from picking and choosing which credit agency will rate their product.
4) Empowering the Postal Service to offer basic banking services, which makes such services available to more people throughout the country, including low-income people who lack access to checking accounts.
5) Ending the loophole that allows large profitable corporations to defer taxes on income stashed in offshore tax havens to avoid paying more taxes.
6) Using the revenue from ending that deferral loophole to rebuild infrastructure and create jobs.
These are all good ideas. Here's hoping Bernie's next move will be to construct a movement to advocate for them: this Team Hillary member would gladly support that.
