I'd like to see a candidate promise a world wide war on white collar crime. Go after these scumbags

[brewens]

wherever they are. All free democracy's working together and demanding cooperation from the rest of the countries.

Go after all types of big money fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and any other forms or corruption. Use military force to take them or kill them if need be. Apply severe sanctions to corrupt countries that hide them and their ill gotten gains.

Put a complete halt to people like Trump, corrupt oligarchs and rulers around the world that are looting everyone. I'd love to see the reaction to anyone serious that promised that.

1. That would be nice

don't see it happening, but it would be nice.

[Firestorm49]

2. I agree.

[shanny]

3. Amen.

And dust off the anti-trust laws too...which are still on the books.

[brewens]

4. Any Democrats that would object to that, I'd have to question if someone owns their ass

and they know they don't dare support it. That's all part of the huge mistake our leaders made by selling us out and going for the big corporate money.

[procon]

5. Democracies fail when the rule of law is adjustable to suit the whims

of those in power at the moment. If the onepercenters are so irredeemably corrupt and evil they should face legal consequences, not extrajudicial murders. By advocating lawless vigilantism and killing, you would take us still farther down the road toward anarky and away from the democratic ideals of equality and justice. We must not become that which we abhor in the opposition just to force about a quick change, the real goals must be protected.

[brewens]

6. I was more thinking if one was killed, it would be in an attempt to capture them after they

had been given every opportunity to turn themselves in and face justice. I see no problem if that were to happen.

[JudyM]

7. This is in that general universe... gives me hope.

Not exclusively corruption, but it will cover that too.

Democracy Now: Yanis Varoufakis & Bernie Sanders Launch New Global Movement Against Far Right

It was the first successful election for the far right in Spain since the country returned to democracy in the 1970s after the death of fascist military dictator Francisco Franco. We speak with economist and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who is launching a movement with Senator Bernie Sanders and others to fight right-wing forces around the globe.
