Bernie Sanders With Keith Olbermann: "Wall Street Protests Are About To Get MUCH Bigger"

Video - Sen. Bernie Sanders with Keith Olbermann - Sep. 29, 2011

Olbermann confirms that NYPD thug Anthony Bologna is being investigated, and five large unions are poised to join 'Occupy Wall Street.'  Excellent discussion.

• "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."

$16 trillion to Ben's friends and Bernie begs for a few billion for jobs?

Imagine what $16T could have done. There has been a lot more stolen. $47T is a good estimate.

Wall street does not need reform, it needs abolishing. Those people are criminals who have stolen all they have.

Outlaw usury, starting with interest. Stop legalizing cheating. It's just going to get worse until you stop cheating.

why do these guys think that it is the left that is upset and trying to make a change . i am as far right as you can be and i am totally with these protesters . the real right is in full favor of kicking wall street to the curb ending the wars and closing the boarders so that the Americans that built this country can have the opportunity to work. that would be American Indians , blacks , Chinese that helped to build the railroads . Mexican Americans that fought against the corrupt government of Santa Anna , and whites.

the dividing line should be by seniority no one who did not struggle in the building of the country should enjoy the fruits of the labor that our great grand parents left for us race is not the only issue paying your way is the post 1964 immigrants got a free ride on the backs of the rest of us . close the boarders end the wars and kick wall street to the curb

You said that evil banker Morton shot you in the gut.

Don't forget these were loans were paid back. I'm not condoning the stealth bailouts, but I want to make sure people understand the facts. Wall Street serves a purpose. The point is that these banks should have been allowed to fail and executives who committed fraud should have been prosecuted. We need investment banking - it allows companies to raise funds and grow. But we also need to punish the irresponsible and criminally fraudulent.
