We learned this week that Wall Street needs to lawyer up - because the Federal Housing Finance Agency is filing suit against more than a dozen of the nation's biggest banks - accusing the banksters of selling junk-mortgage securities to investors - which was the trigger of Bush's 2008 financial crisis. Mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lost more than $30 billion after the banksters hustled them into buying these piles of mortgage junk - and now the government is coming to collect.

But I'm going to ask them to hold off for just a little bit on filing this lawsuit - because it just so happens - I'm holding my own trial against the banksters tonight - as well as a slew of other corporate criminals.......

    • Not only should we still have this law on the books, but we should bring back the maximum life allowed law for corporations as well. After 25 years a corporation must be dismantled. And to promote growth only allow their assets to be sold to private businesses without a corporate charter.

    • Have you noticed how many more tv news personalities are getting involved in this revolution? I read something about what Hartmann was talking about last week -- we were a helluva country 200 years ago -- companies that failed to act for the good of humanity were given the 'death sentence.' It's time to channel our ancestors.
      Pwr 2 the peons! Off with Goldman Suchs head!

    • Well if the GOP wants corporations to be considered people then they should be subject to the laws people are like being thrown in jail for robbery and murder.

    • Thanks Schnookums! Thom Hartman is one of my personal favorites!
      The Corporate Death Penalty! Try getting the greedy pack of slime in Congress to bring it back! Not without a clean sweep first!

      The Supreme Court needs a flush as well! Can't forget them! The truth is, all of this could be fixed quickly with a few hundred or so public executions! A little extreme perhaps, but I'm sure, the treatment would cure the sickness!

    • The threat of revoking corporate charters would shake them to their cores......wonder who or what State would have the bravery to credibly threaten something like that?
