Subject: RE: BS: The REALLY Big Lie
FDR went a long way to loosening the grip of the robber barons in the 1930s by instituting regulatory agencies and making them behave themselves.

But Reagan systematically gutted FDR's regulators in the 1980s.

We need to put real regulators back in those agencies, let Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy come to an end (which they were supposed to), and repeal Citizen's United.

And additionally, lobbying should simply be redefined as what it truly is:   bribery.   And be made illegal.
