Congresswoman Says Wall Street Runs Congress

Marcy Kaptur's quote is so good I have to mention it. She was asked,

"Do you think it's too harsh to call what has happened here a coup d'etat?"

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, Ohio, said, "The people here aren't really in charge. Wall Street is in Charge." (New York Times, Friday September 25, 2009, p. W3)

I dug a little bit and found these videos on You Tube:

Addressing Congress, January 7, 2009: "Wall street just robbed the biggest bank of them all - the PUBLIC TREASURY"

Marcy Kaptur calls the bailout criminal.

Marcy Kaptur asks Congress to pray for our republic.

Marcy Kaptur on Bill Moyers spilling the beans on J.P. Morgan.

On Bill Moyers, Simon Johnson warns that if the banks are not reigned in, they'll crash the economy again and it will be far worse, Marcy Kaptur says we need a 1,000 agents to pursue mortgage fraud and securities fraud.

She is pretty impressive!
