    The Fed only has the power to cut and raise interest rates. Congress has all the power to actually change anything. It’s currently run by the neocon extremists that only want to cut taxes for the wealthy, hurt minorities, kiss Putin and attack China.

    There’s so many options to do but Republicans and corporate Democrats will never even attempt it.

    • Windfall profits tax.
    • Maximum wage
    • Wealth tax
    • Fully find the IRS to go after tax cheats.
    • Make stock buybacks illegal
    • Make all wages be paid 100% in legal tender, no more stock options.
    • Raise capital gains tax

    I’d love to see executives go on strike. Approximately 0% of the economy will be affected.
