Dylan Ratigan and Senator Bernie Sanders (I) Vermont and Bernie is ready to break up the monopolistic banks

Senator Bernie Sanders is truly an Independent and a man on a mission. He is prepared to present legislation to break up the monopolistic banks. The largest 4 banks in the country issue 2/3 of all credit cards handle 50% of mortgages and collectively have $7 trillion in assets (over 50% of the United States GDP).

Over 10 years, Wall Street spent $5 billion on lobbying and $300 million in just 2009. He is aware that the middle class is collapsing and Wall Street is living in a parallel universe. Bernie also notes, "the issue is not whether Congress regulates Wall Street, it's the degree to which Wall Street regulates Congress."

Enjoy the 6 minutes as I am not sure Bernie took a breath...
