We must break apart the "Greed is Good" brainwashing. Re-define it as a mental illness/addiction that society understands.

We need a societal change so we don't raise our children to worship disturbed Banksters, but shun them.

Society has accepted Casino gambling addictions as a illness needing treatment, so why not somehow piggyback with this?

We have Capitalism as unsustainable, Democratic Socialism as the right way. Why should we only break up the banks and let all the mentally disturbed people with money start-up new scams.

So how do we make greed an illness requiring treatment?

This safe-way concept is great for conservatives looking over there shoulders but not for a revolution. His message can and will expand so why not include a piece of this?
