Something seriously needs to be done about all this unchecked greed rotting the country from the bottom up.

Wow...that's a long article (7 pages, I only read the first) and I don't have the mental energy to read the whole thing now, but man....

This is what happens all the time with the really big shit, the shit that takes a long time to build a case that will actually have half a chance of winning. If you hadn't posted that article, I would have remained unaware of how the Wall St. Fiasco had turned out...its not in the news but rarely nowadays, and it's human nature to let this stuff fade from memory. Nice to see somebody is getting the book thrown at them. I have a hard time thinking that any of the Big Wigs who were running this scam will ever get prosecuted, though. The little shits are taking the fall, then it's probably going to disappear until the history books have reason to start reporting on it.

I'll definitely go back and finish the entire article, seems like something we should know.

Edit: I think you meant rotting the country from the top down though, didn't you?

Well, my perspective I was looking at the country rotting from small cities on upwards. Its all semantics, however.

This will end up just like Ronald Regan and Oliver north. The little guys get a paddeling and the big guys keep on keeping on
