Sorrry spas but it was the killing of Glass Stegal that allowed AIG to dream up those phony derivatives and the credit swap paper that put the economy in the toilet. That was when people woke up to the fact that the free enterprise system was simply another name for the free greed system. We need another Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt that is.
Capitalists are only as honest as they are forced to be, once the Masters of the Universe at AIG saw there was no longer any danger of them going to jail they ran amuck.
Now if you or I rob someone we go to jail, those bastards robbed everyone and they get bonuses.

I do not understand why this has not been spoken to by either the right or left. This is a real threat to our country and our way of life and all ignore it.
Why?

Why?

Because both factions of the powers that be are in on it?
Gubbmitt ain't go no bunko squad, least not an independent one.
Ever feel like you've been set up?

Money talks. Then Wall Street wraps the whole building in our flag, a flag they have no right to nor any respect for.

Capitalism and patriotism seem to be at odds with one another more times than not.
( I think I worded that nicely )

I has been covered in the news quite a bit if you will give up on Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS and watch PBS.

Nah, it's just TV without an axe to grind, no real sponsors.
