Cenk, maybe if you get a lot more bulbs of your wattage you will begin to see the whole picture. The hedge funds ARE the big banks, they are all part of the 'Gulag Casino' as Max Keiser calls it. It's painfully obvious that you believe too much in capitalism to see its glaring flaws -- the "noose we will hang them with" as Lenin put it.

If you see vultures circling and don't hear any shooting, well that's your problem right there. You need to quit starving to death, grab the shotgun and have baked buzzard for dinner. If these hedge funds had a hefty capital gains tax, say twice the earned income tax rate, the governments would have the money instead of them and the governments would use it for their usual foolishness, you know, schools, roads, unemployment, health care, etc. Leaving the money on the table because some Croesus says "tut, tut, that would be class warfare" as he shovels it all into his purse is just plain dumb and stupid.

Right now, the buzzards are coming for Iceland and Greece, countries who don't have much reach to arrest and imprison bankers involved in control fraud. When they succeed at that, then they will sit in London and on Wall Street in security, knowing that no one dare arrest them for the economies they have crashed.
