37. I think it's a great idea...
The damage done by the rampant greed of Wall Street and speculators has quite literally destroyed the financial stability of the nation. The gauntlet has been thrown.

These are the same assholes that said they could regulate themselves, bankers were soon to follow...time and time again, it has been proven that self-regulation is an impossibility. The financial destruction done by these people is almost beyond comprehension, they have left the Middle Class destitute and have created vast wealth for a few that hold immense power.

Under bush, these thieves were given virtually unlimited access to pension funds, and other aspects designed to protect people as they retire, they have stolen money from common workers and risked virtually none of their own assets. It is as if they are in a casino, with your money, and when that runs out, they go to the next account to loot it...never spending a dime of their own ill gotten booty.

If I were in charge, there would be a lot of people under investigation, many would be in prison and I'd tighten the rules to the point where if some billionaire bastard farted, he/she would be up on charges.

For God's sake, we've gotten tot he point where corporate officers drive a company into the ground, then get multi-million bonuses for doing it. We're celebrating and rewarding failure...what the hell kind of crap is that?

My opinion on this is to crush them...simply crush them, and try to find honest people to take over.
