True, but those seemingly smallish numbers account for much of the mayhem that took place. The buck stops at the CEO's and they will hopefully be held accountable. The boards are equally to blame too, given the conflicts of interest that are/were in place. One person can sit on mulitiple boards and provided they reciprocate with other companies boards, they can set and approve the huge salaries/bonuses for poor performance, etc and receive the same. All the while Joe stockholder foots the bill.
Bbbbbutttttttt, these folks(fiancial companies) are not unlike drug dealers, meaning there's addiction/demand for what they are selling. Enter the irresponsible/unknowing consumers AKA "drug users" who are equally to blame for this mess. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

Are the 500,000 possibly guilty? No? Then your point is moot.

my point - stop the need to point fingers and criminalize without understanding. the country is running around decrying evil wall street, why? it was ignorant and stupid of Obama to point the finger at Wall St. Did you read that JP Morgan didnt want the baliout money, the government forced it on them!
I was hoping our new president was a bright guy, but then again he is a lawyer and using his rationale, all lawyers are scum, talk about shameful. |

Stupid statement. Just a re-direction of anger from YOUR sector which is finally under much needed scrutiny. Nothing like a good cleansing of an industry that has it's own fair share of scumbags as well.

I was using his rationale of labeling an entire industry, based on some scumbags. I dont really think that. |
