This should be saturating the airwaves across the country, through loudspeakers, a la "A Boy and His Dog." Please broadcast this in a continuous loop at the Wisconsin Capitol, until everyone has it memorized. Gotta Revolution.

Thank you Mr. Taibbi. The key word is regulatory capture (the system is fixed).

The monetary system had its use when we where trading the fruits of our labour on the market. The word has gotten more complicated and the monetary system has gotten even more complicated. And because of that its easy for the people withknowledge and recources to be corrupted whitout the general public to notice it. We are exploiting the fruits of the work of 3th world countries and of our own nations. this shit has got to go!

"This is no different than drug dealers who take a bag of oregano & sell it to you as a pound of weed." LOL. Classic comment.

However, I'd say that what these business criminals, shysters, & banksters did was quite a bit worse than that because the consumer did not have the opportunity to smell (use common sense) the goods. What they did was sell hermetically-sealed oregano while guaranteeing its authenticity as AAA.

I agree with Jon Stewart on this. The real issue is Corruption-- especially when it comes to our "regulatory" agencies. SEC, FCC, that agency that licensed oil rigs for the Gulf, the Dept of the Interior snorting coke off microwaves lol... EPA too... more of a protection FROM prosecution than actual regulation to protect US. Hey...Iceland threw bankers in jail, why don't we???
