Linda Thomsen is now defending the same people she was responsible for regulating. Gary Aguirre? A Whislteblower gets fired for getting too close to Mack. Madofff being investigated? He turned himself in!

The SEC needs to be completely rebuilt from the top down - immediately. To expect this organization to fix itself it stupidly naive and demonstrates a total lack of understanding of the nature of the problem

"The SEC needs to be completely rebuilt from the top down - immediately."

The last guy who tried to stand up to the oligarchs was JFK - and they blew him away in Dallas. Ever since then, we have been lost.

JFK did not stand up to the oligarchs, JFK and his whole family were jelous of the Italian mob bosses because they were not American and were making too much money, the mob killed JFK in retaliation to JFK's brother

[wtfjaftw]

@affiliate30 The government works with the mob.

How do you address the SEC regulation / Wall Street incestuous situation? Prosecute all higher-up players with insider trading, and move up the SEC staff into senior positions.

Captured is a good word to describe the Media situation; how many journalists have died in the last 10 or so years.....

The problem is those with the money are able to buy the politicians. It looks like the Republicans have been bought more.
