Wall street never was and never will be accountable. Capitalism is a sham!

The people are the problem. We vote every day for what companys get to stay and which to go by buying their products. If the government was small as it should be and federal powers reduced to the bare minimum, issues with coprerations would be Local not Global and could be combatted quickly by the consumers and worksers. In a competitive free maket without corperate subsidys and and entitlements true innovation would be the only way for a company to make it to top tear.

While the 'man' speaks the sweet words that will keep you calm, reassured and thus good tax payers, the torrent of cash flow going into wall street keeps flowing.
