Wealthy traders need to be put in prison?
You have no clue about how Capitalism works. Your problem is that you believe in the government fairy. You view the government as some kind of mystical, omnipotent entity… as though it’s not full of the same kind of creatures that you complain about running wall street. The difference between self made millionaires and politicians is that self made millionaires actually earned the money instead of stealing it from taxpayers. That said, if somebody became a millionaire by lobbying the govt to pass “regulations” like Dodd-Frank that further Cartelize their industry by pricing small businesses and little guys out of the market, then I have no support for them.
The funny thing is Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank were some of the Pied pipers who led the country over the cliff during the 2008 crisis, and yet they are the ones who wrote the regulations. Talk about the inmates running the asylum. These guys were in denial during the entire housing bubble, they don’t understand the fundamentals of economics, they have no idea why we are in this mess… In fact they partially lit the fire, they are not going to put the fire out.
GROW UP.
