holder had more important priorities…

Money does not equal free speech used in politics it equals bribery. The people and companies (they are people too) are not being prosecuted because their wealth protects them even though much of that wealth is ill gotten gains.Democracy, capitalism, free market thrive on equality and no one being above the law.

An’ it’s all nice ‘n’ legal.

What did one expect. It is the rich and the bought lackeys that make the laws.

If one of them was responsible for your loss of retirement funds and additional financial stress caused your family to split up and etc… that individual would receive a large bonus. If you hit the sob in the mouth for his actions, you would go to jail. your violence is illegal, theirs is legal.

My brother in law retired as an executive at B of A, just before the Reagan changes came in. A couple years later, he stated that the banking industry had become a legalized Mafia. Yep.

The second panel should’ve shown the bank (and, by extension, the entire economy) up in flames.

The rich are buying the country one politician at a time. Then the bought politicians enact laws to enable the rich to make more money to buy more politicians who will enact more laws to enable the rich to get richer so they can afford more politicians who etc etc etc. Meanwhile, that money has to come from somewhere, so the Middle Class is sinking further and further into lower class living conditions ever day. If it hasn’t happened to you-YET- look around you. You have a friend, relative or neighbor who’s already there.But, the one good thing about a “bought” politician is that you can count on them not to have the integrity to stay “bought” if it will keep them from getting reelected. We have to get it together and elect the people who are least in the pockets of the 1%ers- none of them are completely clean of corporate money, but there’s a better and worse candidate in every race. Do your research into their voting record and find out which one is fighting for the rich and which one is for the Middle Class ( at least relatively), and vote accordingly. If we don’t vote for our own best interests, and do it soon, the Middle Class is toast."

sorry, but the savings and loan fiasco saw quite a few incarcerated.

Too rich for jail.
