Unfortunately the criminals will never get properly punished for crimes against humanity.
Don’t feed me the spin about how profits get invested to help society. This kind of profit is purely unearned income, stolen from the pockets of those who work the hardest have the least money and pay the most to play the game.

Rick@rbreich Had Eric Holder indicted the CEOs of the Wall Street securities fraudsters and Tim Geithner broken up the big banks, those blue collar Americans who lost homes, pensions, and jobs in 2008, would not have abandoned the Democratic Party in 2016.
