[You could fill a page with crimes committed by financial and corporate sectors. Crimes with slap-on-the wrist penalties and fines paid not by the criminals, but by shareholders and ultimately, a public that watched in disbelief as perps walked away with bonuses totaled in billions. Taxpayers, victimized twice: once by the original crimes, and again by bought politicians colluding with the financial sector in hiding and disguising the staggering extent of global damage. Damage measured in debt; in losses by tens of trillions, and in misery for hundreds of millions.

In the 30's, at least there was some justice. Crooks went to jail. There was reform: principally, Glass-Steagall. Today's exposed fraud and crime was practiced globally and driven ideologically.
