It is an interesting chart. But note, the financial industry was smacked down after 1929 and the economy went with them. The Great Depression. Yes the economy is growing slowly, but it's not a Great Depression, with all the pain that implies. If you care about regular folks you have to keep that in mind.

As to the rule of law, it doesnt seem like anyone can prosecute these guys because the stuff is so complex, and the communications methods are harder to track. That, and (mostly) Republicans made most of the stuff legal. And they will make even more offensive stuff legal if they get more power in November.

Really MM, you're looking for a perfect candidate that exactly matches your agenda. And if you don't get him, you'll vote against the incumbent. And you'll get somebody that's much, much less aligned with your views.
