Can i prove it?
No, I only can go by what the law says and what Corzine did.
That is the SEC's job and eric Holder. Why do you think they've done nothing?
The fact that the feds haven't prosecuted one bankster under Obama is ridiculous.

If it was Bush you'd be screaming off the roof tops. because it is "your guy"....not so much, in fact you are circling the wagons with the likes of SP, Chinu, Tejek, koan, etc.

Your actions are just as blindly partisan as lindybill and his right wing cronies in defending Bush.

Since the Great Recession ended in June 2009, one measure of income inequality has reached its widest point in more than 40 years. The Gini index, which measures how income is distributed, was 0.47 in 2011 – a 1.6 percent increase from 2010 and the first statistically significant annual increase since 1993. A score of 0 would indicate perfectly equal distribution, while a score of 1 would reflect a population in which one individual received all the income.
