If you aren’t outraged, you haven’t been paying attention.

What should be done? Last week the House passed a bill setting rules for pay packages at a wide range of financial institutions. That would be a step in the right direction....Unfortunately, the House measure is opposed by the Obama administration, which still seems to operate on the principle that what’s good for Wall Street is good for America.

Neither the administration, nor our political system in general, is ready to face up to the fact that we’ve become a society in which the big bucks go to bad actors, a society that lavishly rewards those who make us poorer.

Wall Street as in welfare street!

Question is not how fast Goldman Sachs's computer is able to consummate  trade(s)  or Mr. Hall's $100 million bonus.  Such outrageous acts have occured before and are accentuated in these times of economic hardship.   What beckons to be asked is the ever widening wealth discrepancy in America's social fabric and its consequences/ ramifications.  May we all live to see the day when these thieves are hung from the nearest tree on Wall Street
