Wall Street Insiders Admit To Witnessing Crimes

It’s been about seven years since the American economy effectively crumbled under a new recession. Since then, Wall Street has yet to answer for its crimes that led us into that disaster.

Now, it appears that corporate greed and malfeasance is stronger than ever within Wall Street, with absolutely no end in sight.

Ring of Fire hosts Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

4. I think you are right. But they know it too and are trying to lock down all of our options before

any type of correction takes place.

They are buying up the politicians and the media, stacking the laws and the courts to expend all law enforcement resources on street crime, but never Wall Street crime. They have granted a virtual license to kill to all cops, using military tactics, provided they only kill the unwashed rabble. And then they pile TPP on top of that, in case we dare to organize our city or state governments to pass laws in defiance of our corporate overlords.

3. If Walmart posted signs in their stores that read "Don't worry, we don't prosecute shoplifters"

what do you think would happen to the rate of shoplifting?

It seems when some people reach high levels of authority their common sense goes out the window.
