"Government has coddled, accepted, and ignored white collar crime for too long."
Edited on Wed Jul-20-11 10:11 PM by kpete

"Government has coddled, accepted, and ignored white collar crime for too long. It is time the nation woke up and realized that it's not the armed robbers or drug dealers who cause the most economic harm, it's the white collar criminals living in the most expensive homes who have the most impressive resumes who harm us the most. They steal our pensions, bankrupt our companies, and destroy thousands of jobs, ruining countless lives."

6. Absolutely spot on!!
Unfortunately, they control the money/power, the law and the law makers. Not much left to us but our pitchforks.

7. I miss the old mob
At least when they were running things they understood that the little guy needs to get his beak wet too. This new corporate white collar mob doesn't get it at all.
