Jon Corzine just stole billions of dollars. That’s not capitalism. There is supposedly a group protesting Wall Street, and they have never once mentioned him.
No, it’s not capitalism and neither was Madoff. One need look no further than the Chicago Carbon Exchange to see how ridiculous the market has become; the sanctioned trading of carbon credits......fairy dust. Thank goodness that was nixed. Apparently, we haven’t learned anything from credit default swaps.
The beauty of the con is that that we only acknowledge the “other side’s” transgressions. So everybody gets away with it.
