Wall Street criminals and the government have a revolving door relationship that enriches everyone involved. There will be no prosecutions. The corruption is too big, too deep, and too lucrative to end. The freak show that was Occupy only served to make Wall Street and bankers in Washington look sane and patriotic by comparison. Obama and Congressional Democrats cheered on and manipulated the rabble of Occupy, hoping to energize the kook and youth vote, but they never intended to close any financial doors in their future, or hurt the people who will make them filthy rich.

As I've pointed out before, there are actually some threads of commonality between OWS and TEA Party movements. Where they diverge is taking their complaints to the logical conclusions - OWS failed to do that, and so rail at a specific symptom, while ignoring (and even encouraging, via their preferred "solutions") the unhealthy conflation of the government with major financial institutions.

Well, there was Bernie Madoff.

I blame Bush for his prosecution.
