The biggest mistake we made after the last financial crisis was not putting heads on pikes. Justice should be far more punishing if it's ever going to threaten white collar criminals.

I'm not holding my breath, but I hope current political extremism breeds actual consequences for the wealthy elite this time around.

Absolutely, we told the wealthy to gamble recklessly and they'll get bailed out, then printed money for them to do it. When we turned off the money printer, they got big mad and now we'll all pay for it.

Thanks Bush Jr!
