Why isn't Wall Street in jail?

Why aren't Rush Limbaugh and FOX media people in jail? Radicals probably wonder why. That pesky US Constitution keeps getting in the way of the liberal/socialist agenda.

I'm curious what you would call the "Fox" agenda. Anti gay. Anti woman's rights. Since Obama became president, Republicans have offered 42 Amendments to the constitution (don't make me link that again) so they obviously want to change it. The owner of Fox is Australian and the second largest stockholder is an Arabian Prince who thought the terrorists the brought down the WTC were "heroes". And, they sued for the "right to lie" and won.

Why does the right wing think this network has the best interests of the country in mind? Is the right that gullible? They did believe Obama took a trip costing 200 million dollars a day and Acorn changed a national election, so I guess they are.

I think lefties dream about a day when they can "put people in jail" at will. If the left had their way they would close down every source of information they deem to be subversive and they would jail every slimy capitalist they could get their hands on. Elections would be "monitored" by the new black panther party and the stodgy old Constitution would be replaced with a more flexible document. Think I'm exaggerating? Look at some of the left wing posts.

LOL.... How do you dress yourself in the morning, scared little con?

Over drinks at a bar on a dreary, snowy night in Washington this past month, a former Senate investigator laughed as he polished off his beer.

"Everything's fucked up, and nobody goes to jail," he said. "That's your whole story right there. Hell, you don't even have to write the rest of it. Just write that."

I put down my notebook. "Just that?"

"That's right," he said, signaling to the waitress for the check. "Everything's fucked up, and nobody goes to jail. You can end the piece right there."

Nobody goes to jail. This is the mantra of the financial-crisis era, one that saw virtually every major bank and financial company on Wall Street embroiled in obscene criminal scandals that impoverished millions and collectively destroyed hundreds of billions, in fact, trillions of dollars of the world's wealth — and nobody went to jail. Nobody, that is, except Bernie Madoff, a flamboyant and pathological celebrity con artist, whose victims happened to be other rich and famous people.

You are right -our own government is at the core of it all and those in government most guilty didn't just encourage it with US law but are also guilty of PUSHING it -and are now the ones most loudly insisting Wall Street execs are "evil" and portraying them as enemies of the state. If they are evil enemies of the state -what does that say about our own politicians who are the real root of the problem in the first place? No one is in jail because the most guilty are the ones in government busiest pointing fingers anywhere else but at themselves. It makes me sick listening to these politicians try to deny their own involvement in it all. And NOW using it as justification for the demands to give government an even BIGGER role and as evidence that it requires giving government GREATER regulatory involvement in the private sector. And saps who want to believe Wall Street just upped and did this without the ACTIVE participation, encouragement and even PRESSURE from our own government who actually encouraged it as part of their social engineering experiment -want to blindly give power hungry politicians ever more power so they can fuck things up even more.

Here it is. Enjoy.

Freddie and Fannie had almost nothing to do with the economic crisis. Same with the CRA. In fact..this little witch hunt probably had a hand in excaserbating the situation over a million fold.

As the many people here have pointed out so far, you cannot jail a street. So, again, I ask define Wall Street. Define it as the subject in the OP.

You can jail John Thane.

A guy I use to work for.

You could but that is not what the OP said, was it? No, people are going on this tirade that wall street needs punishment but the problem here is that it is just outrage that flows to the nearest target. It reminds me of witch burning, the people don’t care who needs to be punished and they just want some whooping. It is bullshit. There is no Wall Street that deserves jailing. That would involve tons of people 90% of which are innocent. But that does not stop the people here demanding why they are not in jail. We need justice for those that committed illegal acts and that process is slow. That is particularly true when most of these acts were legal in the first place. No matter how bad they were, we are a nation of law and if there was no law broken no one should go to jail. There are many people that did break laws and as some have pointed out, they are in the process of tracking them down and jailing those that rae guilty.

Now, it there is a call for more inquiries and investigations I am all for it. These calls to satiate bloodlust with all bankers is bullshit.

This post basically demonstrates you have little or no understanding of what on. I don't blame you, actually..it was a very complex scheme..and very hard to understand. I don't get a lot of it..and I work on wall street.

Nothing is probably going to happen. Why? Because it would be a disaster.

Really? The fact that I don’t call for mass arresting of ‘Wall Street” means I have no understanding. Perhaps you are just a moron.

Could be rabbit.

But I am not the one retorting with insults.

I answered your questions. At the very least you should thank me. It gives you a point where to start some research to come up with your own conclusions. I know..it's sort of tough..it brings in to question business ethics..a very thorny issue..considering Conservatives feel that greed should trump all.

Which basically shows you have no manners. I will take a moron over a person with no manners any day of the week.
