In America citzens consistently have been victimized because of many scams initiated primarily by rich white men who were greedy. Junk bonds, mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, and derivatives are all done by legalized gamblers who were primarily white, better known as stockbrokers in the main casino on Wall Street. These people have stolen trillions of dolars and have ruined milions of lives. Yet we post loads of vitriol about the penny ante street thief who takes a necklace or robs a few hundred dollars from the 7-Eleven. Maybe it’s time to stop talking about these guys and start taking about harsher punishment for white colar criminals that can take down an entire country like they did in 2007, who destroy lives by robbing people of their life savings.
