Yes they should be held accountable especially the big banks and the
Federal Reserve which is beholden to those same big banks. We have to start throwing these criminals in jail like Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan.

I think that the best solution to the problem is two-fold.

First, get rid of all taxes on corporations and businesses. Only make them pay a small VAT when they make transactions along the the production chain.

Second, don't let corporations and businesses donate company money to candidates or political committees.

How do you figure "the workers" deserve anything more than they are contracted to earn?

Have you ever heard of stockholders? You know, those people who invest in companies and help provide capital for their operations. Those people like teachers, firefighters, granparents who have put their savings toward retirement into these companies.... You think they have no claims do you?

Please link these so call "exploitations" of employees.

Do you not think the people in corporations actually work too?
