Meanwhile, we still await any serious criminal charges against those responsible for the crash of 2008. Remember kids, if you're going to defraud, think big. That way, not only will you get away with it, you'll attract millions in government subsidies and bonuses from your own crooked employers.
For the 2008 debacle the VP took a jury trial. He's the only one that's been convicted.
At least in the S & L crisis they actually took down something like 3,500 people.
And there's a political push to let out the main criminal in the Enron case.
Made a lot of "elites" a lot of money while destroying average incomes.

Why is the government entitled to a companies money when they are located overseas?
I do not pay sales tax on out of state purchases for instance.
Some of the poorest counties of America that are largely white (in southeastern Kentucky) go about 80-20 Republican. Welfare is big there. The typical practice is to buy 24-packs of Pepsi with food stamps and sell them for cash, non-food objects, and vice.
