You’re looking at the wrong group of criminals. Do you think the banking crisis would have occurred if federal govt interference/regulation had not forced them into those positions?
I don't agree. You don't do bad things just because you think you can get away with it, because a regulator is not there to stop you. By that way of thinking, it is ok to rob a bank as long as you are sure you will not get caught. The bankers robbed the world (and come to think of it, they got caught and are getting bonuses, not jail time).
If we can't respond to this blatant corruption, others will. OWS is a much worse response to it than harse penalties by the normal systems of justice.
