I agree that this SHOULD happen, but often doesn't.  Look at the massive outrages that lead to the 2008 meltdown, yet no one went to jail except one small sacrificial lamb.  Timothy Geithner even noted that throwing Jaime Diamond in jail would only make the demands for more heads louder, so it was best to do nothing.  I fully fault Geithner for that and, as his boss, Obama as well.  The perp walks should have been a daily affair for weeks if not months.  We needed to know that someone was watching and gave a damn.  But we live in a world of wealth and privilege.  Thinking otherwise is naïve.

Well, the meltdown would have ended in mass destruction, chaos, a crippled government that was followed by a major depression of like we have ever seen during our history as a nation and the history of the world in general. Yes, it's best to shut up, let go of silly ideological beliefs and economic theories associated with failures of foreign regimes and college beliefs and go along with the views of true experts associated with the economic system that you're associated with directly and you have been directly associated with for your entire adult life (Like Queen Nancy and blue  Messiah Barrack Obama) when you understand that bulk of your wealth is also on the line, you understand that your future lively and the  future lively hood of your family members or political future/ careers are on the line and you understand that your life and the lives of your loved ones could at risk and be placed on line too. You don't think Queen Nancy loves her wealth and privilege. You don't think the Hollywood movie stars and musical artists love theirs too. You don't think the blue internet Robber Barons love theirs too. You don't think Obama loves his too. If you don't think so and don't believe that any of them are associated with them then you're a fool should continue voting the way you do instead of voting the way you should that keeps them in power.
