I don't think rampant greed is confined to a particular political party. it's one of the few things that is truly bi-partisan.

lol..greed is universal. It's part of the human DNA. Corzine needs to be bunk buddies with Madoff.

Am I wrong in imagining that, in your mind, you're presuming the past year of prison has transformed Madoff into a homosexual rapist? Is that the joke you're trying to make here?

/serious question

Weaver95: we're not bailing these people out. we ARE going to tell everyone who loses their money in this debacle that we're starting a petition to re-instate Glass-Steagle and make it a capital offense to steal over a billion from your investors/customers....but they gotta vote Democrat to do it.

Well, for one thing Corzine was a Dem for what that's worth.

But more importantly, I don't think Glass Steagall would have helped here. MF Global wasn't a bank, it was a broker dealer.

I don't see Madoff as a muscle-bound rapist. If anything, he's either (1) the rapee, or (2) the inmate that other inmates go to for advice on setting up convoluted white crime schemes.

PDX wants to compare Corzine to Madoff to make Obama look bad. As Obama hasn't said anything about the police attack on protesters at UC Davis, PDX can say whatever he wants about Obama as far as I'm concerned.

Obama should make him Treasury Secretary.

lol..not at all. Just meant Corzine belongs in jail with Madoff. Actually since you brought it up, I'm inclined to think Madoff would more likely be Corzine's biotch.

If you put them in a cell together, they'd immediately start a scam to fleece us.

Is that why you said voting Democrat would fix it?

Corzine won't face a minute in jail for any of this, he is well connected to both the state and corporate powers that be. If he had any indication he might pay for the bilking of over a billion dollars in investors money he would have been long gone before the bomb went off.

He is a free man. Amazing, if I stole a load of bread and got caught I would do at least a few hours in a cell. This guy oversees the theft of what will eventually total well over two billion US dollars and no one can even be bothered to see where he is these days.

If this isn't painting a clear picture on how the Law in this country applies to the poor only then i'm not sure what is.

give me doughnuts: Too bad there weren't strict SEC controls in place like you campaigned for when you were a senator.

They were already willing to violate account sequestration regulations. Think that more regs is the answer to people who ignore regulations?

Oh. I don't disagree with you either way, it's just that I read your post and was like, "what?"

Funny how the Koch Brothers, who had had billions of dollars with MF Global for literally decades, pulled all their money out of MF Global just days before the collapse.

Must've been a coincidence.

RLY? And you figure that because the vote to repeal the Glass-Steagle Act in 1999 that was signed by a democrat president was a good thing then?

Are you dumb, stupid, delusional or mentally challenged?
