It was helped along by the regulators ignoring the blatant illegal actions of the few and powerful.
This is exactly what I was saying regarding the SEC in an earlier post. The SEC is but one example. Our govt. is rife with regulatory bodies who are 2 cozy with the industries they are supposed to oversee. If people can't see this then there isn't a whole lot I else I can say.
I found this insulting to a great deal of the people in this country and have brought this to the attention of the Mods to be closed.
What did you find insulting? Forgive me, I've been out of town for a week so I haven't been around to witness all the drama. Please don't close the thread. I thought we were just having a healthy debate.
