SEE, THE PROBLEM WITH JUST MAKING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS IS ITS LIKE HAVING A SQUIRT GUN IN YOUR POCKET...

EVENTUALLY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TO CALL PEOPLE AND REMIND THEM YOU MADE THEM YOU COUGHED UP A LOT OF DOUGH TO KEEP THEM IN OFFICE, MUCH LIKE YOU'D HAVE TO PULL THE SQUIRT GUN OUT AND USE IT...

BUT, IF YOU HAVE THE SENATORS THEMSELVES IN YOUR POCKET, IT'S LIKE HAVING A BAZOOKA... NOBODY'S GONNA TEST YOU...

DOPES!!!!

Face it - none of these guys are going to prison.

CEOs run companies into the ground all the time, and usually not only do they NOT go to jail, they get a huge golden parachute.

I'm not saying that these guys shouldn't go to jail, just that it's really wishful thinking if you expect it to happen.

If anyone should go to jail over this thing, it's the politicians who are stealing taxpayer money to bail out their banking buddies right now. In other words, the whole damn Congress (except for 2 or 3 honest people). Talk about corruption.

I think CB has nailed it. Rich people in America own the government, and they are above the law.

Add that to GE's CEO saying just weeks before their earnings tanked: "good earnings are in the bag".
