It is really scandalous and is hurting people not only in the U.S., but everywhere.

These big banks are like a group of giant leeches sucking the blood from our economy.

I've tried to talk to people, too, but their eyes really glaze over.

Maybe a film like "Wallstreet" or the HBO series "Barbarians at the Gate" done from a Bill Black perspective would be more interesting and informative for manyu people.

Someone in the film industry must be trying to put something together.

Guess these people will have to smoke pot for any prison time. Fuckers. MichiganVote Aug 2012 #1
