I guess I can take a run at being more specific....sorry if I'm not clear enough, doing this in-between operations at work.

If I can find documentation of individuals in the 1% gaming the system to screw the 99%, he won't be able to say it's just my opinion.

I found this one

http://money.msn.com/investing/latest.aspx?post=0844157f-5e1d-4785-a57a-3fce887ef3e1

and it's a pretty good example; I just need more and I was hoping you good folks here would have a good assortment of them.

The Bill Moyers link is an excellent idea, I just want to get all I can before I go back to the fray.

I hope it's a bit clearer now, if not please accept my apology.
