which is why banks and wall street continue for years to go unregulated and continuously bailed out ($83 billion last year, same $$$ as they're slashing social programs for the poor under the scam "sequester", which means it's actually "austerity" as seen in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy...).

This is what happens when you stand up and peacefully petition your government for Change regarding income inequality and bank/wall street regulation. Please let this sink in:
