Whether you like it or not, we have, and will have, a market economy. That will not go away over night. You may sit there and wish ill on everyone and everything associated with "Wall Street," but many Democrats, such as myslf, have our entire life savings in investments of various kinds. While I want wrong-doers held accountable, I do not want some revenge-focused assault on the core of our finance system. Most people have no idea how very damaging that would be to every day Americans. The same with the Tea Party morons who wanted to let Detroit go under... they have no idea what that would have meant.

This is a failing of populism, IMO. The world is way more complicated than that.
