Wall Street

Leaving aside the fact that the 2008 crash ruined hundreds of millions of lives all around the world, the burning insult to the American Public was that the bank bailout funds were not matched with criminal prosecutions of the principal offenders. Hell, the Dubya administration jailed people from Enron and Worldcom, even though both 'generously' supported the Bush campaign.

Hillary Clinton of course had no direct involvement with the failure to prosecute, and as we know, Wall Street's greatest critic, Elizabeth Warren, refused to run against her.

Anyway, here's something I posted in GD. If Wall Street crashes again anytime soon, this will be a Bernie vs Trump election

Trump: We're going to tax Wall Street
Bloomberg

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump pledged to "tax Wall Street" as he sought to use a severe stock market selloff to plant new seeds of fear among voters during a campaign rally Saturday in Ottumwa, Iowa. ...

"There's a bubble," Trump told his audience in southeastern Iowa, noting the nation's high level of debt. "You see the stock market is starting to, you know, see what's going on," he said. "It's starting to have some very bad weeks and some very bad numbers." ...

"I know Wall Street. I know the people on Wall Street. We're going to have the greatest negotiators of the world, but at the same time I'm not going to let Wall Street get away with murder. Wall Street has caused tremendous problems for us. We're going to tax Wall Street."

Trump also highlighted his independence from campaign contributions. "I don't care about the Wall Street guys," he said. "I'm not taking any of their money."
