(13,747 posts)Sir,
I am very, very disapointed that this state's Attorney's General office would roll over so easy for the banksters. 26-billion in fines is a drop in the bucket compared to the profits they made from ripping us off and is a small slap on the wrist. The fact that no one is going to jail is a kick in the teeth to us citizens. If I was to steal a loaf of bread and a package of lunch meat to feed my family I would be draged before the courts and thrown in jail in a heart beat and heaven forbid if I was busted with some pot. More proof that there is a two tier justice system in this country, one for the rich and powerful and one for the little people. I no longer have any faith in the system. I was hoping that you folks would stand tough against the banksters. When the Savings & loan scandel of the 1980's went down many of the crooks went to jail. I'm so pissed I could spit nails. You folks go out tonight and have some drinks and celebrate and pat each other on the back, us little people will continue to shake our heads and wonder why.
Sincerely,
Steven Hoelter
