One man steals 3 billion = 3 years in jail. Another man steals 100$ = 15 years in jail

At last someone gets it, the $100 theft was by a career criminal the $3 billion theft was all in a days work for the speculators, ask yourself this why isn't food price speculation banned? how wrong is it to push up the price of food by gambling in the markets - what a world, jail all the bankers.

It's not the justice system it's the laws that your representatives pass. Instead of whining about them you should go have them changed if you don't like them.

That's the point. If you don't like your current representatives, don't vote them anymore.
Think about it next time.

Well of course "THE LAW" isn't the same for bankers as it is for the rest of the world. Why do you think Andrew Jackson's election campaign was based on "NO BANKS". And Jackson's last words were "I killed the bank!" because that was the greatest achievement of his lifetime.
If you think for one minute that the LAW is the same for everyone...just look at the O.J. trail. He had the money to spend on a "good" defense lawyer, and was found "not guilty" by a jury of his "peers". The fact that he was famous had nothing to do with "him getting off the hook" (sarcasm).
Bottom line is if you have the enough money and influence you can do whatever you want and not have to face the consequences...period.
So, I leave you with this clip of George Carlin and Bill Hicks telling you the truth about the world and how it REALLY works...PEACE OUT ATS

America, you need a revolution. This BS cannot continue.

What we need are a few people who can hit center of mass from 400+ yards, and keep their mouths shut forever.
When these criminals realize there will be actual repercussions related to their actions, they will think long and hard about their future actions.
