Well, the illustration is a definite exaggeration, they would never let that much trickle away.

Apparently, it's a good time to be a lawyer over at JPs though.

JP Morgan is spending more on fines and lawyers than on employee salaries

Maybe if they paid and listened to their lowlife employees, they wouldn't be in this predicament?

Maybe if their bribe-takers didn't consider them too big to jail, we'd have a quite different scenario to critique, yeah?

Let me know when there's a World court and prison system to deal with the international libe(R)tarian's systematic destruction of legitimate governments the world over.

This was really never an issue exclusive to the US, or any single nation anywhere.

A rather honest appraisal of world investment issues.

You mean where they fiegn innocence???

"The fact is businesses in Australia and other industrialised economies are not the drivers of corruption"

What that statement says, is there no bribery in western "business".

I don't find that statement very honest at all.

Look into who owns that newspaper, and you'll see my tongue firmly in cheek with that comment.

Lots of doublespeak, and yes, I read the article.

Well, they let Skilling and DeLay out, but they gave the black guy (Kilpatrick) 28 years.

The very real part of the above offenders, is the simple fact that NOT ONE of them paid their own fine.

Their investments paid it, and they took it out on the workers at the companies they "own".

Kind of like how they forgot about sedition?

I suppose that's why they bought the courts first, starting in the States.

Important to note as well is the quote.

"We’re not controlling the shutdown"

If not? Why did they spend such copious amounts of money to make it so?

Of course they aren't, but they damn sure played a BIG role in making it happen.

Perhaps if they were to address questions about how they would feel about HUGE tax increases for the 1%, we would hear the reality of their vehemence for the 99%.

It's just a few steps down from giving the dog a bone.
