Legal because their lobbyists have inserted loopholes.

The law may not pass the smell test. But Once it is law, it is legal! No matter how offensive.

Here's a great one: The owners of the LA Dodgers made over $100 million dollars over 4 years, and paid no taxes. No taxes. No taxes.

Wall Street and the Bankers MUST be held accountable for their actions that led to the financial meltdows. And that includes banks overseas that gleefully took part. Sanctions for them. The financial moguls must be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. And Congressional Lobbying (read bribery) must be made illegal.

Make Corporations Responsible for Communities at large... they need to be responsible actors in this game - they need to be forced to change ...

Read Neale Walsh ... says it perfectly ... any corporation - all employee salaries are visible - each knows what each is making... cap the salary level where above this any profits get cut - percentage to the work force... percentages to management - they get paid more for a reason and are not hourly for a reason- they are paid high enough already to make the hard decisions... workers making the product, workers keeping the quality high and making management happy deserve the biggest bang... now once you have that you take another percentage and GIVE to programs - GIVE to charity ... you make your American Corporations RESPONSIBLE - put this into legislation -

CHANGE EXISTING Legislation - we need to see Banking Regs change - we need to change the SEC rules and regs... we need to change the way corporations are allowed to do business. THEY MUST be made into responsible bodies that support their communities... Make Corps Responsible to the Communities at large...

If it is legal then it is not a crime.
