The famous saying is "The law, in its magnanimous equanimity, forbids the rich as well as the poor from stealing bread and sleeping under bridges." We just keep going through the same old cycles.

no surprise there laker. but it's not the large banks or wall street that did this to people, it's their fault for not reading. If people would stay within their means than everything would be fine. I mean it's that simple. Why else do you think the irs can spend so much time and effort going after one man but never bust large banks. I mean the larger one is wouldn't it be easier to find dirt on? yeah it would but it's not worth going after... funny huh.

But Squirrel, without the rich to make the money-----how will the rest of us be able to scrounge for the "trickle down" leftovers?

Just something to add here. History has shown continuously, in ancient civilizations to modern nations, that the only thing increasing taxes on the rich in order to redistribute wealth does is force the rich to get better at avoiding taxation. A recent example of this was back around 2008 when a tax investigation into a wealthy Athens suburb where only a couple hundred households reported having a swimming pool. Satellite images of this neighborhood revealed that over 1,500 households had swimming pools and that most had lied on their taxes in order to save money and further shows that a lot of construction was getting paid for under the table, further avoiding taxes.
