Just read this and it hit a cord. Judicial behavoir aside, I do think there is a lack of political will to prosecute individuals who were very aware that they were harming people.

I'm a free market supporter and you can accuse me of even being a Supply-Sider. I think it is fraudulent for unions to engage in collective bargaining with elected officials, or people appointed by elected officials. On the other side of the coin, I also think that corporations should not be as shielded as they are. One would think after Enron and SOX, there would be a greater awareness of accountability, but perhaps it is just human nature. I'm disappointed in the government not prosecuting people who are reckless with individual's wealth as well as the overall health of the economy. I know it is not popular with many, but I think it is time the pendulum swings and grants more power to the individual (not union) to even the playing field with corporations.

I think we need to prosecute those who knowingly engaged in fraudulent activities, stop wasting taxpayers money with governments engaging in collective bargaining, and address employees rights (ie reviewing at will employment)
