[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 921701, member: 22662"] I would like to believe that it is the fault of restraints on capitalism, but that would mean we would have to assume certain things. Like corporations would not polute the air and water because it would affect our lives as citizens. It would mean that safety and responsibility would be paramount. That they would be quick to realize the need to support the communities that they inhabit. It would shifting from efficiency dictated by the bottom line to quality of life of it's workers and communities as well as wealth. How do we look at the BP oil spill and believe that without regulation, all would be fine? Are we to take seriously that without regulation banks would simply do "what is right"? Greenspan seemed visibly shocked that the financial industry had acted so ridiculously. I wasn't. As long as capitalism as practiced in the US focuses so sharply on Wall Street and the bottom line, government has no choice but to restrain it. Sadly it seems, Wall Street needs to be saved from itself. [/QUOTE]
