Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (frequently abbreviated SEC) is a federal agency which holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry, the nation's stock and options exchanges, and other electronic securities markets in the United States.

The suggestion that the "federal agency which holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry" is in any manner complicit with the vicious greed of big fat corporate interests is just Tea Bagger fairy tale spinning. Right Wotak? BigDinWaunakee? Crapalicious? Right?

We need a Securities and Exchange Commission Commission.

Duh.

I really like Matt Taibbi. His book Griftopia is an excellent read. He has a great sense of humor and loves to talk meep. I highly recommend the book.

The SEC covers up Wall St. crimes like cops cover up other cops' crimes.

Wellll...not so much cover up as obstruct investigation, shift blame, assassinate the character of/intimidate witnesses, etc, etc.

Loki, of COURSE they're complicit, but unless you're game for a violent revolution, you better get used to using changing things from inside the system. Basically, grow the meep up you ranting KOOK.

Crapalicious: Loki, of COURSE they're complicit, but unless you're game for a violent revolution, you better get used to using changing things from inside the system. Basically, grow the meep up you ranting KOOK.

Ah. The predictable false dilemma trotted out by every petty dictator and their apologists; "'Violent revolution' is the ONLY way to dismantle this monument to injustice we've created to exploit you--So risk destroying EVERYTHING, or just suck it up."

You sad, retarded, statist meep.

So, you agree with me then that the system can and should be fixed from inside then? Might I ask how?

Crapalicious: "So, you agree with me then that the system can and should be fixed from inside then?"

Crapalicious: "Might I ask how?"

Any truly beneficial reform will first require a change in the climate of ideas. For instance, the idea that the only alternative to injustices distributed by corporate institutions is injustices distributed by government institutions. You know, your retarded Red/Blue, Democrat/Republican, Conservative/Liberal, Socialist/Fascist paradigm.

You work to maintain the hope of mastery over your fellows through spot-lighting what's best for society, while dismissing positions from whats best for persons as the juvenile rantings of kooks.

Confirmed statists, like yourself, deny the logical necessity of that which advances the welfare of individual persons in a society necessarily advances society. You maintain the hope that you might one day hold the keys of human bondage, and the whip that punishes human beings in the interest of "the greater good of society"--at the expense of the good of those being punished, or in bondage.

These keys and whips however, are provided by the sadly dis-informed victims of injustice through the fraud perpetrated by those who seek mastery over them... the fraud is the premise that "Your Master Knows What's Best For You, And All Humanity." Whether that Master is a god, or a king, or "the common good"--whatever that master is, it must posses complete mastery over human activity and it cannot ever be you.

So, like I said, the first requirement will be a change in the climate of ideas; a paradigm shift from the (currently held) rule by greater authority, to one of self-determinant self-governance. A paradigm where the benefit of the human beings in a society is the primary end of society, rather than the benefit of society being the end--with human beings as the merely the means to that end.

don't look down

ZINGER>>> You sad, retarded, statist meep.

Loki, please call your parole officer, then the unemployment hotline. You know you are either doing that now or destined for these realities.
