Merkel: Those who caused the crisis must help pay for it (1st Lead)

'But we also believe that those who caused this damage must also make their contribution'

Fraud is a criminal activity that can easily include jail time.

Plenty of fraudster go to jail every year. Con artists conning old ladies out of life savings, Nigerian email scams, etc. etc.

There is no reason why the financial elite can not serve our country with jail time while their assets are frozen and recovered for the good of the nation.

All we need are federal prosecutors with some back bone.

But, all we have is a wimp of a president that cries at the first sight of trouble, and sends OTHER people to their death in war.

SOCIALISM....................Oct 5th, 2008 - 07:25:37

Is the way to go!!!!

More enterprises must be nationalized and we need more government bailouts.

Capitalism' short run in history is over. Thank goodness.

The end of greed, lobbying, corruption and out right thievery.

CEO's must be sentenced to long jail terms and all their properties taken away.
