The government uses the Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) laws to break up outlaw biker gangs, organized illicit drug organizations, and organized crime, among others.
Why can't or won't the Powers that Be use RICO against the Wall Street scammers that benefitted greatly while practically bringing our entire economy and way of life down the toilet?Perhaps this is a rhetorical question, since our government is bought and paid for bycorporate lobbyists. If RICO were used, I'm sure many government officials would likewise be complicit. Also, I have two suggestions about how to possibly save our economy, both of which may or may not be feasible or possible: One, delink the stock market from the rest of the economy. That way, if the stock market crashed it would be business as usual for American workers. Although investors and retirees may suffer. Two,
get out of the 'World Economy' As Soon As Possible. Word is, if Greece or other European powers go bankrupt, our economy will suffer as well. If we stopped these foolish "Free Trade" agreements, we would likely retain more American jobs in this country. With Free Trade, those at the top benefit, while those at the bottom lose out on jobs with a wage they can thrive on. (tbc?)
