Well, many people will accept anything they see on TV as fact. They've been spoon fed that big business is evil and Congress is the almighty savior. Forget the fact Congress played a HUGE role in the mess we're in now...but, of course great magazines like Time failed to put anyone from Congress (or Congress itself) in it's list of top 25 to blame for the economic crisis. Funny how that happens.

Which underscores just how piss-poor Wall Street is.
Interesting that absent stealing a trillion dollars from taxpayers, free-market capitalism only outlasted the old Soviet empire by twenty years.
