The bankers weren't alone in their greed. All those morons following crackpots like Suze Orman had to be paid, too. Hell, people were enabling this behavior and continue to do so. It's not like they lined their pockets with Monopoly money. If we want to stop it, we have to stop giving them the money to fuck us. Everybody gets pissed about the bailouts yet fail to see how they helped make this shit happen. The Great Depression, the Dot Com bubble, the recent crash all have something in common: ordinary people who give these people the capital to fuck up the markets.
