The notion that Wall Street keeps its gravy train rolling by lining the pockets of our top-tier politicians with money and influence-peddling in order to condone the financiers’ actions is quite disturbing. In addition, the bankers’ claims per the paramount importance of their work as an excuse to enable them to get away with whatever they deem appropriate for themselves (e.g., American tax-payer financed bonuses, etc.) is also disturbing as it smacks of greed and self-centered conceit. In any case, this behaviour on their part is hardly distinguishable from the corruption going on south of the border, with the drug cartel kingpins playing the roll of corrupters and manipulators (albeit in a more forceful manner). But as long as big money talks and remains the primary influence driver in the current socio-political-cultural climate, then people will apparently continue to walk in the direction deemed appropriate by the big money purveyors.
