A NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 5 years after the crash, Americans still distrust and dislike Wall Street. Who can blame them?
There have been no real consequences to those who caused so much suffering around the world. They are, for the most part, still in positions of power and still extremely wealthy. Wall Street is basically completely disconnected from Main Street, saying that they need cushy treatment so that they can loan businesses money even as they don’t loan nearly enough money to businesses. The 1% have gained much, everybody else not so much. Where do the 1% get almost all of their money? Wall Street, of course.
