And I actually gave him kudos on that in my first post (as the senior poster I respect). I do agree with that more than anything else.
But that means more than anything we need to get out there. We're not talking about Wall Street, or Bay Street here, we're exercising democracy, and giving a voice to those that don't get to spend lots of money. All we're simply saying is, don't forget about us, and lets not go the way of these other failed systems. Keep an eye on the lobbies, keep an eye on the subsidies and loop holes for billion dollar companies, keep an eye on the corrupt politicians.
As a P.S., while I do agree the regulators are most at fault, some blame has to lie with the banks and corporations. There is a difference between running a responsible business and being an outright gambler or speculator. There are dozens of people on this very site who would lose their business if they behaved the way these big banks did. There are dozens of people here who run business who make money, while giving or adding to the community, and not stripping from it.
