Are the charges against Goldman Sachs Political?

If you complain that no one's really been held accountable, and then you complain that the SEC is holding Goldman Sachs accountable as "political"... what do you actually want to happen?

How many CEOs do you see in jail over this whole economic mess? How many people do you see charged over what happened? Not many at all. What I want is not a political "play act" to try and drum up support. They need and should have already been holding people criminally responsible for what happened. But those rich and powerful wall street guys not only are allowed to make a mint off of ruining this country...but they rewarded with bail outs and bonuses at our exspense. I don't want a "token" or "tokens" taken down just to "appease" the masses and get support for a bill. I want the people really responsible to get the book thrown at them. I won't hold my breath.

That was an excellent article. I like his suggestions for reform and can see where they would help. •Reinstate and restore the short sale price test regulation known as the uptick rule (to its original condition and not modified). •End mark to market accounting and replace it with book value, historic cost accounting. •Reinstate the "circuit breakers" and the trading curbs to kick in whenever the Dow Jones industrial average drops 150 points to reduce market volatility and massive panic sell-off in order to allow investors time to think before they act. I also think we need a tax structure that encourages long term investment and building a company. I never liked groups that came in and broke up a company and laid off the workers just to show a profit for the quarter. Such as GM did after the bail out to show a profit they cut 60,000+ jobs just to show a quick next quarter profit.
