Academy Award Winning Documentary Film includes the Quote above from Massachusetts Rep. Mike Capuano (D) at the 1:55 minute mark. It’s fun to replay it repeatedly by clicking that time in the progress bar over and over again. Think of letting bank robbers skip their prison terms because they promise not to do it again. That is a clear comparison between the wealthy and everyone else. He also said to bank executives: “You created CDO’s, you created credit default swaps – that never existed a few years ago. Who was the brilliant person who came and said, ‘Let’s do credit default swaps’ – find him, fire him”
