www.democracyno... - Award-winning journalist Matt Taibbi is out with an explosive new book that asks why the vast majority of white-collar criminals have avoided prison since the financial crisis began, while an unequal justice system imprisons the poor and people of color on a mass scale. In "The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap," Taibbi explores how the Depression-level income gap between the wealthy and the poor is mirrored by a "justice" gap in who is targeted for prosecution and imprisonment. "It is much more grotesque to consider the non-enforcement of white-collar criminals when you do consider how incredibly aggressive law enforcement is with regard to everybody else," Taibbi says.

As much as we need intelligent, charismatic journalists. .. Matt Taibbi needs to begin involved in policy as well as legislation... Twice the handle on domestic issues that the majority of of elected officials have... Can you imagine Taibbi debating Rubio , Cruz, Bush or Paul??

Matt, Naked Swindle…….loved that article. Can you discuss the evidence in the movie The Wall Street Conspiracy. How on earth is that movie not all over TV.

I wonder if we are going to get any of the money back from this fraud? Probably not. Fraud is fraud, regardless of whether this was a small or large banking institution.
