Who Goes to Jail…? Not the bankers and the upper class

DN! has an important show up today on who is going to jail…and who isn’t.  Matt Taibbi has written a book about the have-nots being jailed many more times over than the haves…and why.

He speaks about a judicial system that is more than happy to jail the poor…but the wealthy criminals are treated as “good people” who have a little trouble that can be worked out.

Again, the antitrust issue comes up as the too-big-to-fails are allowed to get away with their crimes because of all the innocent people they would take down with them.

I can’t recall exactly what happened, but I do remember that in the 80s, Bayer Corporation was caught in an intentional crime— it was the start of allowing corporations to get away with crimes and not really face penalties including being put out of business…
