The pure and simple greed of several people operating unrestrained in a capitalist economy can cost people billions and billions of dollars, thousands and thousands of people their jobs (and maybe houses, kids educations, etc.) and you say that's evidence of the free market economy and capitalism working?

Capitalism works. And it needs to be protected from simple greed, as do investors and employees. I wonder why that's so hard to see if one reads the headlines. Not the stories, just he headlines.

Then, the death penalty. Beats the hell out of me how that got in there.

No one seems to be looking for ways to exonerate the people already executed. You say there are none. I wonder what the odds of that are?

Capitalism is good. Greed isn't.

There are seven deadly sins, according to a lot of people. We use laws to protect us from others practicing many of them. Lust and greed are a couple of them. So that everyone can be safe.
