I believe I saw this on netflix Now I know I have to watch it! Its a shame how greed will one day ruin this beautiful world
Where is Barny Frank and congress, who forced banks to accept high risk loans from poor minorities. Without even mentioning the CRA, this program comes off as far left, anit-capitalistic propaganda. The government caused the crisis by facilitating and regulating this disaster. Had the government not funded mortgages through Fannie Mae and the CRA, the banks would not have given mortgages to illegal aliens and poverty ridden blacks.
Foreign investors bought into the scam because the US government was underwriting much of these mortgages. Maxine Waters and Frank were leading this lunatic government-sponsored mess – and now they just point their fingers at Wall Street. No bank would have lent money to an illegal alien, had the government not been involved in this fiasco.
Yes there is, try refreshing the webpage.
The "guilty" and greedy bankers and corporations! will not likely want to watch this. No sire, they would love this ALL to just go away, so they do it all of again.
It really is so true, the big unanswered question, …"why hasn't any of these ppl NOT been put in jail already ?!"
Wall street is just a Gigantic "illegal" Las Vegas without the lights.
Las Vegas is at least up-front and legitimate with what they do, for the simple fact that they and you know very well that you're gambling.
But Wall street, does it to millions of people daily, world-wide hiding behind our so-called institutions such as "Banks", and "Investment Companies"
Regulation against their thievery is a Gov't Duty !
It's high time this world re-thinks what "Capitalism" should be, and/or shouldn't be.
The world needs a total revamp of its whole financial system. Starts with the current monetary system. Abolish and make central banking illegitimate, stop corporate interest of government. People need to start to be more self-sufficient and also individually dependable and stop depending on the government for giveaways and must learn to depend on family members and their local community to work together.
This film is a warning that an awakening is at hand. Exactly how did the world lead to this mess. When will we realize all of us were being dupped by those greedy bankers and corporations!
Video fixed!
