Still wanting outrage

I'm guessing that the people who engineered, executed, and profited from the financial mess we're in are not unemployed. I suspect most of them are living fairly large. Meanwhile unemployment is climbing, retirees have lost their pensions, former homeowners are displaced, businesses are closing. Let's start naming names people. Who are some of the actual individual people who profited from scandalous financing? What gym do they work out at? What restaurants do they eat at? Let's find them, and wag our fingers at them and holler shame shame shame. They should not be allowed to enjoy a penny of that money. If they are not working at a soup kitchen (metaphorically or literally), then they should have no peace anywhere they go. They financially raped us, and there's this trend going on where the victim is getting blamed. The people who took out a mortgage they couldn't repay are not to blame. It's the people in the financial industry that lobbied to create lax rules, and lied and cheated so they could collect the fees on those loans and create an illusion of wealth in an elaborate ponzi scheme, they are to blame. Let us shame them at every opportunity. Bring the brunt of the court of public opinion to bear upon them.
