4. jail is for the little people.
They don't commit crimes they just make mistakes and at most have to pay back some of the money they steal.
But we could make them afraid if we start calling it what it is...a crime.

5. 5 Letters That Lead To Your 4...
A U D I T. If a company is too big to fail and either goes bankrupt or comes begging for government money, their books need to be cracked wide open to show all why there's the need and whose responsible for the losses. Methinks that if we had a real look at the numbers, the outrage would be far far louder.

Cheers...

6. Yeah, right..
Why fear that which is as likely as getting hit by lighting while in an underground bunker?

The politicians have no intentions of punishing the CEOs in any significant manner, they know that they might be next if that kind of thing starts happening.

8. And the 3 letter word they loath.
Tax! and don't just stop with these AIG bonuses. Over compensation for executives of major corporations has long been an outrage. It's time to come up with a plan to address this abuse once and for all.
