Senator Warren report: Rigged Justice

See the report here. An excerpt showing why the 1% hate her: They are criminals who are above the law and don't want that fact revealed.

"When government regulators and prosecutors fail to pursue big corporations or their executives who violate the law, or when the government lets them off with a slap on the wrist, corporate criminals have free rein to operate outside the law. They can game the system, rip off taxpayers, and even takes actions that result in the death of innocent victims--all with no serious consequences.


"The failure to punish big corporations or their executives when they break the law undermines the foundations of this great country. If justice means a prison sentence for a teenager who steals a car, but it means nothing more than a sideways glance at a CEO who quietly engineers the theft of billions of dollars, then the promise of equal justice under the law has turned into a lie. The failure to prosecute big, visible crimes has a corrosive effect on the fabric of democracy and our shared belief that we are all equal in the eyes of the law."
