It's all big bad business. Well, who's job is it to regulate business? Corp execs are only doing precisely what is rational for them to do - maximize their wealth - in a crappy rigged system that our government has created, defended, and now pretends to "correct." This meltdown has been caused by failure of the government to understand its role in capital markets - creating an open, even playing field with lots of buyers and sellers, and definable and protected ownership rights. We don't have that. We have government sanctioned oligopolies that pay off their own regulators, and massive dilution of shareholder and creditor rights. Way to go, Uncle Sam.
