Very true. Even when they break the rules and get caught they are not penalized as they should be. The Enron fiasco shows what they can get away with.
This so called "Free Market" is not free. It costs money. The people who pay are the tax payers, pension holders and house buyers. This $700 billion bale out is not coming out of GWB's pocket, it's coming out of normal Americans pockets. Sadly Obama will be in power when it needs to be collected. Will America remember who created the debt?
