And because so much money is made for creating nothing, everyone wants to be a banker -- so you end up having less people becoming qualified for the jobs that keep our society functioning.

The problem is that the crooks run the country. These same Wall Street crooks also have high level government jobs and tons of lobbyists who influence the law and policy making of this country.
Here is a stark contrast. In Iceland the crook bankers who pulled off shady and risky deals that help collapse the economy are now being tried and put in jail. In the US they are given billions in bailouts and are now cabinet members, lawmakers and lobbyists and they continue on as if nothing ever happened.
