It is the corrupt regulators and legislators who create the opportunities for corruption.

So I say, if you're going to occupy something, go occupy DC, not Wall Street.

People who bribe government officials are "simply taking care of themselves"? Breaking the law is simply taking care of yourself? I don't understand this very strained logic.
