The issue is that if those certain few failed, then others would fail, and then more would fail, and then investors wouldn't want to risk their money and more would fail, then workers would get let go and stop spending causing more to fail, housing prices would continue to tumble because there is no demand...

And who are we going to vote for that would put some laws on the books and punish Wall Street? The Tea Party should be a far left wing party if they really want to fix this country.
