The new Michael Moore movie -- http://WallStreetMafia.com -- is going to bring even more focus on the Boss of the Wall Street Mafia.  Not that anything bad will happen to the him, unless you consider helping the Boss make more money bad!

Why do we, in the USA, let this happen?  Why?  What can we do?  We can start by standing up for others, not our friends and family, not the people who can do anything for our careers or desires, but for the weakest and most vulnerable among us.  Also by communicating with our elected officials, and by taking it to the streets.  And, of course, by giving what we can to whom we can, even if it's not much, even if it's just a smile or acknowledgment.
