If he was really on the opposite side of the spectrum, we would have already seen criminal prosecutions of numerous high-level executives. Plenty of other examples, but there ya go.

And yeah, you can't totally blame Bush or any other president. Clinton signed the piece of paper that repealed Glass-Steagall (under huge pressure from the banks).

This stuff is above politics. The US has been being whored out in a bipartisan fashion for 35 years.
