In reply to the discussion: Taibbi: Everything Is Rigged: The Biggest Price-Fixing Scandal Ever (WOW!) [View all]cilla4progress
(24,875 posts)After overhearing a conversation between my attorney and a client. A personal observation, from the trenches, that I think relates to the OP, at least indirectly:
I work in a law firm. We represent the little guy and gal against the big banks and corporations. I am seeing more and more often, where parties are unwilling to work together, compromise, give and take; or are downright dishonest, not disclosing information they are required to; or out-and-out violating court orders. It is my contention and belief that people are acting this way because they see our national Congress and certain politicians and media outlets acting this way. They also see the wealthiest getting away with their actions in the financial world. So the behavior of Congress and those at the top income-wise has far-reaching implications and effects on the behavior and expectations of the rest of society. - Cilla
I got many positive responses.
