Unless I'm seriously misreading this article, didn't Wall Street basically just take the vast majority of US taxpayers hostage, then threaten to crash the economy into the World Trade Center ground unless they got their bonuses?

Since I'm too inarticulate to deal with this at length for the moment, and I'm really working on a post about Greg Gutfeld and his gang of gutless groupies, go read Melissa McEwan and Hilzoy.
