While the points made by these gentlemen are both valid and critically important, they fail to take note of four other dangerous subsidies: (1) the market perception that the Washington and Wall Street revolving door has rendered these firms immune from prosecution — even for repeated,

behavior; (2) the ability to spend billions buying back their own stock, effectively propping up their own share price and bad
behavior; (3) self - regulation with compromised bodies creating the market perception and reality of a competitive edge; and (4) Congress and the Supreme Court
tolerating Wall Street running its own private justice system (mandatory arbitration) where corrupt acts are kept hidden from public view until they blow up into catastrophic events to the economy.
