Bill Moyers and Matt Taibbi: Everyone Pays If the Banksters Don't Go to Jail (video)

Taibbi tells Bill that fearing another economic calamity is no excuse for turning a blind eye to shockingly unethical decisions and management.
“The rule of law isn’t really the rule of law if it doesn’t apply equally to everybody. If you’re going to put somebody in jail for having a joint in his pocket, you can’t let higher ranking HSBC officials off for laundering $800 million for the worst drug dealers in the entire world,” Taibbi tells Bill. “Eventually it eats away at the very fabric of society.”

I think both Moyers and Taibbi would be an asset to getting the MMT message out if anyone has access to them.
