This song, released in May 2011, is a protest piece
about the underhanded, unethical (and illegal?) tactics
used by some of the most prominent and powerful figures
in American finance. By "tactics" I mean maneuvers going
back for years that ultimately played directly into
causing the worldwide Financial Meltdown of late 2008,
which has caused so much hardship for so many
individuals. (Many others will be harmed for years to
come.) It has been called The Wall Street Collapse
although not much collapsing seems to have actually
taken place on Wall Street itself. Many of the top
players have in fact profited "big time" from our tax
payer-funded bail out.
