Quick Overview

A former Wall Street manager turned investigative journalist gets the inside story on the ways in which the banks pillaged the Treasury, embezzled the bailout, and proceeded with business as usual. We all watched as packs of former high-flying financiers commandeered posts in Washington and lavished trillions in bailouts to "save" massive Wall Street corporations that used that cash to pay their bonuses and anything and everything except to fill in Main Street′s potholes. Shows how the most flagrant pillagers work at the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department, revealing how Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, and Tim Geithner siphoned off $10.7 trillion from the public's future for big Finance's gift, all the while telling us it absolutely was for our own benefit. It Takes A Pillage slams an economic system which will not change, if our government does not force it to alter, despite what happens within the alleged "free market" and explains why the 'sweeping' money reform bill passed when Wall Street reconsolidated its power, is anything but sweeping or reformatory.
