Perhaps the blame for the current financial woes and corporate greed being exposed on Wall Street can be placed at the door steps of the 1992 blockbuster movie of the same name.

"Greed—for lack of a better word—is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms—greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge—has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed—you mark my words—will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA." —Spoken by character Gordon Gekko in movie "Wall Street"

The movie "Wall Street" must have been required viewing for anyone seeking advancement in the now ailing and failing financial institutions.

Greed is Good. Greed is right. Greed works.
