Well, the Democrats have had their share of corruption (especially, in recent years, among Democratic governors in Illinois), but I think Nixon and Reagan deified corporate leadership and declared them infallible, and this led to the last generation of corporate corruption. First it was the Savings and Loan scandals of the 1980's, then the corrupt accounting firms of the late 1990's and early 2000's, and now the banks and stockbrokers.
How deep will all this corruption take us? It sure has affected the stability of my retirement savings.
