Key words, "like" and "hope". Two words not based in logic. Face it. The people who run this world are holding on by their fingertips the same as everyone else.

no, i'm not saying that they got together in a room and said lets crash the economy today
i think they kept figuring out ways to make them more money
and then eventually when they came up with a formula to make money on shady investments, they suppressed their morals and continued to make money
until the economy crashed. and then they had to take their millions of dollars and go home so the public wouldn't riot.
