The idea of a "fair" market is completely a figment of peoples imagination at this point. The corruption and "loop holes" that exist to allow the Rich to continue to get rich off the backs of the working average citizen is sickening. The stock market and corruption is rampant amongst banks, hedge funds, market makers, and politicians and government departments. The "
