Doing a little more history, the real estate/banking 'scandals' were 
largely because of tax loopholes that were set up when Dems were in 
charge in Congress, and taken away when the Dems were in control of 
Congress, 10 or 20 years later. The loopholes made bad business 
profitable, and when the loopholes went away so did the investors, 
creating a collapse. And that of course had to have something done 
about it, so some went to jail.
