Wall Street is populated by a bunch of people whose primary goal is to make money, and the rules are pretty much caveat emptor.

You'd be a fool or a deluded idealist to think ethics would be prominent on Wall Street. That is not a statement against people in the money business, just a fact.

I'm not averse to helping Wall Street when it helps Main Street.

You must make some decisions Wall Street dislikes.

I think that the S.E.C. has been pretty feckless when it comes to reigning in reckless behavior on Wall Street.

Wall Street is in trouble because Main Street is broke.
