The lack of high moral standards in capitalist USA

No matter how you look at it, our banks and our bankers, both before and during the crisis [of September to October of 2008], did not live up to the moral standards that we should hope for, especially in their exploitation of ordinary borrowers. The sub-prime mortgages are just another example of a long litany of abusive practices in a variety of venues, which included student loans, pay day loans, rent-a-centers and credit and debit cards.

Like a priest mentions in Michael Moore's Capitalism, a Love Story: “it is an evil system” that in the long run is unsustainable.
