People talk as if shareholders in companies like AIG and Citi escape scot free. Citi is down 93% and AIG is down 98%.

The point was that you didn't have a domino effect that took down the whole world economy (no industry that is bigger than a corner store can function without a banking system). Throwing out the baby with the bathwater just so you can punish some people is counterproductive.
