You are right, of course, but in our society we (correctly) punish illicit drug suppliers, dealers and buyers, because they are all knowingly engaged in activities that they know they shouldn't be engaged in. Punishing only one of those parties would be... classist? Maybe even racist?
- pas 8y agoOP was talking about casual or moral responsibility, not about criminal. Unless it was fraudulent neither party is to criminally blame, even if both hurried the economy toward the cliff. Even if "the banks" did so knowlingly. It was not their job to care about that. And while it's sad, that banks were this short-sighted, it's important to note, the less ruthless ones were already priced out of the market.
