So you're saying the system was greedy and corrupt, that the laws prevented those features from getting out of control, and when we took the laws away they ran

  no, the system was greedy and corrupt, and the collapse gave us a chance to sweep away the greedy and corrupt parts and increase public skepticism in the system. The laws hid that and gave cover to the continued theft of the general public; and with the bailout, we not only failed to sweep away the bad actors but kept them in place so that they may continue to leech off us. As we continue to blame the loss of the laws for the corruption, we lose sight of the true problem, that the state stacks the deck against us, because now we 'rest in the comfort' that if the state were there, it would have 'saved us', when it's part and parcel of screwing us, all along.
