Jesse Jackson talks about Detroit and the system they put in place that bankrupted the city whereby civil servants were given stable high paying jobs in the city and only paid taxes in the Suburbs where they lived. The bankers were fined for this but the fine was less than the rip off so they made money from the fine.
