We have a system of socialism for the rich, where risk has no downside, because if you mismanage and lose trillions, we the public get to pick up the tab for them. Why is that?

Yes indeed, ANY banker or anyone else that does crooked stuff should be THROWN IN JAIL! The source of the meltdown was Christopher Dodd and Bawny Fwank passing a bill insisting that everyone has a right to a mortgage whether they can afford it or not. GW bought in this madness and that is what led us to this point. The people who combined the bad mortgages to produce toxic assets should be strung up by their nuts on a rope swinging from a tall tree on the courthouse lawn.
If you want to protest the source of the problem, go to Dodd's, Fwank's, or Bush's house and do your protest.
Okay, that's all behind us now and it is what it is. It's time for those who are in dire straits to take responsibility for their own lives and do what they have to do to provide THEMSELVES with a living. Will this be easy? NO. In many cases will it mean selling stuff and taking a setback in lifestyle? Yes.
Life's a Bi+ch sometimes. When things are tough, you've gotta be tough.
