Yep, bankers and their hired agents (political and business) have been with us for a LONG time.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
– Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)

"The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks."
- John Dalberg Acton (Lord Acton)

Great quotes. We saw their agents at work in the 30s when the banks were bailed out. And again in 2008. Why not take huge risks if the treasury is there to bail you out?
