I work in a building full of financial firms. They are great people. I’d rather share a prison cell with a banker than a tropical island with a lawyer (stereotype, I know). But the same bankers who orcestrated our financial meltdown also orchestrated the bailouts. We have 57 trillion dollars in unfunded derivatives floating out there thanks to them. They are the same people who run the Federal Reserve, which has not been audited in 90 years and is answerable to no one. Bankers arranged for billions of our childrens tax dollars to be given to foreign banks. The Democrats bash Wall Street and greedy bankers, but the bankers keep writing them checks. And the Democrats keep appointing the same usual suspects to steer our economy as (gasp) President Bush did. I’ll label them as scapegoats when politicians actually try to rein them in, not gas empty rhetoric while letting them destroy our future.
Some bankers, yes.
