(16,000 posts)59. Banks And The "Whole Democracy Thing" In 90 Seconds Or Less

"Now cabbies and crop-pickers will pick up the slack; your taxes will bring the bankers right back;
where we'll keep spreading our good news, of deregulation and free market views - 'We know what we're doing, just stop with the rules!'"
