I am not against regulation but if we were to go in and try to demolish the banks it may drive even more businesses to leave us for other shores in even greater numbers.

By the way the youth vote did not help Bernie in Nevada yesterday. Not enough to win anyway.


The government gives a tax subsidy to home owners who buy houses with credit supplied by banks (Wall Street). These banks receive loans from the Federal Reserve (discount rate) so as to make loans and create money so as to stimulate the American economy. If you own a home you are a partner with the banking system (Wall Street).
I am a participant in the system, not a partner. Partner implies that I either have a vested interest or a say in how the business operates. You are beginning to sound like a politician.
