For 3 years running it's been restated: in the 30's it was worth your life (or at least a good beating) to say you were a "banker". That was when the term "bankster" - banker and gangster combined - originated.

History is repeating itself. Perhaps this time - finally - corporate interests will bury the public interest. It's just an old struggle in new clothes.
