But that's not true. That's why when the banks failed, they took everyone else with them. And I think big business holds a lot of politicians in their pockets, so they can gain a foothold in the government as well.

Government regulation is the only thing keeping large businesses in check. I think the deregulation of the banks was what caused this current mess we're in, and proves that they do not have the public's interest at heart.
