The top banks now have more power, wealth and influence than the US government itself.

Has there ever been a time when this was not true in the US? Being a student of 19th century history, I would say this has been pretty common for about 200 years. Compared with the 19th century, things are actually a little better now than back then.

Not that I am happy with this situation. But I wanted to point out that this is hardly a new situation.

I think I am part of the 99.9% who wish for the best, prepare for the worst and just keep on working hard every day getting through life.
