I hate to be that guy... the message of your post is clear, but I think it should be flee and not flea.

What's the difference between a flea and a banker? One is an irritating parasite that feeds off humans. The other is a flea ;)

You just couldn't resist, could you. I'm shocked no regulation has passed to limit the banker's power. And I'm even more shocked none of them spent any time in jail. Seems like they really do own capitol hill

At this point, I think capitol hill owns them, and would hate to send their lackeys to jail and interrupt what they have encouraged them to do: fleece the plebs to pay massive consultant fees for their insider information about bloated govt contracts and pending financial manipulations.

>I'm shocked no regulation has passed to limit the banker's power.

Probably because there are already a ton of regulations- the problem is they weren't being enforced. They probably still aren't being enforced.

Actually, I'd be in favor of having a lot fewer regulations, and enforcing those few very strictly.

Selective enforcement of the law is often worse than having no law at all.
