Maybe they are seeking to avoid regulation. I am totally against socialization of the market, but strict regulation would not be such a bad thing, staring with the banks and working laterally.

It is irritating that we bailed out Some banks who are now making a huge profit and spending out billions in bonuses again. Filthy rotters don't deserve that after all the irresponsibility that basically has put us where we are today.
