That didn't address at all the issues or factors that I brought up. Nor will it be sufficient to qualm any protest. How much interest does the loan industry make, on ones home, business, personal? Is it comparable and what were and are the continued bureaucratic costs of "bailing out" the financial system? What exactly are the expense to income numbers? The fact is that the numbers are still coming in and the bottom line "interest" isn't fully even known. More profitable for who?
The biggest problem is that the masses may be just too fed up at this point when they reach into their pockets and no "interest" comes out, hand is empty. When usually they are thinking about going to work the next day they can't. At the grocery store, the gas station, it's turning into how much "interest" is in buying things.
Many see how easy it was for the financial system or large business to receive that loan, yet they can't buy, sell, or keep a home. It becomes a very mute point in the daily lives of majority about your statement when it's a struggle to just survive and a realization that the monetary system (especially their personal monetary system) has some big problems.
I'm not arguing right or wrong on any protest yet, just bringing up some real issues when the discontented turn into a majority, and "we the people" want something different that is being passed to them. I personally believe that some real change (not just some political hyperbole) is needed. We as a society are on a verge of cliff, and history has taught us that if the majority is put down in a bottom of a ditch and discarded, some sort of massive movement is going to come clawing out of it with anger and frustration.
And good or bad, some change will be initiated.
