This is a great way of holding the banks accountable and asserting fairness in the citizen's fight against the corprotacracy that has a chokehold on our nation at the moment. If the banks that have received huge amounts of taxpayer money in the form of bailouts refuse to right the abuses that they created then it is incumbent upon a free people to stand up or continue to be run over. It is unfortunate that our federal legislators have allowed things to get to this point. Local governments are going to have to do something as the legislators at the federal level are unwilling to go against or are themselves corrupted by the corporate lobby. This is why we should not allow for career politicians.

How about this. We should let the NSA spy on all domestic corporate transmissions. This would be a great way of holding the banks accountable and asserting fairness in the citizen's fight against the corporatocracy that has a chokehold on our nation.

Do you not see the problem with inventing a new power out of whole cloth to fight wrongdoing? Surely, the banks have done wrong - and should be prosecuted. But the exact thing that you rail against - "banks recieving huge amounts of taxpayer money" was ITSELF the product of exactly the same thinking that you are engaged in - "let's invent a clever new government power. for the public benefit [to save the economy]". problem is, these "public benefits" are so often really just to help out some private consortium - and you don't have to look too hard to figure out who that is in this case.
