The banks came to terms with the gov't. The gov't is doing the stealing. Whats the remedy? Something that most people are unwilling to do. Disassociate yourself from both. Yes, its a different way of living than what you are accustomed to. But make no illusions, you live in a world full of thugs and its in your best interest to realize that fact and deal with it accordingly. The banks didn't steal anything.

I believe there are 2 main problems that cause this: 1) The government has convinced a large part of the population that they, as individuals or as a community, can not survive without their meddling. People honestly think all out anarchy will occur without the government. I think of the movie "Mad Max" haha. 2) People just don't care. They don't see how their lives are effected every day. It's just like my experience and belief about the issues soldiers had in Iraq. From my experience and my discussion with a few Iraqis, a majority of the Iraqi citizens just didn't care and turned a blind eye to everything. To change things, I think the first thing we need to do is convince these people that they should care.
