How else might we force the banksters, Wall Streeters, et.al. to pay us back the money they've stolen from us?

 

Answer:   By levying a transactions tax on every stock trade, derivatives trade, currency trade etc.  

  

 

Some would suggest that perhaps it's time to call the banksters and tell them we are taking our money back one way or another.   "Hey banksters we're going to send in the Marines to collect it."

 

Of course this is a joke, because people in league with the banksters and the Fed have much more control over what the US Marines do than do the common people of the USA.  

 

As Major General Smedley Butler wrote:

 

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers.   In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.   I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914.   I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.   I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street.   I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912.   I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916.   I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903.   In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.   Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints.   The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts.   I operated on three continents."

 

Goldman Sachs takeover and domination -- a global coup d'etat?

Recently the Bank of England named former Goldman Sachs investment banker Mark Carney as its new chief, thereby adding to the long list of former Goldman Sachs bankers who've seized positions of immense power all around Europe and the rest of the world.   As Europe descends into an austerity-induced (and therefore manufactured) economic crisis, Goldman Sachs is hereby making sure it gets all of its failed investments back.   As the British newspaper The Independent  reported   earlier this year, the bankster-technocrats steering fiscal policy in Greece, Germany, Italy, Belgium, France, and now the UK, all hail from Goldman Sachs.
