So, I guess this is where we are today. Complaining to a bank and threatening to call their CEO is exactly equivalent to Adolf Hitler mobilizing several hundred thousand uniformed thugs to attack his political opponents.

And, let us note that the "independent business judgment" of our nation's bankers has proven so magnificent that it would really be a tragedy for all of us if it were "squeezed out."
