Seems like everyone else should be treated just as well as the people profiting from the foreclosure of the homes of 10 million American families and the tragedy that follows them.

Though I am sure someone thinks that him telling the bankers he is standing between them "and the pitchforks" was probably some Republican projecting his voice...
