...but it would be better to find an image of a crash from which the people escape and then maybe have them scurrying away, with wads of cash falling out of their suitcases, to a villa in the Cayman islands or something.

Also, it's premature. We have not yet defeated the Goldman Sachs campaign. Bernie Sanders has certainly altered public consciousness and our national political discussion, and has aroused the real roots of the Democratic Party--in spite of the Trump Distraction--and I think this aroused citizenry will never be quiet again. That is a wonder in itself. But Goldman Sachs, et al, still has a lock on the DNC and many bought-and-paid-for Democratic leaders, in the filthiest political system on earth. Sanders certainly has momentum, but we're not there yet, to the Dem Establishment's crash and burn.
