Reply #28: Ah. The Noble Class - so good to have it back.

Still though, they do seem lacking in the quality of true nobles - for they actually, sort of, are willing to answer a question about their actions:

"Many critics of investment banks have questioned why firms continue to siphon off billions of dollars of bank earnings into bonus pools rather than using the funds to shore up the capital position of the crisis-stricken institutions. One source said: "That's a fair question - and it may well be that by the end of the year the banks start review the situation."

Shocking! If they were truly nobles, they would not care what the peasants ask. At least they save some noble quality and dignity, by not actually promising to "review the situation" where they directly steal 10% of our money that was given to save their banks so that JTP can get a loan to buy a plumbing co (if he ever gets licensed as a plumber that it is).

We are indeed living in the "End Times" - not of superstition, ignorance, and greed, just of democracy.

Fair it is I guess, only right and just that we should tithe our rulers directly.
