Petition to Break Up the "Too Big to Fail/Too Big to Regulate" Banks

International Banks have clearly created the Financial Crash of 2008. They have done this by creating immensely over-complicated financial instruments, many of which had little or no value. Numerous Ponzi schemes have looted unsuspecting and well-meaning investors of hundreds of billions of dollars, under the guise of huge returns on their investments. Taxpayers have had to foot the bill not only to bail out the banks, but also to hire Federal attorneys to chase and retrieve the money, much of which had already been spent or hidden in foreign countries. These same banks also have an obscene level of influence over our government policy, which distorts markets, creates high interest rates, and puts local banks, which in the past were the essence of community investment, out of business
