   Sounds like the core issue is being missed here, but take a look at the resistance in Iceland or Greece if you want to enhance your talking points.

   You cannot talk about what banks do without talking about fractional reserve banking and derivatives, which is fractional banking on steroids.

   Second, as Mr Black and Elizabeth Warren have suggested, there’s much fraud in the system that still needs to be expunged. The financial system is still running on fraud and the fraudsters are running free.

   The financial crisis is NOT the same as an economic crisis. Finance is NOT, by and large, the real economy. As such, finance plays a destructive role in the economy and we’re not using the world’s economy to service finance fraud.

   The IMF and its member banks are a criminal syndicate, experienced in impoverishing countries in the name of development. Multinational and globalist policies like NAFTA, GATT, WTO have only enriched financiers and their henchmen overseeing factories in the Philippines and China. There is a great documentary on Google videos which details the Argentina economic collapse of 10 yrs ago. It’s essentially a guidebook on how to rob a country.

   1) Install a popular and charismatic leader who’s cozy with the press and purports to have credibility among progressives.

   2) sell off national assets

   3) steal pensions

   4) call for austerity and repeat steps 2 and 3.
