All I'm saying is, if I have to pay for the banks with my tax-dollars, shouldn't I get to own a piece through my government? I want to be able to fire the jerk-off that thinks he deserves a multimillion bonus for bankrupting my company.

The banks don't seem to be doing too well on their own. Our tax money is already helping to keep them going. As long as the deposits are safe, what difference would it make.
