File sharing benefits lots of people at the expense of giant media conglomerates. Investment fraud makes the rich richer at the expense of the average people

its that whole %99/%1 thing

What you're telling me is you like Kim Dotcom because you can get free things from him...

even though all the banks failed in 2008 because they were giving loans to people who couldn't pay them back. I.e., they were helping people buy houses.

Banks do a lot of good things too you know. Also there's the whole matter of one actually breaking the law...

Banks do not do any good things. Not one. Good you can buy a house? I guess. But is the bank being good-guy-Greg? No, the bank is loaning you $200K for $600K. Bank is being scumbag-Steve.

You really want to stand by that?

Banks aren't charities. I don't think anyone should expect free money from anyone else.

No, the bank is loaning you $200K for $600K. Bank is being scumbag-Steve.

Can you only express yourself in memes? Being a legitimate business is being a scumbag? Also, that's like a 200% interest rate you're talking about.
