"a pack of thieves who rob banks because thats where the money is."

Hey! that's what Jesse James said when they asked him why he robbed banks!


As to 'banks owning a lot of houses' - well on a very recent TV doco here - it showed that once a house was surrendered - the people moved out (dunno to where, but whole parts of suburbs were evicted) and the houses were then stripped of alum cladding, bot water systems, copper piping, etc. Within a short time, the place is condemned - and bad enough to be bulldozed.

So the banks only 'own the land' and a pile of decaying junk...
