Frightening!

Sir what many of us feared, the Union of those who can not go bankrupt with those who are to big to fail is getting closer. Henry Kaufman’s proposal contained in “Finance’s upper tier needs closer scrutiny” April 21, on a supervisory authority that takes over the role of the credit rating agencies and that starts almost micromanaging the big financial entities makes our hair stand up.

Where are we citizens going to be left in this cosy arrangement among those who could share so many mutually beneficially interests? Why do we not just place a little tax on the size of banks based on the bigger you are the harder you could fall on us concept?
