Have those protesting indirectly been benefiting from the Financial Sectors activities in the past?

One of the top performing industries in the Western World are the Financial Sectors. For years they made billions a year and that money flowed into the country where they were based. To pay for Schools, Hospitals, public Services, etc.

A $million bonus often 1/2 disappears in tax or a high % of it. Into a countries coffers.

Without the financial sector most Western Countries would be more fucked than they are.

Fuck with the banks and the banks might just say, Fuck You and fuck off to China, Hong Kong, or anywhere they are welcomed. Then those protesting will really feel the pain.

Go grab a History book and read up on the Great Depression, when the banks were allowed to fail. And the results of that decision. They took with them many people's money and future.
