Burn the bankers.

I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that
you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of
the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and
when you lost, you charged it to the Bank. ... You are a den of vipers
and thieves
.—Andrew Jackson, 1834, on closing the Second Bank of the
United States.
