*The bank – the monster – has to have profits all the time. It can't wait.
It'll die. No, taxes go on. When the monster stops growing, it dies. It
can't stay one size…. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's
the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it. – The Grapes of Wrath,
John Steinbeck*
