Eh, if you found a bank, then you are founder. And you are probably establishing it with your own money(along with the moneys of partners who will also be founders). I fail to see how this pertains to the topic, unless you are loosely relating the fact that if a bank did not exist, it could not be robbed in the first place. While it is a true piece of information, it's sorta like, of your granny did not exist, she could not get robbed, or if women did not exist women couldn't be raped. Although those analogies are not quite accurate since in, Bank robbery, the victims are actually the employees and the patrons rather than the banks themselves(accounts are insured and at a given moment personal effects of the patrons present are more valuable than the contents of the containers a robber would actually get access to), the bank branches are really more the medium of the crime rather than the victim. It's much like how there would be no street crime if there were no streets, or there would be no date rape if couples did not go on dates or to parties.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with most of your post, in so far as I can understand it... except for your gross misconception of what capitalism is. (Then again most Americans also have this same misconception. Hard work can get you anywhere is NOT the premise of capitalism, just one of it's by products under some circumstances.)

In other words, while I find myself in agreement with most of the points you've made in your post, I'm not sure what the main point of your post was actually about... Perhaps "found" was not he verb you intended to use, and my first paragraph is a misinterpretation. (To found something is to establish something, in the sense of founding a business, an organization, or even a nation... Not to be confused with 'found', which is the past tense version of 'find...' Another one of those English can be weird things.)

Well at the moment I have got a certain distaste for banks.
Those guys burned though the money of their customers took help from the country getting more money and nothing has changed they keep burning money like no ones business.
A bank robbery is peanuts compared to this damage and nothing happened.
The same idiots do the same damage over and over again.

For the second part I know part I know the definition of capitalism but I also know the catchwords they sell us. Something like unlimited growth or personal effort.
Stuff that just can't work. Of course it is a misconception.
