The funny thing behind it all is the "capitalist" system is what gets blamed, but it's really more of a fascist/oligarchical types of government/business deals that give the banks these profits. Were things truly free market these boom/bust cycles (which are triggered by government legislation and profited upon by the multinational banks who know ahead of time it's going to occur) simply wouldn't exist. Both political parties are to blame, but heading down the reactionary anti-free market route of socialism is placing even more power in the hands of the very people who created this oligarchy. Given the information the general public is given it does seem incredibly counter intuitive to move more towards free market limited government intervention, but unfortunately that is the common sentiment.
