Overlegislation of the financial sector will lead to financial collapse. An upper crust of obscenely wealthy bankers is essential for the proper function of the financial system and thus the economy.

Edit: /s fuck y'all are ruthless

There are American citizens that legitimately believe you unlock a multimillion dollar bank account if you write a note at 45° in red marker on your bills. We need the /s because someone is always stupid enough to actually believe everything it seems.

Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.
