Excellent lead story in today's print Financial Times. Headline: "Banker fury over tax 'witch-hunt.'" Pull quotes along the side:

* "...like taking the finance industry out back and shooting it" * "What good does it do to be demonising an industry that you need to revive to fix the economy?" * "The tax measures will send the US back to the stone age." * "...like a McCarthy witch-hunt" * "This is the most profoundly anti-American thing I have ever seen."

These guys had nothing to do with wrecking the economy, of course.
