Bankers are Even Less Popular Than Lawyers, Congress

12/10/09 Stockholm, Sweden – Bankers have sunk to a new low in the court of public opinion. According to a Bloomberg National Poll, two-thirds of Americans view finance executives unfavorably, and so bankers join some of the least-liked members of society — Congress, insurance companies, and even lawyers.

From Bloomberg:

“More than half say big financial companies are only out to enrich themselves and also say they shouldn’t have received government aid. And most Americans don’t want to see bankers collecting fat checks at the end of the year if their companies were bailed out by taxpayers.”

The video came to our attention via coverage at The Mess That Greenspan Made, and more details can be seen in the video linked to below.
