Well, I'd say it's quite clear that if you're seen as on the left, you can get away with anything you want.
Trevor, do you really think the banksters are all liberal leftists? They certainly seem to have gotten away with it, apart from suits brought by New York State.
And just anticipating something inevitable:

At this point in the cycle, non-professional unions and guilds start to grow again. (Professional unions aren't called that, and are on a different cycle, however there are only three classic professions. Even accepting the 9 listed as professions in the US, you still see most of them on the counter cycle to non-professional unions.) Non professional unions only grow when they are violent, or to put it another way, their growth is resisted harshly and they respond physically. Whichever way you prefer to regard it, union violence will increase dramatically over the next decade or two.
I'm surprised banks in the US haven't been on the receiving end of any but minor violence, OWS certainly had the potential for that, but as yet they've generally refrained. Doubtless a large part of this is the effect of the FSLIC protection of accounts. If that breaks down, bankers will be in huge trouble.
While it's true that follow the money is a reliable indicator for almost anything, it seems to always be true when the French are involved.

They may not be number one now, but they've got a lot of money there.
