I would call it more like a loving partnership between the banks and the politicians to fuck over everyone stupid enough to believe in the validity of the state.

As for your second statement, I can't make heads or tails of it. Sorry.

I don't see this partnership any more loving than the partnership between an employer and the employee. Let me show you my worldview.
