As it continues, all of these banks, which are so important in communities, particularly small communities all over the country, it is going to have a very negative effect on the economic conditions there in those areas.
We now have a set of circumstances that if you look at the top 1 percent, you have the same amount of wealth in the hands of the top 1 percent, the wealthiest 1 percent of the people, that you did in 1928 and 1929, right now.

The great wildlands of Utah that are owned by the American people are under threat.
I agree with Peter, I think that this would be a very viable way of creating jobs in Utah.
