Properly abolishing government-provided deposit insurance should require $trillions in new fiat to be equally distributed to all US citizens.
But hey, let's forget justice. Let's just supplement wage slavery to the private sector with wage slavery to government. Yeah, that's the ticket! /sarc
$12/hr? That's less than the proposed - and in some cases already legislated - minimum wage of $15.
