Problem with the banks (and many other huger corporations in US ie: airlines) is that during prosperity all the profits are going to narrow set of people (board and investors) but during the crisis there's always bailout using taxpayers money to save them. It essentially means that profits stay with the wealthy while losses are being spread across the poor. This is no longer capitalism but communism where they ruling party (boards and investors) are getting richer without the risk.
