Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), the incoming chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is coming under fire from liberal groups for suggesting that federal lawmakers and regulators exist to "serve the banks."
"In Washington, the view is that the banks are to be regulated, and my view is that Washington and the regulators are there to serve the banks," he (Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.)) said.

This quote may be months old, but it's more true today. Corporations are "people" my friend. Only they aren't.
I suspect Republicans see corporations and banks as their "family", but they see the rest of America as a doormat. Something to wipe their feet on.
