WASHINGTON, DC – Two hundred years ago, Washington DC was captured by the British – who then proceeded to set fire to official buildings, including the White House, Treasury Department, and Congress. Today, it is a domestic interest group – very large banks – that has captured Washington.
华盛顿&mdash;两百年前，华盛顿被英国人攻陷，入城的英国人随后放火烧了包括白宫、财政部和国会在内的公共建筑。如今，一个国内利益集团&mdash;&mdash;大银行&mdash;&mdash;又攻陷了华盛顿。这次的代价可能比1814年高得多。
