Capping the size of American banks won't eliminate the needs of big businesses it will force them to turn to foreign banks that won't face the same restrictions.

I think the free-enterprise system has been great for society. That doesn't mean it's completely perfect. And also, when people say capitalism, I'm not really sure what they mean.
