    Banks do that probably even more often: creation of credit without backing (fractional reserve...).

    It's sad that during crises, the people suffer a lot, while the banks keep getting saved. This leads to social unrest, riots.

    Taxing the banks would not lead to social unrest. But it would upset the EU and the IMF.
