In Capitalism: A Love Story - Link to the Citigroup leaked internal memo on "Plutonomy"
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BzgUudifBc68ZGUyNzA0MzAtZDZkZC00ZmZjLTkwY2ItNzBlZWRmNjI1ZTNm&hl=en

If you've seen the documentary, there is a section where Moore presents this leaked internal memo from Citigroup, showing them gloating over the coming "American Plutocracy" where only the wealthy mattered and everyone else was "irrelevant."

Thought some might like to have the actual memo to read for themselves. I just found it last night.

14. The big banks needed to fail.
They needed to fail and die off. They are parasites on the system which produce no value.
