A: The CEO of a major, multi-billion dollar bank, who for many years runs it recklessly: not only did he ignore warnings about risky investments, he actually fired those who made them. He surrounded himself with dittohead yes-men who didn't question his actions. Finally during a banking crisis he is caught with his pants down and is forced to go to the government for a massive bailout/nationalization. The government lets him go, but not before he gives himself a million dollar annual pension for life. For the next 30 years the citizens are on the hook for more taxes caused by this massive debt, and in the short term millions are left jobless.

B: An unemployed factory worker who was let go because the above bank called back the loans to the factory during the same banking crisis, and who sneaks up to the above banker's house in the middle of the night and smashes the home's window and the windshield of the Mercedes S600 on the driveway. As a result the above banker spends a small sum to repair the broken glass, and the media across the country are abuzz with the incident. He then goes on to vandalize the property of other bankers and becomes a bit of a folk hero before getting caught.

A, obviously.  I can't imagine anyone thinking otherwise.

Clearly A.  This isn't even close.  There is no threat of violence from our "poor hero" in this poll.

You seem like someone who would aspire to be A.
