And Chase, after they took over my WaMu credit card, (my husband’s card actually) closed the account for no reason. No missed payments, no late payments, all payments over the minimum amount due...it was after they got their bailout money.
Previously had bad dealing with a Chase card and got rid of it, they had jacked up the interest rate to 30% for no reason, can’t wait until this one is gone. Did not want another Chase card ever.
Nothing but crooks out there and all this ACORN crap is really sick.
Thanks...I saw that.
The country's institutions are so corrupt, it make take a full blown revolution to get the country back.
I Trust No-One Anymore.
Ok folks, need we say any more ? How big a smoking gun do we need ?
The various wall street firms were partnerships up until a few short years ago. Jon Corzine (D), Governor of New Jersey, was co-CEO of Goldman-Sachs, with - you guessed it - Hank Paulson. Would the U.S. Treasury been able to convince taxpayers to bail out wealthy partners in wall street firms ?
These partnerships all IPO’d, allowing the partners to “cash out”, leaving the public owning the companies - miraculously just a few short years before the big Barney (collapse), after operating as partnerships for up to, and even exceeding, 100 years. All those years, I think a suggestion to IPO would have been laughed at by the partners.
Take a look at their websites today; instead of looking like investment banks, they look like they’re in the global activist business.
Of course, in order for business to function, you need fair and consistent courts. Which we will have, as soon as courts resume upholding the ancient common law concept that goes something like... activist groups, along with everyone else, can’t justly use the courts for extortion. It’s a crime, and when cases like that come before a court, the plaintiff should not only lose, but be prosecuted successfully, fined and jailed for such extortion attempts. So, anyone can bring a case, but don’t try to extort something for yourself, or you will usually wind up in one of our profit-making prisons, where you will earn your keep and make a profit for society while resolving to not repeat your mistakes. Oh, silly me, we don’t have such prisons, we have high-security vacation getaways where you train and gather up street cred, or relax in execu-prisons where the harshest punishment is bland boredom.
There’s nothing bad about capitalism, these firms simply have not been operating in a free-market fashion since the 70’s. They are mere tools of the left wing since their “knees buckled”. We will not have working banks until the race and gender fields are removed from loan applications, and loan officers evaluate only the business prospect of the loan. And if enough people think a bank is “underserving” a certain market, that presents a big, fat business opportunity for a new bank to come in and serve that market. Or shut up.
Private business owners that are in for the long run actually want to see their business thrive in the long run. CEO’s of publicly traded companies, at the end of the day, are simply the highest paid employee.
Let’s go with privately-held corporations owned by U.S. citizens, i.e., us. Us as employees, us as owners, us as vendors, us as customers. We can certainly trade internationally, but simply have the sense to not decimate our own business environment to make .5% more profit this quarter.
Any takers ?

$8 billion to these criminals and thugs!!

I’ve been thinking about all of this for awhile now — and I honestly see no alternative other than some sort of revolution coming from our side.
Everyone’s futures ride on it — as more and more data comes out about the current Chicago mob and its associates, it is clear that every aspect of our financial system is infiltrated and tainted. If we don’t forcibly take back our government/country, we will find ourselves with worthless (or no) assets and we may as well live in Cuba.

Geez, blam, my response to your earlier post talked about my suspicion that we will need nothing less than a revolution and now I read this post from you positing exactly the same thing. I wonder how many more ordinary everyday citizens are thinking the same thing?
I don’t know, but whatever we do, it has to all be over in one weekend, because we all have to be back at work on Monday. Unless we’re unemployed. But in that case, I don’t know about this “revolution” thing, it wouldn’t look good on a resume at all.
Maybe we could just like... all vote next time. And like... take all our apathetic friends and like... drag them out to vote with us. I know, we could offer them like... a case of their favorite beer if they voted for the decent person.
I bet we have way more couch potatoes than they have ineligible voters, as long as we can hold them down to voting only like 4 or 5 times each.
Maybe the whole resume thing is why the original Tea-Party dudes all dressed up like... er... uh... native americans...
(sorry about the goofy kookyfornia accent, it’s late and I’m just poking fun at everything)
Bump for future fireworks - I hope!
A bunch!
Restoration or Revolution.
as soon as possible, I am saying goodbye to Chase.....we have our Heloc there, and God help us we’ll get the dang thing paid off and our money out of that trash of a bank...
VOTE AGAINST ALL INCUMBENTS
Throw all the Banking & Wall street THIEVES in jail for 150 years each.
Great.
I've been busy preparing for the revolution, I suggest everyone get ready.
There are no alternatives...the Republicans aren't much better.
My congressman, Jo Bonner, just got back from a two week around the world vacation with five other Republicans and their families...ALL PAID FOR BY YOU!!!
See here.
"For instance, there will be no flak jackets required for Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) when he leads a large congressional delegation on an around-the-world trip to Ireland, Switzerland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, and Canada. And the trip looks to be more spouse-friendly: All of the seven House members on the Boehner-led trip -- Dan Boren (D-OK), Jo Bonner (R-AL), Dave Camp (R-MI), Tom Latham (R-LA), and Greg Walden (R-OR) -- say they are bringing their spouses (at "no cost to the DoD," the CODEL itinerary states).
