We did not work on that stuff. In fact we were the only big bank in the market that did not buy into the 125% Home Equity crap. We made people come up with down payments, and they had to have jobs.

ACORN hated us. Every time we went to buy another bank, we had to deal with that garbage.

Yes, I am a social and fiscal conservative. You are missing my point: The people in banks who make the money are focused on just that.

We did it right. Others did it really wrong.

Ex 32:8
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'
NIV

Hos 12:7-9
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales;he loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,"I am very rich; I have become wealthy.With all my wealth they will not find in me any iniquity or sin."

9 "I am the Lord your God,[who brought you] out of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again,
as in the days of your appointed feasts.
NIV

"The people in banks who make the money are focused on just that."
 
The "focus" you glorify doesn't leave many cpu cycles left over for noticing the moral compass is spinning out of control, does it?
 
It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware
of whether or not his services are being used
as a means to accomplish evil ends -
and to act [or NOT] accordingly.
 
 
NO SALE.
