>>Capitalism at its best.

LOL - Capitalism at its best?

The systemic corruption and demoralization perpetrated by moral miscreants in the financial infrastructure is “capitalism at its best”?

Drink much of the “Fiscally Conservative” Kool-aid in the water cooler at “the bank” did you?

You know, the “Fiscally Conservative” bullshyte on tap - that rationalized the manufacture of somewhere between 100 and 700 TRILLION dollars worth of derivative a$$paper that’s still floating in the pond...

“Capitalism at its best” L O L!

My point was that when i worked for a bank they did not care whether they were “diverse” or not. Yes, there was the normal window dressing. But they wanted to make money. Period.

I never cared whether or not the guy next to me was gay or straight. It did not matter to me, or our clients. If he/she/shehe did not make money they did not work there long.

Is that not how its supposed to be?

I dont know what its like today, but back in the day THAT was freedom and capitalism.

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.
