Why doesn't someone organize a mass boycott of these "bankster gangsters?" I have to wonder of all the people who are outraged at the AIG bonuses, the TARP funds, the forced take-downs and sale-on-the-cheaps of the Wall Street brokerages and all of the other shenanigans... well why is anyone still doing business with these guys? How many of the complainers still have insurance policies with AIG? How many still a brokerage account with Merril Lynch? How many a checking account with Chase? Aren't there enough well run local banks that can serve most needs? I mean really, most (75%) of the people could bank elsewhere with little problem and if people pulled their deposits out of these companies, they'd end up where they belong, under creditor protection in the bankruptcy court. I sure hope all of these outraged people have switched their bank accounts, moved their CDs, switched brokerages and bought different insurance? Is there any reason to still be doing business with the Big 5 (or is it 10?) "bankster gansters?" Oh sure I'm sure there is some rationalization to be had here: it's too expensive, I don't want the hassle, But I got a free toaster when I opened the account! Geez. Me, shoot I quit using those "bankster" idiots years ago when they had no method for creating a credit to the principle balance as I regularly over paid my loan. [Now, if I had missed a payment they had many "systems" for dealing with THAT.] NO, now I vote with my dollars only at well run local banks and with credit unions. Haven't missed the banksters and that goes for both personal and business accounts. We need a good "old-fashioned" run on the banksters to kick them into reality. After all the Bankster lobby rewrote the Bankrupcty Code in 2005 - it is about time they get to take a dose of their own medicine. Seems like it might be poetic justice as well, no? OK back to the regular programming.... H3
