2011: A Bank Odyssey: IV

So, I'm upset with the Bank of America because it spent years nagging me to apply for a refinance loan, and when I did, turned me down. All they had to do was realize that they would turn me down beforehand, and not bother to nag me.

Now, I do not hate large corporations simply because they are large corporations. And I really don't think the Occupy Wall Street movement is 99% of the people against one percent. For one thing, some one percenters, like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, are sympathetic to the Occupy movement, and many of its concerns.  For another, a fairly large part of the population goes along with the 1%ers, for whatever reason. Poeople who enjoy success are more likely to support the system, and more than 1% are economically successful.

But Americans in general are fed up being owned and controlled by the corporate oligarchy, by, as Gore Vidal says, "our corporate masters".

Should I withdraw all my modest assets from the Bank of America, and transfer them to a small local bank or a credit union?Vote NOW!
