For hoarding money or not creating another banking crisis?
sanmanDec 22, 2010
Well, they figure that if the Fed cartel that they belong to can still call all the shots and buy itself the political support it needs, then why can't they as the constituents of this cartel similarly "award" themselves more money?
See, when somebody behaves in a corrupt manner you don't like, then you as a consumer should have the choice to take your business elsewhere, and not have to do business with them.
But instead, there are tons of morons, including here on Digg, who fanatically insist on supporting the Federal Reserve and its cartel, which are then collectively a monopoly that deny ordinary people that freedom of choice.
So naturally, that unchallenged power results in maximum corruption. If those bankers had to be afraid that you'd take your business elsewhere, then they'd straighten up. But they don't have to be, thanks to the Fed, and its unauditable unaccountable behavior, and its resultant unchecked power.
So those bankers don't have to worry about whether you like them. They only have to worry about the one thing that counts - their relationship with the cartel. Because the cartel is what has the power, not you. You've stupidly signed everything away to that cartel. You didn't have to - you just chose to be stupid. So why would your opinion now matter at all to them?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Couldn't have been said better! Although not much choice without a revolution. 1 man revolutions don't do squat, you'll just disappear!! MWAHAHAHAHA

I really do not get why people with no knowledge or background in finance or economics are so angry at the Federal Reserve these days? Do you even know what they do other than the news or some opinionated pulpit? The Fed panders to politicians and voters just like any other government agency (or GSE). The fact that they actually have "some" independence from raving, know-nothing voters is what has kept this country afloat. Unemployment is at 10% and inflation is low, quantitative easing (more money in money supply) is needed to keep rates low and business confidence high. What would you do, Genius?

why is this a shock to anybody? If surveyed, does your profession deserve more pay? (An answer that can possibly impact your actual pay, say some douche posts the results online to create sensationalist news.)
What would you answer? I'm surprised it's not 99% of the people who would answer yes. Give me a break.

Look up Shmuck in the Joys of Yiddish and there is a picture of a Banker

This is pretty much the most scientific poll I've ever seen.
actualtodayDec 22, 2010
This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.

Vote for Republicans, vote for banksters.

Barney Frank is the ultimate boy toy for the banking industry. That's well known.

yay for class warfare..

They deserve to have their banks nationalized. If they refuse to clean up their practices and reign in the speculation and greed that caused the Great Recession, then it is up to the nation to do it for them.
ect5150Dec 22, 2010
Nationalized? No.
Let slip into bankruptcy instead of bailed-out? Certainly.
chrisvazquez1Dec 22, 2010
If only they didn't have the nation by the balls. There's nothing positive about letting banks fail...Millions lose jobs and millions lose their savings in the devaluation of the dollar. Nationalization is a little extreme but the status quo is probably just as bad.

As far as I know, being a banker is a pretty demanding job. The stuff you do is easily, but in the loads you get it, it's a lot. Perhaps some of the bankers also feel entitled to more because they have "helped bring us out of the recession".Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

This is why we need laws about LOLcats posting on Digg.

The employed tend to think they deserve more pay, students tend to think they deserve better grades, etc. Humans notoriously over-rate themselves and their abilities.

Hey, it's hard work taking money from the lower class, theyre broke as s**t
rattelerDec 22, 2010
LOL!!! I'm stealing that for my Tumblr Blog.

Meh, some bankers are honest, hard-working people, some are depraved filth shoveled into suits. Sadly the filth outnumber the honest ones.

EVERY corporate manager runs the corporation for THEMSELVES.
suppasonicDec 22, 2010
Whats your point? The purpose of a corporation is to bring profit to its shareholders, and c-level execs tend to be big shareholders.
peterlavelleDec 22, 2010
I think his point is that bankers can't be expected to act in a socially responsible manner without external regulation.
phillymozartDec 22, 2010
I don't trust bankers but I trust government even less. Private businesses like Lehman Brothers can fail and I can pay off a mortgage and credit card. However no one is never free from taxes and congress.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Not one said they'd hire anyone with the money, and most said they'd use it in ways that would not serve as an incentive for hiring, I noticed.
rattelerDec 22, 2010
So... uhm, what kind of degree do you need to get a banking job? I'm thinking of going back to school for that.
peterlavelleDec 22, 2010
Hmm. I'm sure most people in most professions would say they deserve bonuses and more money. Bankers aren't special in that respect.

But the Democrats swore that bailing them out saved a gajillion jobs.

When you actually fabricate money, it becomes disposable... ONE WORD>>>>> NESARA

Oh my God, these are banksters, not bankers, hahaha
