Anyone switching to a credit union with what's going on?

Which law was broken? Because as far as I know there's nothing illegal about selling high-risk securities.

There is a law against misrepresenting high risk securities. There's also a law against perjury, which is what robo-signing is. Employees of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and more committed thousands of easily verifiable acts of perjury. Those employees should go to jail for perjury. The boards of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, etc, should go to jail for racketeering. This is what RICO is for.

I just don't care about my fellow man. At all.

United we stand, divided we fall. You're choosing the latter. You're part of the lower 99.9% too.

BTW, the march was great. Lots of people, we stretched at least two city blocks. Not bad for a first time out in a highly red state. Very excited to see what happens next.

I just don't care about my fellow man. At all. I care about people I have forged an interpersonal relationship with, but not the other 6 billion people on the planet.

I think you do just like everyone on this planet, you're just not aware of it on a conscious level. At least that's how I see it.

I enjoy the highly knowledgeable conversation on financial issues that is taking place.

Not to mention some good moral relativism as well!

For anyone reading through this thread that wants to gain a better understanding of how banks played a part in the crash of the economy, I recommend the documentary Inside Job as a good starting point:

Not flame bait. Not bullshit. I'm just an uncaring asshole compared to you guys.

And that's why we shouldn't care about your opinion.
