The Choice For Bankers

These are the choices for the bankers and the investment houses:
  1. Drop your objections to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Agency; or
  2. Fight the creation of the CFPA, get your loyal servants in the Congress to kill it (you know, the guys who are supposed to be representing us, but take lots of bribes campaign contributions from you) and then
  3. When you finish off the destruction of the middle class and things really go to hell, you will all end up (a) dangling by your necks from lamp-posts; (b) being placed in front of impromptu firing squads (a la Nicholae Ceauşescu); or (c) being hacked to death by angry mobs and then having your bodies hung upside down (a la Mussolini).
The choice is yours, guys. If you think that you can continue to rig the system so that you take and take and take without any recourse, you will be proven wrong. Your financial recklessness and your repeated whine of "save us, government, we are too big to fail" will not be tolerated forever.

Even the party of Hoover is slowly starting to figure out that being seen as the pet dogs of the banks is becoming a sure-fire way to lose elections. Your three biggest butt-monkeys on the Democratic side of the aisle, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer, will see the light, as well, and will abandon your overfed asses to the rage and vengeance of the people.

We all know that the reason why Bank of America is paying back $45 billion in TARP money is so that they can get out from under the eyes of the Treasury Department and resume their rapacious practices. Everyone in this country who has a credit card has recently received notices from all of those loan sharks banks of how they are jacking up the rates. We all know that the banks' newly announced plans to loan money to small businesses is just a cover to deflect public anger from their longstanding policy of "hooray for me and fuck you."

Public tolerance won't last forever.

    At some point, the disparity of arms technology between what the average banking victim can afford and what the wealthy elite can employ will be such that an angry mob of any size will be cut down long before reaching their targets.

    After the first such incident, we will have officially entered into the New Feudalism period of history.

    We're probably only one global financial meltdown away from that.

    Yeah, but the wealthy elite will have to venture out of their compounds sometime ...

    I'm starting to get calls again from the folks who loan small businesses money with the repayment taken directly from their credit card sales. Before it gets to your bank. At oh say 30% interest. You think it's going to keep you afloat through hard times. You'd be wrong.
