We aren't...we are upset over greedy dishonest and irreparably corrupt assholes who have been robbing the people blind every chance they get.

Now let’s get something straight here, are we talking about the banks or the middlemen between you and the banks? Are you talking about the corporate boss that pockets the odd million every year while the other members of the board pick up say half a mill each? Then while this is taking place the poor old worker is on a low or minimum wage. Now if it is the latter I think that if either you or I were head of that corporation we would be doing the same. Why, because we would then be them, and not us.

How can the banks rob you as a person if you are a saver? Even if you are a borrower in the UK the bank interests rates are set by the Bank of England. The person that is pushing the mortgage interests up is the lender and very few banks in the UK lend money for mortgages. It is also the building societies that are telling the lies so they can get your hard earned cash not the banks. It might be different in the USA but the interest a person pays the middlemen is the killer.

Banks do not foreclose on mortgages, money lenders foreclose on mortgages of people that speculate that they will always be in work to pay the mortgage.

Banks do not send debt collectors to your door, it is companies that do that for the goods you bought without paying. Once again, it’s living above your means or on plastic credit, speculating that you will always have enough money to pay at the end of the month.

Banks do not close companies, bad management and over investment does it for them, once again speculation.

WoW!!! That speculation is all around us, so AIG is not alone after all.


Good for him, give him a cookie, a pat on the back, a job well done Sir, a small bonus...something under a million dollars and let’s give the rest to the people who need it, rebuild some infrastructure, give some people good paying jobs.

Get in the real world denu, the bank is a business and there to make money. I would also like to point out that a bonus is a gift of appreciation from board members. It comes out of their premiums and not out of further profit.


There is a way to stop their high bonuses...

Yep make it illegal!
That’s a good idea then we can get a few clowns in to work for peanuts and then watch your money disappear even faster.


To bad AIG and all the other speculators(who by the way knew plenty in advance that the whole house of cards was going to fall and fall big) didnt follow your example then.

Come on denu they are speculators and that is what they do speculate, it’s only a little safer than betting on horses. I am not an investor or a speculator that’s why I still have my diddly-dosh.

Everyone is blaming the banks for the mess Europe is in..
Because it is their fault we are in it. When they mark loans up and fix credit as they please even when they know better and then bet against the person they loaned the money too so as to maximize their own profit... when the guy cant continue making payments because they lied to the poor sob who believed them to be telling him the truth...who is to blame? ...the greedy banker asshole speculators are to blame and the big corporations are right there with them and useing all their power and influence to continue taking advantage of the system and someone needs to stop them.
No in the UK that is the Bank of England ...a government run machine. The two banks that were taken down and were bailed out by the Government in the UK, bought other banks that had hidden debts. That was not speculation it was not doing their homework.

Be well IAN 2411
