Take Control of your Money - Leave Bank of America

Closed my Bank of America account this morning and moved to a local credit union. 4 other people were there at 10am on Saturday closing their accounts too. Crazy.

Bank of America basic account = $6/mo
Debit card fee = $5/mo
Cashiers Check fee = $10 (My GROCERY STORE does it for $.50)

Bank of America 2010 profit = $10,400,000,000
Bank of America 2010 taxes paid = $0
Bank of America jobs lost in 2011 = 30,000+
Bank of America Bailout funds from TARP = $45,000,000,000

The other big banks:
J. P. Morgan Chase & Company 2010 profit = $17,400,000,000
Citigroup 2010 profit = $10,600,000,000
Wells Fargo = $12,400,000,000 (Record setting year)
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc = $9,600,000,000

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CREDIT UNION!!!!

Love these useless comments by people that are sticking up for banks like Jonathanseagull. No matter what you argue people are in the words of Twisted Sister: Not going to take it anymore! Watch some of these useless giants come to their knees. It will be fun to watch them crumble...

@oiledseabirds I can't say Mr Seagull's comments are useless haha. I dont think he is sticking up for the banks at all but rather helping us see the bigger picture. The Fed and our government are equally as guilty if not more guilty than the banks.

Here's how I look at it: The banks are drug addicts. The Fed is the drug dealer. And the government is the enabler. 

[oiledseabirds]

@kylehovance Or how I look at it. The Government is the Pimp and the Banks and Big Business are the hookers. People harassing the hooker will get snarled at and cleverly manipulated by the Pimp (government).

@oiledseabirds haha that is a great analogy... by the way great song... works great for your BP Oil video! Good stuff!

[oiledseabirds]

@JonathanSeagullUtube Yeah I agree and now let me go and listen to my favorite tune by Twisted Sister. We're not going to take it!  No! We're not going to take it anymore!

@JonathanSeagullUtube I look forward to that day brother Seagull

@kylehovance egg breaking happens when things such as national strikes nonviolent, widespread non-cooperation with the institutionalized thuggery occurs. by transferring, the golden eggs are being put in another bankster basket: its just a shell game right now, give it several months, things will get cracking...

@JonathanSeagullUtube couldnt agree with you more Jonathan... but if you want to make an omelette you gotta break some eggs

The "small credit unions" are involved in the fractional reserve scheme, same as the other banks. The credit unions also demand more money (interest) than they bring into existence (loans). This practice ALWAYS means someone can not payback their loan = financial terror...just because the credit unions appear to help more, locally, does not mean that having currency based on debt is a good thing...transferring your money WILL create a good stir for the banks, though!!!
