@rzxwm10 Do you know why we have regulations? It is so that businesses do not run amok and sell you shit products when you think you are getting good products. It has made better working conditions so people do not lose fingers when trying to make the things you buy. Do you honestly want to return back in those days without regulations? Do you want to work in factory that you can lose your life because the owner thought it was too expensive to put in some safety?

GOP Romney , won't release his taxes? Why? Like most billionaires, they pay less than you!

The GOP is a scam

The top second percent must feel so unappreciated, they screw us over plenty but never get the airtime the top one percent get.

ive been a credit union member for the last 12 years, ive never been a fan of corporate banks. but do a search for the citibank arrests, it DID happen.

@zombiegrease They still can't arrest you for taking YOUR money out. It is your money.....they may try to keep your money, but they can't do it!!!!! Find a local bank, look around and talk to people to see about the smaller banks. This will send them a big, big message!!!!

[zombiegrease]

@ljwoolley1 i had my details mixed up... it was citibank.

[ljwoolley1]

@zombiegrease  How could they have them arrested for taking their money out??? I think they tried to keep them from getting their money. So, far, I have heard around 60 million have.........

[zombiegrease]

@ljwoolley1 good idea... but didnt B of A have people arrested for trying that?

[TheSkunkCat]

How about we just kill the rich and take all the money back?

That seems like a pretty simple solution. Kill a few thousand bloated ticks who suck up all our wealth, and maybe the next would be profiteer will think twice.

And if anyone is stupid enough to guard these rich people, lets turn them into roadkill too.

Problem fucking solved.
