Publicanus

The world is getting weirder.  The supreme court has decided that corporations haven’t enough clout in elections.  The Fed is fixing to make sure that your 401-K and IRA are in their capable hands.

We are becoming one of Mr Robbs hollow states faster than you can blink an eye.  The corporations are making a naked power grab and now want to make sure that the government hands over your money for them to administer.

So, in light of all this, I would venture a guess that anyone who keeps their money in a bank where the corporations and the government can get at it is a fool.

If I had any extra money...it wouldn't be in a bank! I stopped using brick and mortar banks many years ago!

Big Business wins again! But where is the righteous uproar... I don't hear anything, do you?

I find this Supreme Court decision a big downer. Bad news. "I hope we shall [...] crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." --Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1816; "The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain." --Thomas Jefferson to Larkin Smith, 1809.
