BANKED ALIVE


US banks' profits hit a record $42.2 billion in the second quarter-reuters.com

 Jobs that require you to have direct deposit: you're the one working, so they should pay you directly. Why do you have to deal with a middle man? Mind you that the middle man is going to want a cut. Also, the middle man is investing your money, in which he will be the larger beneficiary.

They changed currency from gold and silver to paper (or a legal tender, i.e not real money). Nowadays people rarely carry that paper; today, it's on your plastic card in your wallet or pocketbook. Notice how our money is moving further away from our hands and closer to the hands of bankers, who invest our money and make billions. They're laughing at us all the way to the bank. Wait, they're already at the bank. So, they're laughing at us all the way to the Yacht yard. Think about it!

I remember a point when having a bank account was optional. SHIT...not anymore. But you see, this is a way for banks to obtain the funds they use for investing. We give them dollars and they turn them into billions. They say that they are providing you with services. Is that so...

"Checking account overdraft fees have jumped during the past two years, despite an effort by regulators to rein in aggressive practices by banks, according to new reports by two nonprofit groups.

Although the basic overdraft fee of $35 hasn’t changed in two years, banks have imposed other harsh penalties on consumers for minor lapses, the papers said."-The Washington Post

If I'm broke, I don't need someone to charge me for being broke. Banks charge a fee if you have your account below their requirement. What the fuck!

We have been forced to deal with banks, and those mother fuckers are loving every minute of it. Think about it!
