I would like to think you are willing to change... | 0
But chances are you have already made up your mind that we just don't understand. I hope you have a chance to step out of your bubble and see the effect your company's policies are having on this country from the bottom up. christopher fagnant chicago, IL 60647
The rules under which we operate | 0
Free enterprise is supported in the United States, not because it is a good in itself, but because it generally supports the welfare of people. It is not a religion. It needs justifying. The disastrous effect of de-regulation on our national and the global economies makes it morally imperative that the rules of operation we had before be re-instated, and strengthened. Your opposition to this necessity, your profiting from the turmoil, and your refusal to eschew the risky policies that led to our present troubles, make it necessary for us to change the rules under which you operate. The lack of moral integrity in your boardrooms has now set this process in motion, and your response to it will affect the business climate in the coming decades. Please rethink your reactions to our crisis. Henry 97005

My annual gross wages after over 30 years of working in the same work place are under $50,000; but I am one of lucky ones. I still have a job although my work site has suffered layoffs, and I still have health care although my out of pocket portion has increased incredibly. It is costing me more and more to keep my money in a bank from rising fees. But again, that is nothing compared to people who I have come into contact with that have lost their jobs and need to file bankruptcy because the fees and late charges on their credit cards make it impossible to repay and their houses are no longer worth the balance owed on their mortgages which are in default. Is your ernormous wealth really worth destroying this country's opportunity for all citizens - for those less fortunate and the future children who are not the offspring of multi millionaires and billionaires. Thank about it and maybe you will find a conscience. Suzanne Moschini 18014
Wall Street Accountability | 0
The American people have had enough of the Corporate greed that benefits the very wealthy only. Greedy Wall Street banksters wrecked Americas economy in 2008, actually gave themselves bonuses as if they did something wonderful, and were never held accountable. It's time to end the policy of "No Banker Left Behind", and get accountability from the Wall Street elites for the economic suffering of millions of Americans who paid the price for what the greedy banksters did. A REAL investigation, and PROSECUTIONS!!! This movement will continue to grow until that accountability occurs. We will NOT back down! Its time to "End Corporate Rule" and restore "Fair Elections" and REAL Democracy in 21'st century America! No longer will "We The People" allow big Corporations and the super rich to bribe our elected officials with big dollar donations, to get legislation written the way they want it. Jeff Morris 12477
The Times They are a Changin! | 0
The masses (thats us worker bees) are tired of the status quo and sickening greed and the top tier getting richer and richer thanks to us and our bailouts and our taxes that pave your roads and pay for the police and fire depts you enjoy among other perks--while we scrimp by...every year our benefits (if we have them) cost us more and provide us with less....the costs for our food and our needs go up, up and up, but our slaires dont keep up with the pace. Its tiem for some things to change...since our politicians either cant change things or are too bought and paid for to do so, we are making the change non optional....You will see that while we may not have the money, we have the numbers and when we pool our money and our will together that we do have power to make these things happen. We are ready for OUR bonuses..you know for the investment we made in bailing your greedy self serving behinds out of the fix you created...remember that? We do! We're still paying for it while you drive your beemrs to the latest fine dining establishment, likely putting the bill on your corporate charge card. Enjoy that perk while it lasts. max wineinger louisville, KY 40204
With love for Onewest Banksters and George Soros | 0
Ladies and Gentleman; I am amazed how your corporations have raped and robbed your fellow citizens so brazenly and without conscience or thought how your actions have affected their lives. Almost all of my money goes to pay for a predatory home loan to be able to shelter my wife, children and granddaughter. We can no longer afford the luxury of going to the doctor and cannot pay for medicenes so it is no wonder we are a little dismayed by your executive salaries, bonuses and pensions, and your hollow support for the Wall Street protesters Mr. Soros. We are not at all swayed by the money your now spending for advertising and are disgusted with the way your political contributions have our lawmakers beholden to you. Their is such as thing as acts being evil in themselves and there is a force that administers justice and am glad to see the public rising against you. Tim Davis Woodbridge, VA 22193
You can make the right choice | 0
I think the policies that your bank utilizes puts millions of people in a disadvantage. This country was built by a strong working class and now the foreclosure process, bank fees that your bank employs it destroying the working class. My parents were not well educated, didn’t have HS diplomas. They were however able to obtain union jobs and later sent 5 out of 6 to colleges that include Babson, Harvard, and the University of Chicago. They are being attacked for the hard work they did and pushed out of their homes. This isn’t right and you as an Executive can start the conversation on how to change this. If corporations can be seen as people, maybe corporations can create a conscious.
Compassion needed in banking | 0
Hello Ms. Bessant. My name is Kate Adler, and I chose to correspond with you because of what we share in common. I am also a Kathryn, and I see you live in NC; I was born in AL. Also, since moving to Syracuse, there is a strong connection to NC among our residents who spend the winters there! I want to write to you to describe the effects that immoral and unethical banking practices are having here in the middle class world. First, I understand that banks, like all businesses, must make money. I want people to be paid well for doing good work. But the past decade has been a profit-taking free for all based on unscrupulous lending, over-risky investments in bad mortgages, and too many paid trades resulting in risky, unethical trading. Second, I suggest banks return to the old fashioned practice of making money by lending it to those who need it, giving clear, legal, understandable information about the loan. Yes, I know banks make tons of money from fees, but I refuse to pay to get access to my money, which I am loaning you. Yes, debit card fees will push more people into using credit cards, but is that what you really want to do? Push people into taking 30% loans to get their own money? Push them into more debt, risking bankruptcy, homes and college funds so executives can take home another billion this year? I’m telling you none of these bank practices are acceptable, and I will not participate any more. My family has reverted to cash, and we are saving all our change for our child’s braces. Thank you for listening. I hope you take my message to heart.

How much is enough/ I feel it is so important that the privileged few understand that they are not an island, divorced from the lives of those around them, those who work for them, supply them, clean up after them. My sense is that the need to accumulate massive wealth and then hoard it is based on this primal type of fear that you are in some sort of danger. Without the buffer of all your money you will be vulnerable and at risk. Therefore you don't share your wealth with those who put you where you now are: The every day tax payer who bailed you out. You won't take the risk of lending the funds given to you so that you could help restart the economy. However, the tide of history has proven you are mistaken. You will not remain safe and protected unless and until you are willing to risk, willing to be apart of the American Democratic experiment that is a continually evolving process. Will it end here, with desperate people clinging to there money and power while the very structure that has spawned them crumbles leading to loss of all you have so tightly held onto? Hope not. The surest way that this won't happen and that we as a country will continue to thrive is that you loosen your grip, share some of your huge wealth and participate. This is the way to your own security, comfort and well being. You don't need it all. Let some of it go, keep what you need and be on with what is instead of one apart. mark & susan glasser LA, CA 90066-3202

Lack of Regulation | 0
Through overt lying to create triple A rated securities at the expense of the currently foreclosed and America's economy, Wall Street has quite literally brought down Main Street. Instead of fighting regulations that provide a framework to reduce malfeasance, understand why these regulations have been drafted in the first place: to protect the average American from disastrous greed that is blind to all things but positive numbers.
