Taking a Stand with our Dollars | 0
As a consumer, the best thing that I can do to show corporations that I agree or disagree with their business practices - from how well you pay and treat your workers to the impact your business has on the environment - is to use my dollars in support, or in boycott, against your company. And so, where does your company stand? Life isn't about short-term profit (greed) at the expense of morality- investing in local economies, providing livable wages and safe working conditions, doing everything you can do to minimize your business' impact on the environment. Let this be notice, that as a middle-class, tax-paying citizen of the U.S., I will no longer put my money in products or services that are not in line with living in a more just, sustainable world. William Burgess New York, NY 10033
Trickle-down doesn't work. | 0
Lobbying for bail-outs for banks and big businesses will no longer work. Your businesses can't operate without workers, and your workers can't afford basic needs. Time to throw some crumbs out to Main St. before a 3rd party ousts the two you bought out. Jennifer Lilienthal Stockbridge, MA 01262

To the 1% | 0
This country has given you great opportunity & you have abused it and the other 99% of your fellow citizens. Instead of sitting on huge piles of money, most of it coming at the expense of that 99%, you need to be helping this country build it's economy & creating real jobs. After all you're "the job creators". Let's see it happen. Don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what can I do for my country! Carlene Steel Leander, TX 78641-8681
Worse Than Terrorists | 0
Your corporate greed and chase of the dollar almost succeded, in achieving where the terrorists have failed, in destroying this great country. GOD BLESS AMERICA. With demons such as yourselves controlling this country we need all the blessings we can get. At least some of the terrorists are driven by their distorted ideology as opposed to being driven by your immoral greed. Oswaldo 19602
Greed | 0
It is appalling how little responsibility those who are greedy can accept. The populace will eventually rise up and the wealthy will be the target. STand up and be responsivle now, before the "little people" revolt. It happens in every country where the rich get richer at the expense of the poor. Pat Felter Dallas, TX 75206

Dear Bank Executive, Even if everything your bank does is legal, it doesn't mean it's right. One in every 6 Americans lives in poverty. What have you done to help? Deb 20912

Your message here. Tell Wall Street how you feel. What are you waiting for to wake up ... put the brain God gave you inside your hear ... zip it up secure so it does not fall out again ... and START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! The 99% is going broke because of your lack of brain power ... what are we going to buy your ¨products and services¨ with if we are broke? What are we going to use as collateral if you reposes our homes and refuse to pay us a decent salary? How is money going to circulate in the economy if you are hugging it all? ARE YOU ALL THAT EGO-STUPID? WAKE UP STUPID!!! Margaret G. Rego Lares, PR 00669-1456
bank executive bonuses | 0
I don't believe any of you deserve bonuses. Your job is to suck money from me, and I reject you. Your job is deserving of nothing above a base, minimal salary. Now, back in the day, your job was actually useful. Now it has changed--as I said, it is to suck money from me. I don't appreciate your preying, predatory ways. Your greed has far surpassed the normal human instinct for selfishness. Quit handing out bonuses to people who produce nothing and quit giving out golden parachutes to idiots who ruin your industry and are forced out...must I go on? Cheyenne Sage 98126
Destroyed Pensions | 0
After working 34yrs., at a physically demanding Job, my defined benefit Pension is in jeopardy because of Wall Street and Corporate Greed. If Wall Street can get bailed out , and then give bonus's to themselves for trashing the economy, why can't hard working citizens ,who played by the rules , get bail out on their Pension's and 401k's.

Our current financial system is rigged to keep the world's wealth in the top 1% of people. It is not a fair, free-market system where everyone has equal access to capital. It is rigged, and that is the plain truth. It is shameful that we live in a country where some of the wealthiest people in the world can drive by a homeless person who has nothing. Statistically speaking, that homeless person did not have the same opportunities as the wealthy person. Enough with the greed. We need to work together so that everyone has the same opportunities for a safe, financially secure life. Monica Bond VT 05055
What if the shoe were on the other foot? | 0
I am ok with the amount I make a year, which is well under 50k, however I am not okay with the amount of money taken away from me each week from taxes. Taxes you and your business may very well avoid. Taxes that support issues I really have little say on due to loopholes in our law making system, that really are set up to serve you, to make sure you keep your money. It's really messed up, karma is a bitch. Just sayin, we're speaking up in unprecedented number....I'd start to rethink things. It's not like you can hide from the top, so start acting right. And by right I mean more left. Jessica Gildea doylestown, PA 19103
Goodbye! | 0
Your wealth and power have wrecked our economy and our environment, corrupted our courts, perverted our democracy, and turned out foreign policy into a murder machine. And then you reward yourselves with fat bonuses. For our sake and the world's, disappear! Kerby Miller Columbia, MO 65203

To Our Esteemed Business Leaders and Politicians:" I have worked hard for 20+ years to put my daughter through college. Now that she stands poised to Graduate with high honors and a degree in chemistry that will culminate in a phd, her prospects for gainful employment are very limited. US pharmeceutical companies like Pfizer have moved all of their research laboratories to India. So in this global economy not even the most highly skilled jobs requiring the most adavanced education are safe from outsourcing. I understand that you would all like to be classified as multinationals and as such have no allegiance or resposibility to anything other than profit. My question is where do you think you are taking our country and it's standard of living if you now export even our most highly skilled jobs to Asia and elsewhere? Is the unabated lust for coporate profit really the only determinant when you make decisions that will continue to dismantle our commercial and industrial base? What will be left for us and our children ! to do? Please answer me. Thank you. George Catarineu 11205

I had two credit cards with B of A that I always paid on time, usually twice a month, often in full. This wasn't good enough for BofA who decided that if the payment was made twice it must be late (they figured the payment that came after the due date was late rather than early...) After a couple of these instances and my phoning to correct their math and have the late charges reversed, they raised the interest rate. Then on the card with the lowest limit I went over the limit for a couple days without realizing it and then called them immediately to inform them of the mistake and pay it down. This was also not good enough for BofA who increased the interest rate on that card to 30%... So I paid off that card,(lucky enough to be able to) kept the account open and never used it again, except for tiny amounts that were immediately paid off. Why? Because the way the system is rigged the more credit available to me, the better my credit rating is... So, this is how I use BofA now. Plus I closed my checking account with them. Thank you for hearing my tragic tale with a somewhat happy ending. Pauline Schneider 10536

HOw about the celebrities and athletes. They are just as much to blame. Regular people can not afford to enjoy going to a game because it is ridiculously expensive. They have box seats for the corporations at $1,000.00 a ticket. Please let these celebrities and athletes take some of the blame too. They deserve it. NBA is on strike because 11 million a year is not enough for them. Diane Bradsell 10506
The despair of the 99% of the country | 0
I am 75 years old and never in my lifetime have I seen such despair and hopelessness in so many. I have taught kindergarten in 6 states, rich and poor and in the middle. For the 99% of the families,they are in such distress as they try to make ends meet. I have seen 5-yr. olds go home to an empty house with a key around their neck to get in because both parents have to work two jobs or more and they can't afford daycare. The preassure on families is unbearable and the children often are so stressed that they don't know what to do. Meanwhile, as if that is not enough, schools are crumbling, classes are becoming unmanageably large and teachers are being laid off. My question to you, is how do you sleep at night. The top 1% is responsible for so much misery or don't you care? Sharon Mascdonald Sheffield, MA 01257

It is my sincerest desire that Wall Street business people will 'open' to the truth of their misplaced behaviour in how they are shamefully treating people and the environment. I pray for you all to have the courage and the dynamism to become honest and caring. helen mittelman m2r3t1
Tax corporations and the rich | 0
Do as Warren Buffett states. We're all in this Democracy together, but the public knows leadership is heading quickly toward autocracy/plutocracy, and wants to reverse this trend, no matter what their political affinities are. The constitution never said corporations were a person, and this status WILL change. We the people are making that happen, to curtail the usury, escalating greed, and power of corporations, so they can no longer buy government off for their own benefit. The economy will only grow again if its people feel their needs (not wants) are comfortably met and they don't feel threatened by financial insecurity. It is in the corporations and governments best interest to be stewards of these basic tenets. Ilse Funk Cherry Valley, NY 13320
Hi Tom, do you want to go for coffee and chat? | 0
Hey Tom, How are you. I would love to be your new best friend. Maybe you can help me get out of credit card debt. You know I never had bad credit until the banks started changing the rules. I always tried to live by the golden rule. Do you like the golden rule? I know you probably do not know much about the 99%. For the most part we are decent folks who played by the rules and are struggling and realizing their American dream is gone. It seems you and the other bankers gambled with peoples money and then got bailed out by the government and then all these Americans got hurt in the aftermath. The thing is you can fool people for a while but then they figure it out and they get angry. DId you know this could happen? I think it is great that the 99% are finding their voice. You bankers had to make them very angry. So I want to thank you because I have been frustrated that no one noticed what was happening. You might have gotten a little too greedy and power hungry. You and your buddies in Washington tried to pin it on the greedy union workers and greedy lazy teachers and it worked for a while and wow it is amazing how spending money on lawyers and think tanks really helps you fool people. The “tea party movement”, now that was a brilliant move on your part as well. Come on, I know a smart guy like you must of thought that up! It is so darn clever to make it look like “the people are angry” and get them mad at the president for their troubles when you and the likes of the Koch brothers are manipulating the whole thing. Smart. Sorry that you got caught. So I would love to hear back from you. I really would love some wealthy friends. I can’t afford to do dinner but we can get a coffee and chat at McDonald’s, it is a dollar for any size coffee. Cheers, Michelle
Are you feeling any Fear yet? | 0
Are you feeling any Fear yet? You should be. The masses have woken up to your fraud. Your crimes against humanity are immense. If I were you, I would participate in an expose to out the few men you actually answer to.
Foreclosure | 1
Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for foreclosing on my home after I lost my job. And for denying me a mortgage reduction because #1 I made too much money, then #2 I didn’t make enough money. What goes around, comes around and I sure hope it comes to visit you and your friends.
