  • No Credit for Our Small Business | 0  

    After the Bush Administration gave over 700 billion in taxpayer dollars to the largest banks, we couldn't find a single bank that would provide us with an SBA loan although the government was backing it 90%!  You take our money and won't even loan it back to us with interest.  Shame on you!
    
    The Congressmen who take donations from banks to legislate in favor of banks are criminals.  Thank God for the 99% of us who see through crap and have a grasp of the truth regardless of what the media wants us to know.  It's bought and paid for as well.
    
    Banks don't have our money, they have invested it overseas.  It's criminal, and it needs to be stopped!  I completely support the Occupy Wall Street movement.  We have no future without the truth.

  • Your Corruption & Bonuses Killed My Pension | 0  

    In 1999, my conservatively invested pension plan was in great shape. If I had thought about the nature of the people driving Wall Street, their recklessness and corruption, I would have put everything in a sock and under my mattress. Had I done that, I would have nearly twice the amount of funds in my plan as I do today. That, in my mind, is theft. Why haven't you all been prosecuted?

  • My Dollars Walked | 0  

    We just set up a new checking account moving our funds away from your greed. Now every penny of our meager funds are NOT in Citigroup, NOT in BofA, NOT in Chase and NOT in Sachs. Perhaps soon, you too will join us with meager funds, no job, and the only bonus is a friend inviting you to dinner.

  • Just saying ... | 0  

    You people and your ilk are blinded by your ungovernable and self-serving lust for power and riches. There isn't anything wrong with a little ambition, but you guys act like your gods on earth. Is there no end to your greed? Don't you care for your fellow human beings one iota? Don't you feel even a tiny tiny sense of public responsibility and virtue? Don't you know that happiness cannot be bought, and that all the options and pleasures money can buy aren't enough to fill your obviously empty and selfish souls? You are like Narcissus, and in the end, you'll drown in your own mirrors. 
    Unless you get your values in proper order quick, Bucko! Or We the People will show you what it means to be afraid and so so alone. We know where you live. And we can vote with out feet by taking all out money out of your accounts. And by God, the time for your atonement is at hand. May we support your growing desire to leave this country in any way? You aren't welcome here. You are not patriots, but evildoers who deserve what's coming to you. And believe us,
    it's coming! Coming to a theater near you. Unless you change your evil ways.

  • Got Game? | 0  

    We the 99% are tired of your gaming the system. Calculus is for engineers and should be used to build our future not crash our economy. If you want to gamble, ask The Donald to put you up in Atlantic City, or go to Vegas and play in the faux cities and run up your own debts -- not ours. You can run, but you can't hide anymore. Your citadel on the hill has lost its luster. Game's over.

  • You folks are greedy and were irresponsible | 0  

    What you Wall Streeters have done is rob people of 50 million jobs worldwide, robbed pensioners of 13 trillion dollars with your and have not been held accountable for any of it, all the while receiving bonuses; your engaging in buying toxic cdos rated AAA that had no one regulating them and ratings agencies in on it, along with the regulators looking the other way,  We are the 99% and you have got to go.

    Citibank holds my mortgage, and they have refused to re-finance my mortgage despite my credit score of 747 - in the top 10%.
    
    All banks have refused me re-financing, despite my high credit score & my NEVER having missed or LATE with mortgage payments since I bought my home 09/2003.
    
    I am a 65 yr. old, disabled, single woman, and my income has been radically reduced the past 2 years.  It's just a matter of time before I lose my home, despite doing everything right.
    
    I am one of the 99% and I am pissed beyond words!

  • The American Dream | 0  

    I determined it was dead on arrival after 25 years of solid hard work. I gave and gave to my employers and they reaped the benefits of my hard work. Instead of showing appreciation, I was let go. Sure word of mouth advertising outside the company led to other gigs, but the contribution I made and others as well were simply ignored by those profiting from it. This has been a growing trend for three decades. This trend is now coming to an end and a reckoning is at hand. Ignore it at your own peril. We are legion, we are strong, and we will not let this go on any longer.
