you're a retail banker, stfu and get back to the teller's window
I love it. "Get back to the teller's window" That's a good one.
I'm still laughing.
Haha replaced by an atm. Outsouced via automation.
Well, since it is all about you, I guess everyone can go home.
When I shut my eyes ... Everything stos
ok. hopefully you are happy with the living conditions within the country.
What do u mean?
wake up and look at the condition of the country. the debt, the wars, homeless people. in the 50's and 60's there were almost no homeless people.
Wait, what? Where did you get that statistic from? (the homeless one)
when i grew up in the 50's and 60's you didn't have homeless people like you have now. there were surely some but not on the scale we have now.
So what you quoted as fact, was in truth, anecdotal rhetoric?
Just making sure.
google it if you think its inaccurate.
How old were you in the 50's and 60's?
old enough
2 or 3 is not old enough.
correct
We need to cut spending on these entitlement programs .... That will solve debt
No...the throats of shit like you...bankers...corrupt politicians...hedge fund investors and wall street...should be cut...you are a waste of semen and worthless piece of shit!
I used to work at a hedge fund... U are very angry for a liberal ... I enjoy provocing you ...
Your bubble is bursting...credit bubble. Better short those financials, s and p --futures just downgraded your job
Its all good bro
So we cut spending on entitlement programs...now millions can't eat. What does that solve?
Shouldn't make promises we cannot keep ... Govt is not an efficient allocator of resources .... Cut does not mean eliminate ... I am in favor of the 2 wars as well and wouldn't mind if we went to war vs Iran ... I should note I voted for George w. Bush 2x ... And McCain
If you're man enough to advocate for war, you're man enough to die fighting it. The military needs people who are good with finance; the Pentagon loses 5 billion dollars at a time! Go serve the military that you love so well and stop being a hypocrite. Fight and die for the causes you believe in. That's what we do.
My wife just asked if you're for WWIII with Iran, if it's on our soil as well. Would you support the war if we were being nuked and invaded by the Iranian military?
Yes ... If we are being invaded ... Of course
End game. New world order.
So your standpoint is that government entitlement is good for your corporations and the military, just not everyone else.
Famous troll you've found...best to just move on...nothing to see here.
Great, so you should be happy with the protests and potentially a (hopefully not bloody) revolution. Austerity measures and endless wars traditionally lead societies to collapse. This is a known quantity from history.
I am not in favor of your "history" and "ideas" and "decency".
I wish for a different outcome that ignores everything in the past.
(sorry to be sarcastic)
I am not in favor of entitlements for corporations ... People have to realize corporations are formed to make profits .... Nt formed to hire lazy union emplyees
So, just exactly how long has it been since you've become deprived of your conscience?
Why do I not have a conscience?
I read this post and 112 comments and all I can say is Monkeyboy69 sure is lucky to have so many people donate time in an attempt to educate him. But I can see from his reply's that he is ignorant and he's determined not to let the facts get in his way.
You are liberal garbage
Your a teller working for slave wage. Research the banking industry then you won't be so proud.
Not work for investment bank ... Have for a while .... Banks have multiple benefits ... Not sure what research you have done
All kind of low life jobs have multiple benefits. When you write I am a Bankster, I work at a bank and I am proud you really show your ignorance.
How am I ignorant? Please enlighten me .... Feel free to take your money out of banks .... Cut up your credit cards ... Financial system provides numerous benefits
I see a lot of good people already wasted there time trying to educate you. You keep whoring for the 1% you'll get your enlightenment. But I can tell it's going to take a while. Your still going through the "know it all stage" you'll mature beyond that some day if your lucky. You might not though, you display a real devotion to your ignorance.
Please tell me how I am ignorant ... I like how u have all the answers ... I am in the 1%
I don't intend on trying to teach you anything. Like I said I read enough comments to figure out you won't be doing any learning anytime soon. I'm just having a few laughs poking fun at your dumb ass
I am havn laughs at yours as well
[Removed]
No, if you work at a bank, you are not a bankster. This refers to the higher ups, the owners and those who collude to rip off the public through unethical or illegal means.
A real banker is likely to know that the word is "banker".
Bankster is a term the liberals use.
I have historically voted Republican and I use it. This is not a Liberal/Conservative topic. This is a 99%/1% topic
Thank u for reading th entire 112 comments ... I am in fact the one trying to educate you
lol
U have displayed u have zero knowledge of the economy , financial system or corporations .... U are just any crackpot OWS person ... Stop whining and go back to your parent basement
Really you got all of that from what I wrote? Now you are a Psychic, impressive. You being the financial genius and all tell me; If I bought you for what your worth and sold you for what you think your worth how much could I earn?
[Removed]
I was hoping for some verse
No...correction...you are a waste of semen...your parents should be arrested for birthing you..you piece of worthless shit!
Very mature ... What do u do for a living that u feel is so noble?
Scour the u.s.a. for creatures that hide in cracks and crevices...like yourself and the top 2%...to rid the other 98% of rodent infestation and fleas! Sacrifice your life for the 2% and commit suicide and do the 98% a favor..thats equality...you fuck. Die painful.
Ok, you are just another OWS ass hole ... Go fukk yourself... U chose to be in the 99% ... That is you problem ... probably another on of these OWS crackpot who believes in socialism .... Go eat a dikk
cowards like you....hide behind computers....stir shit up....and...tuck your dick....like bitches! Wish...i....could be locked in a jail cell with your punk ass!
I read all of the comments on this post and I could tell how mad this guy made you. But all in all he's just another brainwashed dumb ass who should be reading instead of writing. don't let it get you down. By the time the bankers he works for are done pimping him the fire him and some dumbass will take his place by then he will have wised up and he'll be on our side.
Lol....yo.
Tough talk from another liberal ... What would do... Hit me with you Mac book? ... U are just another liberal pussy
You might be worth 7 years
Correction...ex con.... Served 11 years....find somebody .....like your mommy or daddy...or...boyfriend to play with!
Good so u cant vote to change anything ... Have fun protesting ... Unfortunately u can't vote for Obama who should be more of a focus of your anger
I am ugly and I'm proud!
What's it like being paid to smile for a living and secretly hating the public you serve?
I'm researching a pamphlet on sociopathic lowlives in the financial industry. . . .
What is it like to be completely clueless ... I am not researching a pamphlet though
Better than being a happy slave for a bank I imagine.
U r the slave
Explain just how you can manage to be proud of this 7.7 TRILLION Dollar THEFT?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1dkZShYP78
Lent does not mean theft. It is a pretty basic concept.
It's theft without congressional approval.
Fed does not need approval to print
They will after this 7.7 TRILLION scam becomes widely known. They are about to have there balls chopped.
Freerepublic is even pissed, there will be hell to pay.

You are a banker until you get a pink slip, banks will do that to get more profits!!
I don't hold that against them it is a corporation
I agree...I see just as many Republicans disgusted by how the banks got bailed out as Democrats. On that topic there is unity
Bail Out Banks, what about Bailling Out People? with $ 700 Billion Bailout to US Financial Institution divided by number of 2.5 Millions Homes foreclosed, Banks Got $ 280, 000 per House and people became Homeless: Continue the Movement untill THEY get the message.
I am a gankster.
We don't hate banks. We dislike the idea that when investment banks do well the profit is private, but when they mess up the mess is public.
Go read the "Creature from Jekyll Island".Then tell me you are proud. You have been working for Satan himself. But you don't know any better. I am 50 yrs old, took me a long time to figure out how bad I have been screwed. You are probably much younger, so in a way, if you listen , you are smarter than me.I have done many things in life I am ashamed of too, it's ok, confession is healthy. Don't believe Fox News, or any of the media, open your eyes and heart to the truth, and make your own decisions
You are entitled to your opinion ... I am around your age as well... Think people who feel they are owed something or doing nothing should be ashamed
Well, if you are my age, we have been robbed and enslaved. People have been somewhat enslaved since early civililization. We have had the wool pulled over our eyes. I thought America was a Christian nation founded on Godly principles. Boy have I been had! I have worked since I was 14 and right now have nothing to show for it.It's kind of sad in life, the older you are, the wiser you are.. Wish we could live life backwards. God Bless you Monkey Boy!
I don feel enslaved ... I feel robbed o an extent when the bottom 50% pay no taxes ...
Good for you, I do not work at a bank.... I'm. Proud as well.
No no no, banisters aren't real people, they are soul less vampires, completely different to the common man. Ows hate it when one actually puts a face to the term. Mass generalisation makes it so much easier to hate.
Union employees are souless as well

Another Monkey banker ass hole
Another Monkey banker ass hole
F__k Yourself!!!!!
Why?
Sorry, I shold not have posted that.
Do you work for an investment bank, a small local bank, a credit union, what type of a bank do you work for?
Do you think we need to reinstitute Glass Seigal, (Probably spelled that wrong but if you work for a bank you should know what I am talking about)
Investment bank
No. But I also think banks should be allowed to fail. I was opposed to Tarp
If Investment banks can take money from ordinary people saving & checking accounts and gamble it on dirivitives then al we are doing is allowing them to continue cycles of bust. If we let them fail on bad best then we should not allow them to do with everyday peoples money.
Investment funds need to be separated form normal savings, checking.
People loose their savings, IRS, etc.
When the glass-segal act was over turned under Clinton we gave investment bank to pol normal saving, retirement accounts etc with darivitive funds, etc.
People didn't seem to mind when it help facilitate the mortgage market
If you're a low level employee, you're NOT a bankster. The term is only used to describe the higher ups who make policy.
I do not think it is ever useful or just to term other factions derisively.
I want to refer to republicans as bozos, but I don't because name-calling is childish and since fascists always use it.
You should always think it over when you find yourself using the tactics of people you don't respect.
oh Another ass hole
oh Another ass hole
http://occupywallst.org/forum/differences-between-conservative-and-liberal-ideol/
we are proud of you too, it isn't your fault that your bosses are irresponsible, you should be proud to be employed, and if you are employed by a "too big to fail" cartel, you should only be ashamed of your employer's behavior.
I am not ashamed at all

Aristotle on usury
July 13, 2010 by FauxCapitalist
Aristotle, one of the fathers of Western thought, wrote in his 350 B.C. work, Politics, in Book One, Part X, that usury is the lending of money at interest:
“The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of an modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural.“
Today, usury has been taken to mean the lending of money at some arbitrary “exorbitant” rate of interest. Traditionally, however, it has been viewed as the lending of money at any interest rate.
Great ... Thanks for that.
Hey jerk off. The term "bankster" means you are a crook who rips off honest Americans. Why don't you turn yourself into authorities, if there are any who aren't in your hip pocket?
Stop whinning
Don't talk about Mr. P like that.
I get yelled at for that.
How do I rip people off ... Please explain .
You tell us since you are a self-described bankster.
I don't. None of us do.
I am the Lizard King. I can do anything.
Just because u work @ a bank that doesn't necessarily mean you personally rate a bankster pin, sorry.
sorry lost the conversation:
The book which shows the flashing numbers of our National debt and deficit
http://usdebtclock.org
Of what?
I favor corporations ... I want lower taxes .... Less entitlements .... Free markets ... I honestly do not care aout the environment ... I eat meat .. I dont mind if corporations move jobs abroad because corporations are setup to make profits and as a shareholder that is what I want ... I also try to avoid purchasing goods or services from companies that are heavily unionized (ford, GM, us air carriers)
I know lot's of banker people (real downtown) ... most don't qualify for 1% ... they just work for the 1% ... so does the coffee shop on the corner ... so what.
Question is if you recognize the rigged system and think it should change.
I do not think the system is rigged
since you are a banker you'll appreciate these cool charts. http://www.businessinsider.com/what-wall-street-protesters-are-so-angry-about-2011-10?op=1
if that doesn't convince you coming from businessinsider.com I give up.
wow great charts
here's another cool link ... interactive historical wealth concentration map ... pass it around
http://www.stateofworkingamerica.org/pages/interactive#/?start=1917&end=1924
http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequality-in-america-chart-graph
How does inequality mean rigged ? It s a free system. U can start a biz and become an entrepreneur
The income inequality arises from corporations using their money to control the political process and policy writing. The game is not only rigged, its being run by those that benefit most from it. How can you not know this? The heads of nearly every regulatory agency and advising committee are current or former executive officers of the agencies they regulate.
it's not inequality that's the biggest issue ... we've always had that ... and if not too skewed it's actually insporational ... it's lack of social mobility that's the problem (that's what I mean by rigged) .... see at the bottom of the charts
I looked ... Didn't see anything out of whack
You work at a bank. Are you the CEO or are you an AVP at a branch?
Investment bank ... Not commercial
So what do you do?
Trade derivatives
Then you probably are correct in identifying yourself as a bankster. You sound like a punk high-frequency trader who front-runs honest investors ripping off pennies a second in high volume. On the other hand, you may simply be a faceless scumbag who is trying to be provocative so you can tell your fellow banksters next week that you got your rocks off ragging #OWS.
Not the former ... But the latter actually ... At work we read the posts of the crazies from OWS and laugh
and do you work in a branch or head office
Head office
assets or Liabilities
Work In investment banking arm ....nothing to do with commercial banking
derivatives?
Yes ... Also non derivatives
you are just the guy I was looking for
whats that US $ 644 Trillion of currency and credit derivatives on our book?
The book which shows the flashing numbers of our National debt and defict
Which book?
Bankster or mid level drone. Hope its not bac they're going to need another bail out tomorrow. Too big not to fail. Zombie banks using mark to market accounting cooking them books like enron until the euro busts. See u at the protests when you lose your job bud.
Cool
WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA dude, you can't like, smoek weed in the bank, can you broski?
whoa man, we smoke soooooo much weed while walking down wall street. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA dude, i'm high as FUUUUUUUUk
Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:
http://getsatisfaction.com/americanselect/topics/on_strategic_legal_policy_organizational_operational_structures_tactical_investment_procedures
Join
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StrategicInternationalSystems/
because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link above, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link, so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for by e-mail from the group in the 2nd link, and then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the strategy of the 1st link as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your Occupation & Generation.
Have no intention of getting
"Occupied by Legality/Jargon/Lots of reading"
I love you, but obviously no one has taught you to READ and THINK critically (in the the 1st link above) before you respond LOGICALLY, not EMOTIONALLY. Peace is the absence of emotion, and so is good judgment. And please don't respond with yet another insult just because I criticized your critical thinking abilities, for this only damages your reputation, not mine.
simplify your message so he understands it. the idea is interesting and would probably work
why would I insult you?, I cracked a joke, you may want to go back and read . .umm .. what was that about responding logically and emotionally :D
My apologies, when you said "no intention", I misinterpreted, sorry.
Accepted . .you sorta lost me at the first comma between proactive and reactive the difference being old and new, business & government intermingling being the crux of the problem :P
Paradox is the heart of truth when comes to proactive vs reactive. Nevertheless, I hope you'll join the group in the 2nd link cited so that we can further empower ourselves, for there are always long-term alternatives to short-term problems, if we know where to find each other, right?
purely intellectual pursuits are fun and best enjoyed when the roof isn't caving in, some times a mans gota do what mans gota do, cause thats what his heart tells him
Tear down the Wall
and when the dust settles, we will figure it out, all interest free of course
