THE DOT - if this turns orange or red be alert

DC is obviously nothing but the platform creator for organized legalised robbery

Why should we pay or bail out (the banks) a system who's only aim is to rob the society on a legal framework and cannot survive on their own Ph.D. and MBA talent pool - the evidence is very clear they only can make the 'easy money' and there is no talent which needs to be paid.

All they do is to gather intel how to rob the system on a 'legal' scale

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Henry Ford

Well its about time that justice comes above the law since the laws are made by corrupt people who assist the robbery by allowing legal ways to take other people's hard earned wealth away in many ways. From fabricating false inflation numbers to allowing banks to srew their clients.

For the primary function of lending the privat bank sector is not required that could be done by the same computers who make the HF scam possible on bahalf of the FED if the FED was turned into a real Federal entity with the aim to serve the people. All this sophisticated fancy banking stuff is just a distraction from the fact that they want to do the same like the Mobsters in Las Vegas get your money.
