Reply #26: Our organizations aren't banks of course [View All]

[PATRICK]

but just as the unions becoming shareholders puts them on the internal battleground to force social responsibility so too does the use of liberal organizations force the banks and the flow of money away from pure profiteering against our interests. Let's face it. The More money that gets delegated the more you have to oversee it in an era of compromised government. Can you trust Ben and Jerry forever? The AFL-CIO? Remember what happened to other bloated advocacy groups once infiltrated or grown hidebound and compromised.

It is the sign of an aware and active populace added to a shifting of funds away from the pyramid game that is the double kick. Easy to do at first but you have to keep at it critically. I would be nervous if some of the cards became huge banks moreso than if they effected begrudging social awareness on the part of existing banks(with an eye to counterattack and corruption of course). Meanwhile the more that fight back by switching the more the balance will be affected. Working Assets giving phone calls to Congressman free is something you won't see AT&T doing.

Our credit union uses banks for qualifying home mortgages, but everything around that is consumer friendly or else and the money serves the membership.
