You are clueless and you only know how to talk about money. You are obsessed with money. You really must be one miserable human being.

Honoring the quantity of our possessions breeds a race of thieves, embezzlers, and cheats, and criminals, since the outcome, the possessions, is the goal that is honored. What are you Mathjack?

Good Luck!
Jesus what planet are you from?

That's what I was wondering.


Some people need to read a book 'How To Revoke Your Bank's License To Steal'.






The problem isn't the banks per se, it's the fact that education is lacking, particularly in the economics of compound interest and amortization. You can make those things work *for* you, or *against* you. It's a choice.


Couple that lack of education with the fostering of the 'easy credit' gottahaveitnow mentality, not learning how to save and delay gratification until you actually have the money for what you want, the 'Consumer Mentality' and you get a whole lot of people in debt buying things they don't need to impress people they don't like just to 'keep up with the Joneses'.

Says someone who if I remember said his parents were wealthy and now you live off that dough and don’t need to even invest….

Take a look at the next credit card offer posted at that refinement of juvenile behavior called Microsoft "News":

The smiling face is always young, predominately white, usually female, and depicted so as to display all the foresight of a six-year-old.

This is the mentality the the schlockmeisters of Madison Avenue love, and that got us where we are today.

Why do we allow trolls who are incapable of spelling - let alone understanding - economics start threads in the economics forum?

OP:.... "Why have we allowed the Bankers to be our Masters"
Why? Because that's where the wealth (money) is (Willy S. was a novice compared to Madoff, et al.)

One can become the Master or the other alternatives of choice.

Banks and Corprations have passed countries and ideologies for importance. China and the US are totally dominated by corporate giants. You don’t have to look beyond your cellphone.
