Here he is, the men from the Projects. I told you Mathjack, you can leave the Projects but the Projects can NEVER leave you. You can have all the money in this world and still you will always be that guy from the Projects.
All your life you have been obsessed with money, chasing money but MONEY is NOT the only thing in life that gives us meaning. Why are we, today, SLAVES OF DEBT, slaves of the banks? Because we think of success only in terms of the QUANTITY of our possessions.
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?
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….
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.
I educate myself on playing the cards I am dealt , not complaining endlessly about the dealers..or everything and everyone I can for my own personal lack of financial success by sitting on the sidelines .

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.
