of the people withdrew their accounts from each of those banks that had taken part in all those
corrupt and crooked dealings, these overbearing and arrogant executives would be begging for
help!

I imagine that many people don't even know of the existence of "credit unions." I never heard
of them until about 2 years ago. (Although I realize how important money is, I am not too
interested in the business world. I find that kind of work boring).

A credit union functions exactly as a bank does. EXACTLY! The main difference is that anyone
who joins them, also becomes a part-owner of it - automatically. They pay a somewhat higher
interest than the banks do. Your account with anyone of them is also covered by the FDIC,
just like any bank account.

There are all kinds of credit unions: such as Federal credit unions for the military, for
veterans and Federal employees. Then there are state, county and local credit unions that
people living within certain areas can join, there are also other credit unions with
different requirements for membership.

Look up "credit unions" in Google to find the one you like best.

This is one area where older, retired people (I am one) can take active part in striking back
at those crooked bankers. Take your money out, and put it into a credit union, where it is
also covered by the FDIC, and is just as safe. And, as said above, credit unions do everything
that a bank does. What is there to lose?

The trouble is, many people don't even know that credit unions exist. So, spread the word,
please. This seems to be one hell of a good way to bring down those arrogant international giant
bankers, and make sure that they will never be able to rob the American people with those
dirty and crooked deals again.

People having accounts with smaller banks, just stay put. They haven't done our nation any
harm. We are not against banks in general. We're against only the crooked ones that have
been robbing us for close to two decades. The time for their come-uppance has come!

A penny for your thoughts.
