This is something where a lot of us can make a difference!

boycott big banks

That is a great concept. I'm not only for BOYCOTTING the big criminal
banks because that is exactly what they are, I have already done it.

In the last couple years, I moved everything to a local Washington state
bank and a local credit union and the last was a major US Bank account
that is being closed and is also moving over to a credit union. I'm just waiting
for one automatic deposit to show up in the credit union account and that
big bank account is history!

I typed in my area code in that website and it only came back with banks.
I wonder how to see ratings of credit unions. They're safer and more
conservative than banks and are usually locally owned...at least in my
area they are, but that site didn't list any credit unions... just banks.

the game of monopoly

Yes, Kevin and Aaron, I agree .. a local bank is better.

Better than staying with those taking bail-outs.

The root of the issue / problem has nothing to do with the banks.
It has to do with how the game is being played.

Hear Vic Beck explain the root problem better than I,
Video: Vic Beck on Monopoly and Commerce

If you create a cup for ABC company and get paid by ABC company
$1.00 to create it. That cup must sell
for at least $1.00 to break-even. You have deductions in pay and
take home $0.75. The cup has mark-up and sale tax and sells for $1.50
You created the cup, but only have $0.75 to purchase that $1.50 cup.

Roughly, everyone's take home pay is only 50% of the money required
to purchase everything everyone creates. That's the problem...

It never has been or ever was a matter of getting a better job or paid more money
A Better job or More money is the illusion and fantasy.

Do watch the video to understand of what it is I'm trying to speak of.

The Story from the Cup is only one Side of the Story.
Its actually only, that you have to make 2 Cups, that you can buy one,
and you have to work more, when the Screw is turned harder, but still reach the Target.
But you actually think, hey, i do something, i make Cups, its all not my fault.

But the bigger Problem comes with the Money, where are Interest on it.
When the Banks inject 1000 $ into the Market, they have Interest on it,
which is not in the Marktet, but you shall pay it back,
but this Interest is not at the Circulation, so the Bank have to give more Money.

This Credits for Gouvernments are long-term Credits with a Interest of 1-2%.
Someone can argue, there is usual a regulation from Gouvernment with the Banks
for this Difference and Forex, Trading with other countrys.

But for one, at other Countrys is the same Spiral set up there, there is money injected into the Market,
but without the Interests, what still should be payed back.

An other Argument, what some 'Experts' use, is when you have Capital,
you bring it to the Bank, and get Interests for it from the Bank.
Thats why its called Capitalism.
This Interests should equal to the Interests, what the Gouvernment needs to
pay back her big Credit for the Economy.
Thats why ie Germany has gouvernment-runned Bussines, where it has a Monopol on it, like selling Butter.
The Gain from this Business should only be used, to pay back only the Interests primary.
But remember, this Interests been not given to the Market, so it allways must been taken from somewhere else.
And the FED is the only Bank, what can create or give out new Money.

And the second is, when you put Capital to the Bank, you only get half from Interests,
what you have to pay for a Credit.
This Money what is Capital at the Bank can be lend from the Banks 10 Times or more to others,
where they can request double from Interests, as what they have to give out for the actual Owner from this Money.
10 Times more often lend with double Interests.
That creates new Interests, what still are not at the Market,
but the Market should pay it back without having it.
The natural Resources, what the Market use for that, are free,
but this dont create new Money, new Money can only create the Bank.

And thats why, this System crash every 80 Years, because there are Values made,
what simple are not at the Circulation.

The Monopoly Game is actually only a Illusion, because at the Real Life,
it is, all Time, when you go over Start,
you dont become 2000Bucks in your Bag, but you have to pay 2000 Bucks Interests.

That's the first thing I noticed too, Aaron. I have always used credit unions for my accounts. At least you know who the owners are (the members).

Here's a link that offers credit union ratings, as well as bank ratings:
