    Wow, this …
    Wow, this demonstration did a lot. I’m sure the CEO’s inside planning their next golfing trip in Hawaii really got rattled. Geeee, I bet this show kept them up all night. Wait, no it didnt. It didnt even spoil the first course of their meal that evening.

    We could afford our …
    We could afford our mortgages just fine before our property taxes were doubled, and your Federal Reserve Chairman raised interest rates SEVENTEEN TIMES in ‘05-’06. Both things knocked out any hope of bldng equity or finding a future buyer for our homes. Maybe if that was the plan (and I’m sure it was), they shouldn’t have dropped the rates to artificial lows in ‘03, and allowed adjustable rate mortgages to begin with. Or doesn’t your Government bare any responsibility in protecting its citizens?

    If you signed your …
    If you signed your mortgage and can’t pay, that’s not their problem, and it’s not mine. Don’t buy you can’t afford. And don’t run to the government to bail you out. Asking the government to do so makes you no better than the people you hate.

    I think we should go to these people’s houses. BOA robbed me by juggling my deposits and withdrawals to create overdraft fees. I hold Ken Lewis personally responsibel for robbing me. They think they are untouchable.

    The banks made all these stupid mistakes, the government bails them out, then end up with all their money back plus now they own all this property. What is wrong with that story! What’s wrong is they should have gone bankrupt and disappeared. Since when do you reward terrrible behavior?

    If these greedy bank executives can’t recognize a revolution & a reckoning is evolving they’re even dumber than we thought. If they were smart they’d be crapping their pants about now & resigning & go into hiding. But they won’t. Instead they’ll believe their wealth (stolen) & power will protect them from harm. I’m afraid they’re in for a surprise. What good will their wealth (stolen) be when protesters drag them out of their homes or their 4000 sq. ft. office & beat them senseless or worse?
