know the difference between profits and prosperity

hard to enjoy a "6pm pot roast" if it's payed by foreclosures and terror

The most fun periods in my life actually cost next to nothing.

the bankers most fun period is costing other people everything.
and that everything is ending up in those bankers hands.
while our governments give them all our tax money.
killing us slowly by starvation and exposure.

this is not about buying happiness with money
it's about stopping this feeding frenzy
about foreclosures and intentional poverty
about families with kids, living on the street

Invest bank funds to fatten my personal portfolio and pay myself filthy fat bonuses.

Re: If I were a banker I would.......
Which lead me to my last point:

If I were a banker.......I would live within my means and then some as an example to my community.


Over and out...not much more to say

BE FRUGAL....and love...don't be a Dallas Nouveau riche goof!@!!!
 Quoting: allisaTX


You´d have to have your own bank to do that. Otherwise, you´d be out the door in no time. This guy here talks about that world:
[link to www.youtube.com]

It´s quite interesting. When he decided to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes, he was done.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21148562


I'm sure you are right, but what strikes me as the one thing I would be sure to do if I were a banker and that is .....

I would keep it local.....I would keep my customers money in their home town...

wouldn't you?

That is the best possible quality of life for a community of folks.

Don't export your talent, labor, money, minerals etc....

just my thoughts on good bankerism

Thank you that will be fascinating to watch.

I guess my point is ....if we could reset, and resume true community bankership in America, at least take it back to 1950? A time when a banker had impact on Main St. George Bailey comes to mind in "It's a Wonderful LIfe".....even the greedy may enjoy this new slower Mayberry like life::)?

The rich get tired and if they don't have someone showing them the way they are lost and just want to look busy ..!!
 Quoting: allisaTX


even in 1950, It's a Wonderful Life was blatant pro-oligarchy propaganda....

I'm just a dumb nobody who wishes she could do it again.

I lost too much of my life to the silly pursuit of "happiness" in the form of material goods.

I destroyed my life actually, without the basic knowledge of how money works. I have to live with that.
 Quoting: allisaTX


Right now it is becoming extremely difficult even for those who do understand what is happening. We´re at the end of a long period of increasing debt and it´s just as well as being on a sinking ship and knowing why it´s sinking.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21148562


Yes, we are under a suffocating of sheets upon sheets of debt...layer after layer that is tied to a little bit of something....maybe a house, maybe a country...but the clawing fingers of debt scrape at it and MISS! because there is so much desire for it's little bit of what is called "collateral" or something that has supposed value it is tied to. grouphug

 Quoting: Horus 7669788


Resurrection factories? How do you see the future here?

My point however is:

If I were a banker I would keep my customer's money in OUR COMMUNITY....

THAT IS WHERE WE WENT WRONG!!!

Sorry I had the cap type folks...


but please get it....A banker can be make a great community....I think...but they have one purpose to lend....period...to LEND to qualilfied borrowers in their community to help build the community. It's sounds so easy until you listen to damn MSM news?:(

Re: If I were a banker I would.......
In my "new" banker suit:

That is why home ownership is soooo important!

While I was getting my cookie, I was thinking, no it's impossible the lawyers will always extend the boundaries of locality.:( :( :( :redface::redface:

BUT THEY CAN NOT!!! Not in the case of homeownership.....because a house is a physical entity....the lawyers must make laws with this physicality as a given...thereby keeping the money local. It would almost be like the 2nd amendment.

Re: If I were a banker I would.......
I'd be a boring one that cared about my customers and kept simple, careful records of my customers loans owed and their requests for new funds, I would have made it as simple as possible. No gimmicks. I would never have gotten an MBA, I'm fairly sure of that, and 6 pm pot roast at home would have been a great joy.

1) It would never have entered my mind to go looking for someone to sell a loan to, because I would have assumed they would come to me when they had the 10% down payment I would require.

2) I would never sell one of my customers mortgage loans!! That would be only be taking money out of my community. How dumb.

3) As a banker, I would do my best to keep drugs out of my community because I want to make my town a great place to live so others will take out loans and build homes here.

4) I would also do all I could to support great education everywhere in my town.

5). I would not fix what was not broken regarding forced segregation and forced anything.

Just a few thoughts....

Really, it would be soooo easy to be a good town banker:)

A home is a physical, undeniable piece of evidence of an "asset" that the lawyers can not easily legislate around. They can not legislate away it's existence!

Re: If I were a banker I would.......
I know this is a very boring thread:

but think about that for a minute.....

Think about what a stumbling block homes would be if you wanted to economoconcur a people.

Private home ownership would be your challenge!!!


Because they are visible, tangible, known in the town, part of the fabric....not like a savings account with "money",.....but they are tangible and private....

so little focus is on this....

a good banker like myself would never sell their communities homes to others...not the note, not any part of that home would be sold...I would have seen what they were trying to do and I would have protected my community....

Who the hell didn't stop this?
I know many must have tried...

I think this must have been the fear over the centuries. The removal of local money for investment elsewhere, because it equals instant loss from where it is taken.

If I am the banker who sold Jim and Sally a house at 150,000, I received 15000 down on this property. J and S are making payments of $700 per month on this property. This money is here in our community each month. If I SELL THAT LOAN THE WEALTH HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM JIM AND SALLY"S COMMUNITY AND MINE TOO!!!! ......that 700 is no longer going into my bank and out my door on Main Street....it took thei wealth AWAY from their town....

Isn't that what has happened?

am I wrong?

Re: If I were a banker I would.......
I'm not wrong. How were we foolish enough to allow this to happen? It started a long time ago and we accepted it, and moved with the money flow. We allowed our families to become scattered over thousands of miles and just went with it for the big bucks. Sad. In my life it sure as hell was not worth it. I don't know how I could have been so blind. Why did I think the sacrifice of close family was worth leaving them for money? My kids would have been 20x happier if we had not done this....I placed so much trust in society in my early days as a young mother. I was so sure my country was good and did the best it could at all times for it's citizen's. I should have noted we were not called citizens, but consumer's. And when my child was a baby I knew something was wrong. I used to ask myself why would McDonalds market a batman toy to my 3 yo. The first Batman movie was horribly violent. Then came "home alone" and all the moms took their 5 year olds to see it. OMG....please god let me have a do over:(.....sad...sad....sad...
