Move Your Money!
The Entitled Ones are always saying: “Let the market decide.”
We of The 99% reply: “You want it, you got it!”

46.2 million Americans – that’s 15.1 percent of us – now live in abject poverty. We rescued the Too-Bigs, now they are tossing families into the streets and demolishing their foreclosed homes. People are struggling to survive in tent cities right here in the United States of America. World-class tax dodgers are downsizing and outsourcing us, quite literally, to death. We are considered no more than collateral damage, mere sacrifices upon the Altar of the Almighty Buck.
Millions jobless… homeless… sick… shivering… hungry…. and the sociopaths in charge of this star-spangled neocon/neolib asylum DO. NOT. CARE. In fact, they think it’s FUNNY!
It is impossible to do the ‘bootstraps’ thing when someone keeps stealing your boots!

So we are taking a stand. We’re hitting them in the ONLY place that they care about: their own wallets. We are moving our money. Some folks on Facebook picked today as a special day to get the ball rolling.

In most, if not all locations, you no longer need to be employed by a certain business or within a particular industry in order to join a credit union. (For example, the one nearest me only requires that members live, work, study or worship within this county.)

Anne Stuhldreher: “This is the biggest grass-roots reaction that we’ve seen from the financial crisis yet.”
Brett Martinez: “Unlike banks, which try to make as much money as possible from their customers and give it back to their shareholders, credit unions are nonprofit organizations that return profits to their members in the form of better rates on loans and deposits.”
Alli Panelas: “I’d rather invest my time, energy and money in a community institution rather than a large bank.”
We’re with you, Alli!
So, to all of the arrogant, avarice-driven, oh-so-entitled, Armani-clad, champagne-swilling vultures who stand a’smirking upon those fancy balconies: Buh-bye!
Can you hear us NOW?

Why is moving our money into locally-controlled, non-profit credit unions an important step toward ensuring our own survival? This does a great job of explaining how we reached this point and illustrating just how large a sinkhole-ridden Ponzi scheme the entire global economy has become:
