I’ve just put my money where my mouth is. I closed 3 Wells Fargo banks accounts and put all the money into my local Credit Union. The reason I did this is because I no longer believe in corporate banking. There’s no reason why banks should be allowed to screw the American public by offering loans that they know are bound to be defaulted on. I believe that there are entities in this country that profit from misinformation and deception, and a majority of those entities are associated with banking and government. Removing my money and closing my “bank” accounts is symbolic of expressing to banks and government that I’m dissatisfied with the way things are being run in this country. I believe that my community credit union is a safer and more appropriate way of holding my money in an institution that serves my community, not a board of greedy share-holders.
