In America, homeowners are getting hit especially hard. If you’re not a homeowner, you know someone who is. This short video will teach you why there is a credit crisis, and it will probably make you hate the banks and wall street (more than you already do). I’ll write moreo n the monetary system in a future post.

Yeah and I know why, my credit card interest rate jumped from 14% to 28%. No warning, no notification. I understand though, that’s exactly what the banks need, more money. A few billion dollars free bailout money just ISN’T ENOUGH.

The problem with our society is, it will never be enough. The point of a corporation is to make profit. If you make less profit than you did the year before, why you must be doing something wrong. More more more, how much more do they need?

Banks really tick me off. Their overdraft fees and interest rates are crazy, and they really only affect the lower and middle classes. A rich person isn’t going to overdraw their account. A rich person doesn’t need to take out a loan to pay interest. No, a rich person will put their money in a CD or something similar, and let it sit there and collect interest…pretty much, they’re getting free money just for having money in the first place. Where does that free money come from? Our pockets, our interest rates, our overdraft fees. This has always seemed unfair to me, but even more so the last couple of years.

If at all possible, get your money OUT of Chase and other big banks. Use small banks if you can. We shouldn’t give our money to the richest people in America anymore.

It’s ok to be Republican, but some of the stuff the leaders are saying is really, really, REALLY stupid. That’s not to say that Democrats never say anything stupid, of course they do, but the dribble coming out of the people’s mouths in this clip makes me sick to my stomach. Tell it like it is, Jon!

Politically I belong to neither party, but I’m glad Obama won over McCain + Palin. To those of you that couldn’t make it through the whole video, my favorite quote to the whiny republican leaders is, “It’s a shit taco. It’s supposed to taste like shit!”

My Dad really likes Bill O’Reilly. I don’t understand why. I’m hoping it’s just a morbid fascination, like when you see roadkill but can’t look away.

To be fair, all politicians flip-flop, republicans and democrats alike. The crappy thing about politics is that in this age, they don’t always do what they think is right. They don’t always do what is good for the American people. No, the people they really need to please are the lobbyists. Without lobbyists there’s no money, and money is everything in our society.

In this clip, Bill isn’t really flip-flopping. He’s just letting people know it’s okay for him to do certain things, but not okay for other people to do them. That makes perfect sense, Bill, and we thank you for it.
