(Akiit.com) American bankers are trying to kill us!

The United States’ economic system is in need of some economic CPR and the world’s economy is on life support because beast bankers in this country are so greedy that they will kill the capitalist economic system rather than be responsible businesspersons.

And it appears that no one will stand up, speak out and protest about it but The Gantt Report and our country’s youth. You know how I’ve felt for years, but it was encouraging to me to see the recent “Occupy Wall Street” protests that started in New York City and has spread far and wide.

Bankers not scared

Claiming that they are the “99 percent” of Americans with little or nothing, they are protesting the one percent of Americans that have more money than everybody else combined. So the beast bankers should be scared, right?

No, they are not. Instead of feeling sorry for poor bank customers, the beast bankers got together and asked how they could take even more money from people struggling to make ends meet.

Well, banks already charge you for so-called “free checking” and banks already charge you service charges on bank accounts where no activity has taken place and no services have been rendered.

So the devilish moneychangers came up with the novel idea of charging customers $5 a month to access and use their own money. If you use your debit card to buy a fifty cents bottle of water, your friendly beast banker will now charge you five dollars.

Thank God for the check-cashing companies in the neighborhood. Greedy bankers have made it less costly to take your paycheck to a check casher and get cash to pay all of your bills than it is to write a check or use a debit card.

If someone wants to make a windfall profit, just open up an honest bank that can make money the old fashion ways, like making loans to customers and charging a little interest. If you want to bring jobs to a city, open up a bank that will loan money to small businesses so they can expand their work force.

Perhaps government can nationalize banks that take taxpayer dollars via a so-called stimulus plan and pay themselves million-dollar bonuses. Oh no! That would be too socialistic or communistic.

(Akiit.com) After listening to President Barack Obama’s remarks at the recent Congressional Black Caucus Dinner, I couldn’t help but compare some of the responses to what we’ve been hearing from the Tea Party and their master party – the Republicans in Congress – and a few disgruntled Democrats, who with few exceptions, were very latecomers to the team of supporters of the President.

When we were trudging through the ice, snow, cold and rain of Iowa, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and other states, they just weren’t with us. Even after candidate Obama won the primary, some reluctantly came on board – and some have been his worst critics since.

Obama can’t win

I tried to explain to myself how some members of my own party, despite the president’s best efforts, seem comfortable blasting him no matter what he says or does. Well, Frederick Douglass had already explained it on September 25, 1833 when he said, “Though the colored man is no longer subject to barter and sale, he is surrounded by an adverse settlement which fetters all his movements. In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress.

“If he comes in ignorance, rags and wretchedness he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome; but if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence. In one case he may provoke contempt and derision, but in the other he is an affront to pride and provokes malice.”

Did you ever see a person, against the greatest of odds, who worked as hard as President Barack Obama – even before he was sworn into office? Former President George W. Bush, in the closing days of his presidency, pretty much said, “Hey man, I’ve pretty much screwed up everything during my eight years, so I’m going to walk away and let you fix it.”
