"Worker and honest citizen, taxpayer and small savings for unscrupulous banker to submit to their abuse and be trampled without losing the smile for the sake of the market economy. Ask for Middle Class Noob "
If relations with the banks when looking at a contact section of a newspaper personal ad that would be a standard model. Finally, after all, is the virtue of compromise which characterizes Homo Sapiens Civilizadus. Only then it is understood that after suffering a violation economic capital to keep things as before.
I wonder how many bank executives have been left on the street because of the crisis that began on Wall Street. I do not remember having heard in the media about mass resignations or dismissals boards, presidents and CEOs. I do not remember because it has not happened. The housing bubble began to deflate in the summer of 2007 and two years later and billions of dollars involved, the same as speculating filled their pockets with the default risk of the poorest in their offices today are fatter bills .
It is true that some names have fallen, as the president of Bank of America, Ken Lewis (who resigned after losing the confidence of shareholders, but holds office until the end of year), and some banking institutions have gone and investment funds, but the great figures of the sector worldwide and entities who received more money from governments are walk with heads held high while the middle class bites the dust.
The biggest scam in history documented no "happy ending", at least for the victims. Not only the perpetrators of the crime escaped scot-free, even had to flee and after multiple robbery were rewarded with a high salary and a package of bonificiaciones that "takes your breath" for the work done okay?.
These "cracks" of finance (no doubt that they are given the results) have only suffered the loss of public image (a little) and the threat of a cut in their salaries. The most that will come in some cases is that executives lose their private jet or annual fee to the country club, so far paid by the company, the same as that needed public money to clean up their balance sheets. Nobody forced them to take responsibility, no one will. In this heist turns out that the culprit is multifaceted, diverse and diabolical "system."
A high street bank wheeling and dealing are over thousands of jobs (including bank workers on the lowest rungs) and as a result of the crisis, financial institutions have tightened the conditions for a citizen to get a loan to get ahead. The main condition to ask for a bank today to give credit to the customer proves that you do not. The "check" public managers arrived, they used the funds to clean up their "brown" and cut the money flow to the population because of course, nowadays you can not trust.
Furthermore, prices have fallen, people are forced to sell off properties, an ideal climate for those with money ... you first steal and steal later, but all legal huh? Outrageous.
I do not attempt a defense of socialism or communism or capitalism crushed. The injustices do not understand sickles, hammers or capital gains but do distinguish between those who have power and who does not.
In my case, mortgages or home, I have seen this year as the savings account that I signed with Citibank in 2008 without fees or commissions has come to have a "cost" of 7 euros per month, and that has not debits. I now costs 7 euros. If I am confused and I do not get the money within a time not only savings but I will not have acquired a Citibank debt that will have sucked all my money and tell me claiming the gunsmith because the guilt of what happened will be mine, I sent a letter to warn of abuse ...

Perhaps the crisis was also not up to me but then I got no letter.
Hey! but we are sympathetic, finally, after all, the poor banks need new sources of funding to maintain reasonable annual profits that allow them to appear on an exchange, solvent institutions. We will have to lend a hand.
