Change the Banking System

The banking system sucks... everywhere. In the UK, in the USA, and everywhere. How can we change it? Throw rocks through windows? Organized marches and boycotts? Physical acts are tempting, and sometimes works, but little people against big banking organizations isn't even the beginning of a contest. Plus, it will just make the majority of people think the people doing these acts are thugs and radicals.

Avoid the physical acts. Try this.

Don't use banks any more. Stop giving them your money.

Banks need people like to regularly deposit money in their hands, so that they can lend it out to never be repaid. They use our deposits to fund various financial tricks that only they know about. They need us. NEED us.

Why should we willingly give them the money keep pulling the wool over our sheeple eyes?

I understand that to completely take yourself out of the banking equation might be difficult and possibly/probably impossible or impractical to do, but you can take some steps:

• pay off your credit cards and don't ever ever EVER get any more.
• transfer or sell or refinance your mortgage and any other loans to a company other than a bank or one of these other companies in trouble
• don't use direct deposit, instead receiving your paycheck or social security check in the mail or by hand

Just take a few steps... whatever you can do. Forward this to whoever you can, or link to this posting. Get the banking system to rethink their business. Stop funding their grip on this planet. If just one out of 100 people do this, then the banking system might rethink its lending and corporate practices. Maybe, just maybe, it will help stabilize the economy.

(Obviously I'm no financial guru, but if we all do what we can, surely some good results could happen?)

Does anyone have any other real-time suggestions on how we can stop using banks?
