Credited to Jim Truther on Facebook...and no, I don't know if that last name is real or not.

Great line, though.

I do not understand how someone can see that statement and not see how stupid it is.  Maybe it takes 24 business hours for drunken Pitt to realize the difference between robbery and a contract.  Naturally, DUmmies love it.  What's this?

banks provide a valuable service of matching those that invest capital with those that need it.

This will not stand!  DUmmies barter with hugs and rainbows!

BINGO!

A trust funder getting pissed at the banking system is so delicious.

Given that a lot of the issues with banks, and a lot more that are to come, are the result of Dodd-Frank (hey, what party do those guys represent?) and you can see the Wee Willie Plagiarists issue.

Must be the usual DUmmy logic.

I know a lot of people that got rich because the banks loaned them money.

...and when someone I've known all my life starts complaining about someone else our age being rich, I tell, "We all started with nothing and had the same chance he did so why didn't you (sometimes we) do as well as he did?" All you going to get out of people like that is excuses. I know why I'm not filthy rich and I'm not unhappy about it. But some people are jealous, envious and down right mad because someone else didn't piss away their chance and stay down in the gutter with them.

.......and education isn't the answer for everyone. I've known several high school dropouts that have done quite well. The solution is born in people, it's called ambition......and in true liberal DUmmie fashion of changing the terms and name of things, they call it greed.

Personally I always liked the Hugh Heffner story about stating Playboy by pawning his Studebaker. :-)

I know a very wealthy real estate man that had a rather hairy start. (this was back in the late 50's) Barely in his 20's, he borrowed money from the bank on a $4,000 life insurance policy. He bought a piece of property... the bank money was for 10% down on the property and a promise of the balance when sold....he talked the surveyor into laying out streets and lots for a promise to pay him when sold....talked a contractor into building the roads (dirt roads only) and being paid when sold....got a new car from a dealer to give away with a promise to pay for it when the property sold.... the auctioneer was promised the 10% you had to pay on sale day......it was such a sucess he did it several times.

He laughs now about how if that first sale had been a dud, he would still be trying to pay off that failure. The bigger chance you take, the bigger the reward if it works.

I took a policy loan on my GI life to buy stock.  I  really wanted a TRS 80 but decided to buy stock in the company instead.  It split 2-1.  That was close to 40 years ago.  Damn.  Wonder what the value of that TRS 80 would be today.

Zeit!  Look at that thing!   :lmao:  My dad the engineer was one of the first home PC buyers.  (He read Scientific American for leisure reading).  It sat there in the living room, happily blinking  C.  He read the literature that came with it, and never touched the thing.   :lmao:

This is correct, not Koolaid, you DUmbasses.  Personally, I love my bank.  We have a good business relationship, and I think I'll send them a Christmas card.
