Last week, over a pre-Christmas dinner, the two of us, along with political strategist Alexis McGill, filmmaker/author Eugene Jarecki, and Nick Penniman of the HuffPost Investigative Fund, began talking about the huge, growing chasm between the fortunes of Wall Street banks and Main Street banks, and started discussing what concrete steps individuals could take to help create a better financial system. Before long, the conversation turned practical, and with some help from friends in the world of bank analysis, a video and website were produced devoted to a simple idea: Move Your Money.

3. I switched to my credit union 25 years ago

when my then bank, First Interstate, made the headlines by looting a dead woman's trust account. I have a 13%, no-fee Visa, and if I need a loan for a car, a boat or a new appliance, I call them up and it's as good as done. I have a check-book, cash card and direct deposit and direct payment if I need it. The only downside is that they don't have a branch in every supermarket, and that's just not that big a deal. Why would I want to contribute anything to the banksters?

4. We "moved our money" in 2006.

Cashed out and bought "Bubble Proof" land.

Wall Street can live or die without our money or concern.
So can the Democratic Party if they continue to Bail Out the Wall Street/Insurance Cartel and keep The Wars going.

Kicked and recommended.
