euro bashing apart what is a real laugh is to watch the repubnicks tear the GOP asunder. What have you done to Abe Lincoln's party you mugs?

American politics make France look civilized. Ze artist country run on cheese and champagne. Pity its not a silent movie this election campaign.

May the Euro burn with the green back. I vote for making roasted chestnuts as the new money. Great to eat on wintery days.

How about you InAnemouse?

Are you a slave to your masters? Or are you paid in Yuan, or Renminmbi, or copper, or the occasional thirty story apartment complex in the middle of nowhere?

It is funny.

The free Greece? Saved by the Spartans? You mean those guys who held the Hilots as slaves, and had all kinds of tricks to keep them in line.

One, for example: once, the Spartans mustered their slaves and asked them who were ready to fight for them against the enemy.

All the male slaves who stepped forward were killed because they betrayed themselves in the eyes of the Spartans, if they were ready to fight for the Spartans, they would be ready to take up arms to free themselves from Spartan slavery.

Yes, US citizen freedom. You know the type. It is the same type of freedom US citizens started their nation with.

In US citizenism, no one is free if one can enslave the other.

Read some literature
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms
It soothes

the chinese had a hard time reconciling their loss of kingdoms to a "foreigner" cast, the Yuan Mongols; whence the propensity to write romances to resuscitate old traditions where the new blends in with the old. Kublai was a great monarch but his legacy died pretty fast, seventy years after his death.

Yuan Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Italy and Spain are next.

Global conquest by bankers using an army of politicians, lawyers, and accountants.

The new century ushered in the oppression of the masses without the use of firearms, but rather databases while killing tangible money and assets along with productive employment and the rule of law and property rights via kangaroo courts, complicit two-faced politicians, and media propaganda - without a single shot fired.

JPMorgan Sees Clients With Less Than $100K as Unprofitable

“When the world lets us charge something more akin to your gym membership or your card, we’ll be right there with them"

"The biggest U.S. banks are grappling with lost revenue from regulations such as those that cap debit interchange fees and overdraft charges, making customers with low deposits more expensive for lenders to manage."

Doublethink at its finest: And how exactly does this make those with <100k invested more expensive to deal with, anyway? Do they transact more often? Are these companies' employees so disgusted by those with that little in paper that they have to pay them more to deign to deal with such troglodyte homunculi?

Maybe I need a new financial lexicon, but I remember back in the day when the bank would pay you for the privilege of having you trust them with your hard earned wealth wading around even the shallow end of their pool. But then who needs customers when you have a printing press and an army to back it up? In that situation I suppose that real live depositors are seen as either just a nuisance to be discouraged, or, if they are actually stupid enough to stick around, suckers to be fleeced.

What's that further down in the article; something about 'penetration'? It sounds as if they are seeking to double that.
