17. Given what is happening day by day in this country

Another ten years, and you will be matching it point for point.

People are already denied ANY help in prosecuting banks for their evils. The judicial system won't even allow a case against a bank to go forward. Even in the case where a fairly well off individual tries to get compensation for a bank, and the jury rules in his favor, the settlement is thrown out by the Appeals Court.

I was accused, for no REASON at all, of forging a check. There was no reason for this. The bank could have asked me who wrote me the check I deposited, and called them and talked to them about it. Instead the bank had the police throw me out of the bank. Someone my doctor heard of had the same thing happen to them, and they were thrown in jail for two days, and by the time they made bail, they had lost their job.

And luckily I work at a small business my husband set up. If I currently tried to get work, being over sixty means insurance premiums are too high, and I would not be hired.

Today it is "merely" a person's ability to own a few possessions, have housing and have a job that is at stake. Over the next ten years it will be our lives. (By "our", I mean those of us on the poorer end of the spectrum. Which is a good seventy percent of the population.)
