Big Banks Target the Bill of Rights by Daniel Greenfield

Big Banks Target the Bill of Rights by Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: The American people lent $45 billion to Bank of America during the bailout. That bailout came with a hefty $100 billion guarantee against losses on toxic assets. That money came from American taxpayers. It came from gun owners and non-gun owners. But Bank of America has warned that it will refuse to lend money to manufacturers of “assault-style guns”. It had previously announced it was edging away from the coal business to fight global warming. Citigroup got $476 billion in cash and guarantees: the most of any bank. Now Citibank is repaying the generosity of the American people by requiring its clients to impose their own gun control policies on their stores. Impose gun control on your customers or Citibank will discriminate against you. (If you do business with any of these banks, time to write the CEO and say how much you disapprove of this. And maybe find another bank or a credit union for your banking needs. This idea that the bank bosses can start using their power for personal PC causes is a terrible one. The fanaticism of activist special interest groups has to be resisted by everyone, or it's a downhill slide with a very bad ending. --Del)
