Banking Riots for Morons

Riots are starting in England -- against the banking industry.

G20 protesters smash windows, clash with police

What is wrong with these people? They are actually mad at the banks? It was the banks who gave them loans to buy homes and cars and it was the banks who gave them a safe place to keep their wealth. The banks helped them out in times of need. The banks simplifyed their lives with debit and credit cards. And, it was the banks that organized their finances with online banking and bill pay. The banks they are rioting against provided these people with services that are extremely beneficial, convenient, and at times crucial.

Even now, these people all continue using these banking services. I wonder how many rioters stopped at an ATM on the way home from a long day of rioting. Or, how many rioters will even see the irony of using their bank issued credit card to post bail when they are arrested or to pay medical bills for riot related injuries.

These rioters -- I refuse to call them mere protesters -- are the biggest idiots known to man.

Government controls caused this banking "crisis" and government spending keeps fueling the fire. Regardless of the truth, these rioters are so stupid that they believe the lies of the liberal media and liberal government and have channeled their rage at the very hand that feeds them.

Government is to blame. If you are going to protest, complain, or riot at least point yourself at the guilty party. Leave the bankers alone. Bankers are people too.
