I believe Arvest is WalMart's bank and to get into that very far, doesn't one have to be from Bentonville?

So anyone who shops at WalMart is, what a Socialist. That is what some of the OWS'ers were referring themselves as.
Arvest Bank is a bank and brokerage with branches in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Beginning with Benton County's first automatic teller machine (ATM) in 1976 and the launch of an Internet banking web site in 1998, Arvest Bank has been modernizing its services. Arvest Bank's Chairman of the Board is Jim Walton, son of Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart.
So are our dues being exploited by WalMart?

The unions dislike WalMart because they are greedy capitalists who do not provide for the workers, yet dues paying union members shop at WalMart. Arvest must be one of the banks that is evil, since the a Walton is on the board?

Free and clear of the banks I mentioned. I do most of my banking with small community banks. My 401k is through AA, and I assume JP Morgan is the authorized investment bank. BTW, most my money is now in the credit union fund. I will not participate in the wall street fiasco of wild swings.
Because I refused to wear a tie.
And your tax money will pay for their medical treatment and the damage awards for police brutality.

I believe people are demonstrating the reckless behavior by wall street institutions, and the continued support by lawmakers to prop up these banks with taxpayer money. The markets react on speculation to whether the banks get bailed out or not. If they do....markets go up and everyone's 401k wins, but hold on to your hats if they don't. That's NOT how markets are supposed to work. Look at europe, slovakia just vote not to be part of the eurozone fund and I guarantee the markets will fall big time tomorrow. The markets are pretty much being telegraphed by all these bailouts. And, the middle class people pay one way or the other. Pay higher taxes or see your 401K go in the toilet. Nothing is too big to fail....AA, Eastern, Pan Am, Braniff, Lehman Bros., Bear Sterns.....the tax payers shouldn't bailout private corporations or institutions, unless they're willing to give the tax payers interest free mortgages, credit cards, and No fee atms, and debit cards.
With 14T in debt, I don't see the banks offering to bailout the tax payer!
