Around the district, I’ve talked to more local bankers who are scared to death.
The politicians think the journalists have power, the journalists think bankers have power, bankers think lawyers have power. The truth is, nobody has power.
Obama came in and gave $700 billion to the bankers off the top as opposed to giving $700 billion to the poor.
Actors have given up their clout. Now decision making is in the hands of lighting men, designers, bankers, special-effects people. We need to cut that out and just go with the most able trained actors in the business.
Research suggests that investment bankers are more prone to commit fraud when they feel the competitor at their heels.
Bats have no bankers and they do not drink and cannot be arrested and pay no tax and, in general, bats have it made.
When we exited the textiles business, we paid our bankers and labourers. We must have been the only company to do that.
Bankers also play politics.
Thank you, Occupy Wall Street. With your vivid example of anticapitalist squalor, I’ve been able to convince all three of my children to become investment bankers.
My bankers are very happy with me.
Lincoln was the spokesman of the rising capitalist class of the North, who viewed the emancipation of Negro slaves as indispensable to the development and triumph of the manufacturers and bankers of the industrial North, East and West over the slave-holder of the South.
We don’t think of ourselves as a regional investment bank. We think of ourselves as merchant bankers with clients all over the country.
If we want to revive and achieve the American Dream, we need to change a situation in which the people whose hard work makes this country run cannot earn a living wage, while bankers, speculators, and corporate elites – the real ‘takers’ in today’s society – skim off far more than their fair share.
Bankers – pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted.
The U.S. obviously has all the evidence they need to prosecute bankers. They just need to search their own spy database and then there you go – 1,000 bankers in jail, a trillion dollars in fines. But it doesn’t happen. Instead, the spy network is being used to fight a copyright case. They used Prism to spy on me.
Where I grew up, in Aldgate, east London, one of the poorest boroughs in the country, I saw lots that was real – the bankers with their briefcases, the man next door with five wives, the illegal immigrants in Flat 5. I’m from a world you rarely see on screen, and I want to show it off.
We are Americans. We – we – we are – we are doctors. We are investment bankers. We are taxi drivers. We are store keepers. We are lawyers. We are – we are part of the fabric of America. And the way that America today treats its Muslims is being watched by over a billion Muslims worldwide.
I went to the bank and proposed that they lend money to the poor people. The bankers almost fell over.
Being a fan of authentic Dada, I find today’s art – what I call ‘Bankers’ Dada’ – mind-numbingly dull. The most challenging work I’ve seen of late is by The British Art Resistance. Their document, ‘A Call for Heroes in an Age of Cowards’, is apt in these days of witless chancers.
Somebody needs to position you and introduce you, but after that, most of the bankers get represented with their large clients; mostly investors are their long-term clients and an investee is a short term client.
Very deliberately, the central bankers have punished savers, pushing interest rates so low that any truly safe investment – and older people are always advised to play it safe – yields a negative return when inflation is factored in.
