Know Where You Bank

It is often argued that capitalists will do anything for money and that political considerations always come behind economic ones.

That appears not to be the case with Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America, the second largest bank in the country. As recounted on the Facebook page of well-known manufacturer McMillan Group Intl, politics apparently trumps a long business relationship if guns are involved.

The notion that a bank would (a) end a long working relationship with a manufacturer because it has expanded from making firearms accessories to making guns and (b) blandly admit the decision was entirely political is, to say the least, surprising. We will hope that BoA (and subsidiaries like Merrill, Lynch) won’t be surprised when gun owners choose to end their relationships with it. There are a whole lot of credit cards you can choose: why use one from a company that has planted its flag on the side of the enemy?

    You know, the Bank of America was the Bank of Italy until WW2. They changed their name, not their politics.

    This is the same bank that gives credit cards to illegal aliens…..go figure. No patriotic American should bank with this fascist company.

    The State of Illinois uses Bank of America as their "OFFICIAL" state bank and when Rod Blagojevich switched banks Bank of America through their jackals through him under the bus. They are part of the federal reserve and that in itself should tell everyone all they need to know. Yea Blagojevich was a chump and an idiot but what he was impeached for was his brothers doing.

    We closed our account with Bank of America a year ago. The teller couldn't seem to grasp why we wouldn't want to do business with BOA. Such a clueless moron.

    And so we see that they are not American. They do not support us or our troops. I suppose they should not call Police when someone robs them, because Police have guns. Traitors, you fail to fight for your country!
