As we all are well aware of banks have failed. They have failed their customers, shareholders, their government and literally everyone they were meant to serve.
The leaders of these banks gets away every damn time, no prosecution follows when greed, corruption and broken laws are uncovered. What has happened till now when a bank fail is that we, the taxpayers buy them out. Our tax money go to rescue the people who sent the country down the drain and screwed over every citizen in the process.
These are things we all know. We know that the financial world isn't fair to the common man, a world where the 1% hold the power, media and the political influence.
This is a world where the leader of certain big companies earn in a year what a common man makes in 300 years.
A world were fabric workers have 70h/weeks with a dollar pay to produce cellphones which are sold for 650$.
When you start in kindergarten the most important thing you learn is to share, if you took the financial world today and explained it in a way a kindergartner would understand, even they would say that our financial institution is unfair.
But how can this change?
This is the question i've been asking myself for a week. Do we need another revolution? As things go today we won't see much change with the leaders we have chosen and those we are about to choose.
It's in these times i like to play Will Varley's "We don't believe you", it's a song that describe in detail how unfair things are and what many people think of the unfairness in the world today.
So my question to you all here on steemit is, how can we as a people stand up against corrupt banking, unfair tax and unfair work conditions with a pay that won't pay for your rent?
Down with the money from the banks will be enough to make us sick of it already. Freedom for humanity

We could stop using their currency and switch to steem and bitcoin of course. How perfect that you are raising this question in a place that is the answer to your problem. Also just in case you haven't read it yet I would recommend the book "The Creature from Jekyll Island". I am reading it now and it is a great read on the workings of the federal reserve and banking system.

Sure, that's what we are aiming for with crypto currencies. But we got no practical way to do this today, the easiest way is to use a debit card that you load with bitcoin which turns into cash. But the fees for withdrawal and usage is to high to make them viable for everyday usage. But in the future i hope we will have a option to do so, to use bitcoin as i use my countries currency.
I will check out the book, thanks for the comment. :)

I have always laughed at people who say their car manufacturer is the best, in reality they use the same parts for the same vehicle. So I argue that Ford and Tesla are the only companies that have not gone bankrupt, this principle alone will convince me to only buy a ford or tesla. I don't support the government giving loans to any person or company but a company that can just say, I quit my debt is the gubments problem, I have a hard time supporting that behavior with my wallet.
