Demo Inside and Out: Bank of America San Francisco

by Paul Erto
"Don't Worry It Will Trickle Down", said satirical Billionaires for Big Banks outside a B of A branch in San Francisco's Mission District yesterday.

A boisterous group of protesters demonstrated at a Bank of America branch in San Francisco's Mission District today.

They made the case that Bank of America is bad for America. They said that despite ruining the economy with their reckless greed, Bank of America consistently avoids any form of accountability to the American taxpayer. Bank of America pockets billions in profits and bailouts here, but pays $0 in American taxes.

Billionaires for Big Banks were there to defend the bank's honor. They subscribe to the "trickle down" theory of economics.

Billionaires for Big Banks included Muffy LaPeche, Eunice Wentworth, and their two gentlemen friends...this group also sometimes known as members of The Raging Grannies Action League and associates from their Mens Auxiliary.

Expect more protests soon...at a big bank near you! Contact Billionaires in link here.

Organize 1000+ then go out next time and stop smiling. This is not supposed to be a happy event. People are losing their fucking homes and have to live in conditions they prefer not. You have the skills. Use it.

Passersby get "into" the event if they see something entertaining. Sorry you don't like it. Whom is it you think has the skills to get out 1,000 people? Got any constructive criticism "Cry in the Wilderness"?
