One thing that concerns most people who live and work on Main Street is that Wall Street’s greed is sucking money out of small towns across America. After being bailed out by those who live on Main Street, Big Banks continue to flout the rules of fair play.

Just last week The Washington Post reported “AIG executives’ promises to return bonuses has been largely unfulfilled“. Today, one reads “GMAC Said to Discuss U.S. Aid Package of $3 Billion or More“, which would be a third bail out of GMAC, Inc. And just last week, reports surfaced that Citibank was able to buy it’s way out of TARP because the US Government granted it a $38 billion tax benefit, “The Mother of All Tax Breaks“!

If you have money in one of Wall Street’s banks, it’s clearly time to rethink where you keep it.

“Move Your Money: A New Year’s Resolution” describes a movement afoot in this country for people who live on Main Street to move their money home. Nearly every community in this country has one or more local, community banks or credit unions. Unlike Wall Street banks, community banks and credit unions tend to be very involved in their local communities. They make loans based on conservative lending standards and they tend to keep money in their community.

Learn more about this movement by reading “Move Your Money: A New Year’s Resolution” or by visiting the Move Your Money web site at: http://moveyourmoney.info/ The Move Your Money site has a video and a quick way to find financially sound community banks located near you.

If enough people do this, it may be the one thing that simultaneously helps your local community, sends a message to Wall Street and gets the attention of the U.S. Government.
