; CHASE PROFITS WHILE THE 99% STRUGGLE
Chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase is here to talk about recent economic events and his view on what’s next for the global economy. 
; Here are some things he won’t be telling you about:
* They bought politicians - 08/10 campaign contributions: '''$9.7 million'''
* The politicians gave them in bailout money: '''$94.7 billion'''
* After the bailout, they laid off: '''14,000 workers'''
* They raised your bank fees: '''+249.5%'''
* Profits for 1996-2010: '''$153.5 billion'''
* Profits for the third quarter of 2011: '''$4.26 billion'''
* Median JPMorgan Chase bank teller wage: '''$22,006/yr'''
* 2010 CEO Jamie Dimon pay: '''$20.8 million  (893 x median teller wage)'''                                                     
* Effective tax rate in 2008: '''-33.4%  (that’s right, MINUS 33.4%)'''
<br />
These are but a few of the despicable practices of '''JP Morgan Chase.'''
; The other big banks are equally odious in one way or another. 
; Move your money to a Credit Union or local bank!!

; The smart way to change if you have autopay, direct deposit, or other scheduled electronic transactions.
You can follow this seven-step checklist put together by '''Consumer Reports.'''
* Step 1: Open your new bank account with a small deposit.
* Step 2: Make a list of all the automatic payments and deposits that are scheduled to go in and out of your old account each month.
* Step 3: If you have direct deposit, ask your employer to reroute your paychecks to your new account. Find out what date the first deposit will occur.
* Step 4: Once you know the date, reschedule each automatic payment or debit to come out of your new account. Make sure to ask what date the change will apply.
* Step 5: Leave a small amount of cash in your old checking account for at least one more month.
* Step 6: Once you’re sure all automatic payments and all direct deposits are coming and going from your new account, electronically transfer the final funds from your old account into the new account.
* Step 7: After the transfer clears in your new account, follow the procedures for closing an account at your old financial institution. Make sure to obtain written confirmation that your account is closed.
