Northerners like getting cheated, robbed, and mulcted by the banks. They say that is the best way ever devised.

They like giving their money to the banks when they need to be saved, and getting robbed by them when the banks are doing well.

Bizarre, bizarre people.

Perfect excuse for you to never post here again.
