That is all part of the one world plan, oh yes many bank workers make LITTLE money a teller in most states makes about $8 dollare per hour, so its not about money its about dismantlment/COLONIZATION of our Nation and way of life, our enemies are many and one is inside the so called white house. within 2 years the USA Will disappear and the new world order will be your government but when that happens we who think like Americans will no longer be pin down by our oath to a nation state and will be free to act like real Americans. but also understand many will be happy to get something to eat so many will ask for the new world order like little kids asking mother for food.
