Is Your Bank Republican or Democrat
Yesterday I was searching out some credit card info on Coop America and came across something that I found very enlightening but had never thought about. My bank has a political affiliation! So, if I'm a Democrat and my bank is Republican I am supporting the Republican party through my bank. Wow, that got my attention.
This has been an amazing political year. People who have normally not been politically minded are aligning themselves with Barack or Hillary, if they are Democrat, and wondering who will eventually go head to head with John McCain. It's been fun listening to young people discuss the electoral college and other issues. What my accidental research uncovered is that banks affect more than just my bottom line.
Check out Coop America to see who you are supporting through your financial institution as well as some other amazing facts about the banks we do business with. It might be time to cast your vote for another bank.
