The millionaire has no credit.
The media and the left want the person with the $1Million balance to feel guilty.
Let’s see.....how much money would you need in a SAVINGS ACCOUNT to take care of your retirement? The real message from this story is that the Democrats will louse everything up.
Chase. Typical, have a million on account, can’t get $300 on credit.
What is the point that the author is trying to make? One person has money, and another does not. So what. Is he suggesting that we should spread the wealth, as Obama advocates?
I suspect the one on the right is fake. Different format, no last 4 of the account # for example.
Assuming it isn’t a photoshop fake, who would keep that much money in a mostly uninsured account and risk being kidnapped for their ATM card?
1. This is news in NYC? Just walk north on 5th Avenue from 92nd Street and you’ll get the same effect in about 15 blocks. EVERYONE who lives there understands this concept and learns to live with it.
2. Who keeps $1 million in a savings account?
This guy and his buddy have serious envy issues.
So what? It could be that the millionare is a person that has been working and saving for 30 years and the pauper is a broke college student. This is nothing more than fomenting class warfare.
On the flip side, it is also a reflection of a great country. A country in which the rich and poor mingle in the same area and are most likely not even aware of each other. A country where it is possible for that pauper to become the millionare.
This article should reflect the greatness of this situation, a situation that would not be found in Cuba, North Korea or Venezuala.
So what? Does the media somehow think that it’s wrong for someone to have a million dollars and someone else doesn’t? Rhetorical question - of course they do, unless it’s one of the media or a politicial like that disgusting little Napoleon Bloomaparte
OMG! You are telling me that someone tried to withdraw $100 and the bank DENIED it all the while the bank has another depostor with over $1M. The bank should have withdrawn the money from the rich account and then gave it to the poor individual who is truly struggling to get by in this heartless world. The rich person would have gladly paid the $100 because it is the patriotic thing to do.
In fact, since the reported for this crap article makes a lot more than me he should send me $100 because I deserve it and it is also the fair and patriotic thing to do.
100 withdrawal coming from a checking account
300 withdrawal from a savings account
Checking accout = no interest paid = minimal balance maintained
Savings accout = interest paid = more money in there
Apples and Oranges being compared here.
Try to withdraw a million dollars on a three hundred dollar balance. Might work???
For all we know, this could be the SAME ACCOUNTHOLDER! Less than $100 in checking, can’t get a cash advance on the credit card, withdraws cash from savings account. Question: why would anyone with a million in savings take a credit card cash advance? Don’t they charge payday-loan type interest rates for those?
The one on the right is from a lottery winner that couldn’t wait for the check to clear.
In 1982 I was in that top 5%. I did not write hot checks, there were no ATM machines then. In 1982 the oil field went down the tubes and I had no income for the next 2-1/2 as I went back to University to obtain a new degree. I did not write hot checks even though I was then in the last percent wish was zero. I lived on my savings which quickly went to zero. I then lived on the sale of my home and aircraft. I did not write hot checks.
When I graduated again I was then thankfully in that top 5%. I still do not write hot checks. I have worked as a deckhand, roughneck, drilling fluids tech, pilot, and pharmacist. I was able to do this from work ethic instilled by grandparents whom were a product of the depression.
The point of my post is anyone in our great nation can be anything they want so long as the do not have mental or physical handicap the prevents them from their goal.
ps
I am glad that someone had over a million dollars in the bank. Each and every person that gave me a job over the last 47 years were millionaires, and they earned it.
The way the article is written, it seems to this reader the author wants to take the $1,002,057.30 from the one, and “spread the wealth around”. What irks me is the fact that someone with over $1,000,000 in the bank thought it necessary to get $300 from CREDIT. Why on earth wouldn’t you just take $300 of your own money, rather than pay someone interest, transaction fees, etc. on theirs?
And ATM fees should be considered usury. It’s ridiculous to charge me money to get my money. And you can bet if I had $1,000,000 in a bank - the bank president would know that any time I want my money, especially via an ATM, I do NOT get charged.
