Bank ad brags about 'never taking a bailout'

Ameriprise Financial, which provides banking, insurance, and investment services, has a new tv advertisement running that features actor Tommy Lee Jones praising the bank for “never taking a bailout” from the federal government.

“Since Ameriprise Financial was founded back in 1894, they’ve been committed to putting clients first,” Jones says while leaning over a picket fence, “helping generations through tough times [and] good times – never taking a bailout. There when you need them.”
