Hey, you TV educated sheep out there, get your heads out of the sand and don't be fooled. Now is EXACTLY the right time to act. Send the same message they have sent us. Wall Street bailouts, Top Automakers, Banks and Mortgage companies have literally raped consumers to the point of irreparable recession led by the Bush Administration. Your TV teachers have already told you. It has destroyed Scholarships and hopes for College. Credit card companies have been blackmailing us like gas stations for years and have been recently protected in doing so since 2005 when chickenshit and greased government officials allowed their secret reform act behind our backs and without our input. We can now control the outcome. Years ago the process of giving loans or lending money for high return rates and secret penalties was called "Usury" or "loan sharking". Who allowed these people (companies) to legalize a loophole in a process that sent mobsters to jail before? Stop paying your maxed out cards! Millions in the United States alone have already cut their cards up and refused to pay. They can do nothing but harass you and claim to ruin your perception of credit. It doesn't matter anymore people, because there are no loans or mortgages or college funds or other such programs we need credit reporting agencies and their "so-called" permissions or ratings for. It's all gone people. Wake Up! Credit scores are a myth now. That money didn't even exist until they pretended to give it to you, and there are "no debtors prisons" in this country. Plus, it is not a crime to refuse to pay credit card companies. You wanted Bush?, then you learned. You wanted Obama?, fine. So now, lets force them to deal with Credit and Consumer industry rape and hold true to his campaign promises. Destroy all your cards and make no further payments until Congress and this new administration provides "us" with a bailout over credit company rape. And here's a thought...try to think about it without the TV to guide you this time.
