People can't make financial decision for themselves.
They need the all-knowing hand of the government to protect them.
The Government is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green technology...
You're amusing...in a wholly irrelevant way.
What do you think happens when average ordinary Americans find themselves up against businesses which do not act in good faith?
Have you heard of how credit card companies get young kids and adults on credit with contracts that are pages long (that nobody reads, by the way) and interest rates that can jump up to well over 30% (or higher) just because of late payments?
Or how about the banks who haven't been following proper legal procedure when it comes to mortgage forclosures on 100s of thousands of homes?
They there's the whole pay day loan debacle that's going on nationwide.
That's just for startes.
What hope to you think that individuals stand when trying to deal with companies like this when they might not even be based in ther own state?
And that's not even taking into account the fly-by-night companies which close up shop when the heat is on, move to another location or state and start all over again with changed business names.
Consumers can make good financial decisions, but when it comes to dishonest or fraudulent companies and their owners, consumers don't really stand a chance. And as long as the chances of getting caught or prosecuted is slim, nothing will change.

That's Government and Regulated Businesses under Government Protection. What does it take for you to get it. How much more do you need to enable a Government to charge you for services it has no intention to perform???
How's Immigration and Border Control doing you Spanky??? How about Toxins in Imported Products??? How about Cell Phone Company or Cable Company, or Energy Company Abuse. The Feds are turning off the alarms, holding the door open for the thieves, and topping off the tanks of the get away vehicles. You think they are going to protect you??? Who is going to protect you from them, when the soft Tyranny turns Hard???
And I might ask this as well? Not only charge you for services NOT rendered? Seems to me that if they have no intention on performing what they are paid to do...they should be abolished.
