US Chamber Of Commerce Launches New Attacks On Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

[skews13]

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to keep consumers from being scammed. That's it. Its very existence was staunchly opposed by the nation's business community because post-capitalism all but requires scamming people in its bid to invent ever-more-exotic ways to squeeze money out of the economy while doing as little as possible to earn it, and the financial industries that do the most scamming are the ones who have devoted the most time to whining that the bureau is oppressing them.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has always looked out for the rights of industries with money, and specifically the rights of those industries to pay little in taxes, follow as few safety and anti-pollution regulations as possible and, of course, scam the living bejeezus out of whoever they damn well want to. But we probably would have missed their newest attack on CFPB Director Rohit Chopra's "ideologically driven agenda to radically change the nature of America's financial services industry" if the Los Angeles Times' Michael Hiltzik hadn't highlighted the Chamber's almost satirically over-the-top announcement of it.

Here it is, and it is very funny. Never has a collection of wealthy tycoons suffered like they are suffering now, according to them.

The US Chamber of Commerce is a corrupt organization that doesn't represent the will or interest of a majority of American business.
Blaming this on capitalism is letting your marxist panties show

Every member of the USCoC could die in a fire and it would suit me just fine.

Whoopi Goldberg has had several abortions. That is a tiny example of being scammed in a massive government at all levels.

There is so much fucking misinformation spouted by these types of organizations. Just money and power grabs. They lie all the time.

Ask the big bankers if they will throw you a few dollars in return for your support.

A good rule of thumb is to oppose any and all policy changes Wall Street bankers want.
