Credit card industry regulation for fairness?????? - Bull !?
If the Obama Goverment has properly 'regulated' the banking and credit card industy
so it's 'consumer friendly' howcum those of us who don't want to use it
still have to pay for it?
The banks get 5% or better of every transaction through a charge to the merchant.
The merchants include this charge in their price structure.
ALL our prices go up to support this 'service'.
We ALL wind up paying a 5%+ 'sales tax, not to any government, but to the banks.
This is supposed to be a 'service' right?
Then let those who want to use it pay for it.
Personally, I'd rather get an extra steak for the $100 or so that I cant get out of the
supermarket for less than.
If it's a service, howcum the price for it isn't apparent even to those that do use it
so that market forces and competition will regulate its cost?
If YOU had to pay that 5% to use a card, how often would you CHOOSE to do so?
Don't we deserve that choice?
Maybe "there oughta be a law?"
That's the nickel rant. - I'll bill you later.
For the more florid and complete and complex $1.50 rant, - I'll need a credit card number.
NO Tony, it isn't 'Free at the credit union".
The merchant still pays the fee and charges us all more because of it.
That was the whole point.
You only THINK it's free.
It's not that complicated. Don't any of you get that ALL prices go up because
the merchant has to raise them to pay that 'percentage?
Judy, Didn't you even read the question?
