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.
