CREDIT CARD MAFIOSO

Make no mistake about it, there is a credit-card Mafioso, and although they seemingly are legitimate business people, they have the same predatory instincts of the protection and loan-sharking rackets that were so prevalent during the early '30s. If you've read this before on either one of my Blogs or my Website and think I am being repetitious, please understand that I do not think that I can repeat this often enough in order for my readers, especially the younger ones, to take it to heart. You have to regard them as an enemy if you wish to keep out of their clutches and build financial security for yourself. They are your Public Enemy # 1, and if you regard them as such, you have learned Lesson Number One well. Congratulations.

Which corporations do I include in my list of credit card Mafioso? Citibank, for one. Bank of America for another. MBNA, Bank One, Wells Fargo, and a host of others. I'll keep filling in this list as time goes by.

They have a product to sell you: DEBT. They sell you Debt at exhorbitantly high interest rates. Like Evil Spirits, you must exorcise them from your life as much as possible.

A few days ago I asked a question: What is the second largest currency in the world? Don't know the answer? Well, it is Air Miles, the phoniest currency ever, and not a single government entity in the world issues it or backs it. Isn't that just abject stupidity for those of us who accept it, who get involved in it? I think it is. No, I am not calling YOU or anyone else stupid. Intelligent people, though, often do stupid things just like the rest of us. We all allowed Visa and MasterCard and their cohorts to involve us in something utterly stupid, though, an invisible currency that has no real value and can be canceled or changed at any moment by the big banks. What hogwash.

Independent thoughts. Politically incorrect? So what! Freedom of speech is just that, freedom of speech. Many Universities no long seem to subscribe to the Second Amendment. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA WRIT SMALL. (Theodore Dalrymple).

Name:Howarde

Location:Solvang, California, United States

Born in Ohio in 1924, which leaves the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, the large vessels docking on the N.Y. side of the river. Spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII.
