CREDIT CARDS: THE GREAT BETRAYAL:

"CONSUMER DEBT IS OUR ECONOMY'S ACHILLES HEEL"
Jeremy Rifkin, Columnist, LA Times, 10/15/2000

The fact is, that the American miracle has, to a large extent, been bought on credit.
Americans are spending more than they are taking in, marking the first time since the great depression that the country has experienced a negative savings rate. (Federal Reserve quote by Rifkin).

THE MEANING OF ECONOMIC SLAVERY IN AMERICA TODAY

To Business Owners: YOU may own, but you do not control your own business. When you signed a contract to accept credit cards with your local bank, you effectively handed over control, as well as a large part of your profits, to the Credit/Charge Card Cartel. You are now in chains, chains forged by the Credit Card Cartel. It is today's version of the MAFIA, but it is an ECONOMIC MAFIA. It is both exploiting and cheating YOU out of YOUR rightful profits.

It has a God-father, Dons, Captains and Foot-soldiers (Good Fella's), in a Mafia-like pattern. It has taken control of both YOU and YOUR business, and it is the biggest Scam in the financial history of the World!

To Card-holders: Many of you are deeply in debt, debt that has been carefully planned and engineered for you long before you signed up for a credit card. It is a debt that enslaves YOU as surely and completely as those people brought over here in chains from Africa in centuries past.

You may not have manacled wrists or be wearing leg irons, but if you're deeply in debt and struggling, suffering from severe financial stress, those banks aligned with Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card, certainly have you enslaved. It is a voluntary enslavement perhaps, but it is just as effective and humiliating as it was in the past.

Credit Card debt has increased dramatically since 1991, and the story is told on this Website.
