Battling a couple of idiots over at Slickdeals spreading misinformation...
Below you will find a sample of misinformation and propaganda by right-wing trolls in just one thread about merchants being allowed to have surcharges for Visa and MasterCard credit card transactions beginning on the 27th of January. Here's a link to the thread: http://slickdeals.net/f/5822408-Credit-Card-Additional-Surcharge-Fees-to-begin-Jan-27th?

Just passing on the cost to the consumers. When will people realize that the liberal ideas of taxing companies doesn't work. Companies don't pay tax, all costs are passed on to the consumer.

Just do a Flat tax and take 40% of my income and and be done with it!!! I don't care anymore just please don't charge me another fee (every single day I can count fee after fee after fee, interest and more interest being paid to someone I don't even know what they really do with the money, they always want more and they will take it if they can).... don't ask me for more money, and stop screwing with the system... Let us live our lives... Makes me want to move... is Canada still doing well?

If you follow Republican idea, government should stay out of private sector. You have a choice to use credit card or not. And the retail stores have a choice to accept credit card or not. So why need government to decide how much money credit card company made when the customers and retailers already have the power to decide what to use?
If you like more government regulations, then you may want to join Democrat.

I'm right there with yah brotha. Right now its better to be poor and live off of the government entitlements rather than go out and work and get the bejezzus taxed out of yah. i picked up an extra shift at work and after taxes it completely deflated any incentive I had to pick up more hours.
By the way, can someone proof read the wiki?

The government is trying to control everything, pretty soon I won't even be able to use the restroom without permission or paying an additional fee. And depending on the amount I deposit I may have to pay more!...

You don't have much going for you because the state is overrun with uneducated suckers. You just voted to raise your own taxes! You voted in a governor who, in his previous post, abdicated his duty to the state because he wanted to...
Now, if you still think you're getting a good deal here regarding CC surcharge, read the actual CA code and then tell us if you're still convinced.
