I just read a post about Sanders referring to usurious interest rates. So I am wondering why

[LakeVermilion]

Republicans continuously want lower taxes, yet are content to accept high interest rates from banks (credit cards). High interest rates are a tax on middle and low income people, since the wealthy can pay cash or at least have high credit ratings and get qualify for lower interest rates.

Perhaps Republicans should disqualify themselves from voting on usury laws since they have a conflict of interest, since the high interest rates produce money that is donated to campaign funds.

1. Good point. One could actually make a similar point for why no con should ever be able

to vote on any legislation.

2. Probably true for many centric Democrats

3. Well, the interests that control the Republicans (and Democrats for that matter)

make money either way: lower taxes means they keep more, and higher interest rates mean they take more.

4. They could not possibly understand what you are talking about.

5. High interest are

a tax on us, the middle and low income people, that goes to the rich. The they get richer of their unearned income because that is were the tax cuts are.
