Reply #65: thank you and the other poster setting me straight regarding who sets the fees [View All]

i just see mine go up, and when I pay a card off, i still get a fee notice..then you have to call and call..its the banks..

i don't think she's evil, but I do think combined, that we have a (i would call it upper-class) problem with entitlement, and that en masse, it becomes a system that is evil and villainous to people with lower incomes. This is about pr against raising taxes on the wealthy, because they "struggle."

But it's in part because they won't give up an opulent lifestyle. The poor are vilified in this country and blamed and perceived as hogging "entitlements" but through tax cuts etc. the rich end up paying much less than before and many of them still can't seem to save any money. The poor can't save because of low wages and no health care. The poor sacrifice (or are forced to .."right-to-work" laws,etc.) but if Obama asks for a modest reagan-era tax increase then out come the woe-is-us PR campaign.

she can to move, give up the nanny, send the kids to public school, etc...the poor and former middle class have few or no choices.
