Please take time to watch this documentary on credit cards and how they have ruined this nation. This You Tube link has nine parts but you can also watch the entire documentary at once on google video on the link below. Frontline also did a show something like Secret History of the Credit Card which also a wonderful show which you can watch on the PBS website.

Also I strongly recommend all DUers go the site below and opt out of receiving unsolicited prescreened credit card offers for the rest of their lives, and take time to review your credit report for free annually.

4. Welcome to DU....

You will really like here as there are many intelligent discussions. Did you notice the part with Jerry Fallwell saying you have give to receive? Also the pawn shop owner with customers who needed money for body armour.

5. Do you ever feel that there are no longer any American citizens?

Sometimes I think the US is not made up of voters and citizens. I don't think we are even consumers and markets anymore. I think America is a country filled with Marks. We are all Marks and the bushes, ray guns and repukes have opened the flood gates to the con artists with deregulation.

Welcome to the world of republicans, where citizenship is no longer a barrier to being taken in a con game or ponzi scheme. Can you say the United States of Amway?
