Re: Yep, that sounds like democrats.

50 years ago the gap between average income and the cost of necessities like shelter was not as great, thats why they got along fine without them.

As a general principal its true that if you dictate the terms then you must be free to dictate the offer yes. However credit is not a luxary in our current economic system. Its all but short of a necessity. Therefore I think its immoral to make the kind of profits credit card companies make off of a necessity.

I can't explain any better that the choice between massive debt and failing out of college or job loss is a non-choice and therefore not voluntary. The argument is therefore not moot.
