Your Flushed

The balance will never go down Account holders shall only frown Visa and Master Card decks fill with laughter While consumers toil as the clown Author's note: The rates they charge and the time it takes to pay off revolving credit ensnares the naive and the desperate. It is part of a plan.

G'day Duke... credit cards are the modern day highway robbery and it's legal. No wonder there are revolutions - Lindsay

Great write,,, I have no credit card debt. I refuse to play that game. Though I just bought a 48 inch smart TV from Target on my Target card $544.80. Before that I had a 60 inch dinosaur :) I owe $95;00 which I will pay off Sept. :)

Excellent write on the topic of credit card holders, once most people get roped in, they can't escape the impending noose. Hugs

It's all so horrible. I don't know what will become of society, my friend.
