Protest the credit card company's.
Every single credit card mailing with a post paid envelope,fill it full of useless coupons and hate-mail and send it back every single one.It's gotta cost them money when those envelopes are used.Let's see there are 60,000 of us here at Du 2 per day each that's alot of mail!

1. Be sure to write a note about the bankruptcy bill
They do these mailing because its so cheap. If millions of Americans raised the cost of that form of advertising by sending back the postage paid envelope, then it would eventually stop.

5. My understanding is
the postage charged on the return envelope is by weight.
Make those returned mailings heavy.

8. The moral of the story is get rid of your debt....
The pukes want you to have debt.....and no assets....and simply pure buying power. Think about it. It's the best equation for those on the top.

When did it all start....Not sure you remember this but when Reaganomics took hold 1980+ he somehow convinced congress et al at the time to take away the deduction on credit cards, car loans, etc off your income taxes.

It started as the first year 90%, then 80%, then ultimately 0%.
For those like me starting out at that time, I had a bunch of credit card debt, I was at a point where I could itemize, but then suddenly I was struct by Reaganomics.

If you now are a homeowner and can put everything on your home equity loan (ooops, there goes my home)...you might be able to survive. Truth is...more and more Americans are doing this...living beyond their means....saving less and less....and contributing ultimately to a doomed American economy.

The conclusion of all of this is the simple fact that they are rigging the game so that the guy on the bottom of the totem pole pays that much more....and gets that much less.

The falacy of Republicans is the short term game....a religious believe in growth...rather than investing in the middle class over the long term.... which has historically shown the best overall base and infrastructure of for long term economic stability and profits.

Just get the freek rid of your debt in any way shape or form you can possibly do it.

9. Yes, yes, and yes
Get out of debt. Only buy what you can afford. The credit card companies are nothing more than legal loan sharks, charging interest rates of 30% and late fees, etc.
