States like NY claimed that they didn’t want to encourage gambling, oh no, but since people were going to play the numbers, it would be better for the action to go to the state rather than to the bad guys. Now you can’t turn on the TV or watch a bus go by without being encouraged to gamble on the dozens of new games that have proliferated.Jay Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652075579940313964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35248477.post-18244754466873058132011-12-11T16:56:55.095-05:002011-12-11T16:56:55.095-05:00No. It's a big business gets to legally do wha...No. It's a big business gets to legally do what is criminalized for other people because big business gives money to politicians who makes the laws post.<br /><br />At least why not open the market up so your local loanshark could undercut 190% interest?<br /><br />Reminds me of the lottery. When I was a kid, lotteries were illegal. Than the state took it over and gives much worse odds than your local numbers man ever did. It's still criminal when he does it.PCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35248477.post-87010185000064989792011-12-08T08:31:31.470-05:002011-12-08T08:31:31.470-05:00Jay,
Why are you doing business with Chase then?
...Jay,<br /><br />Why are you doing business with Chase then?<br /><br />Surely this contract, including late fees, doesn't come as a surprise to you right?<br /><br />Or is this a "Hey I didn't think you would really charge me what you said you were going to charge me when I signed on the dotted line" type post?Bob S.http://3boxesofbs.comnoreply@blogger.com
