Comic relief on credit cards

Definitely not the big story today. But a bit of comic relief

    before we - or THEY - reap the whirlwind. Headline : " House passes

    tougher bankruptcy legislation " ( Providence Journal, page A3 , March

    20 ) . Last sentence a classic of VICTIM politics even from my commie ,

    pinko, generally UN-AMERICAN point of view : " Democrats blame the

    credit-card industry for much of the rise in personal bankruptcies ".

             KNOWING my assets, I always rip up credit-card offers that

    arrive with annoying frequency in the mail.

             In fact I have never used or owned a credit card, preferring

    to pay CASH for everything that I can afford and REALLY need .

              This is blatantly un-American, I know. And I won't blame

    the FBI if they open a file on me. At least they will be spared a

    tedious credit check.

            Worse still, I believe as did Thoreau, that the individual

    is rich in proportion to everything he can do without.

            The true enemy of capitalism is SIMPLICITY itself !
