A painted pig is just a pig. ~ Michael through Ron Head
We will speak today on the subject of usury. Many in your country remember when there were laws governing the maximum amount of interest that could be charged. Anything higher was called usury. Today’s charges often exceed twice those allowable amounts.
You are told that such high rates are necessary for the economy. They are necessary in order to keep the wealthy in receipt of more and more of the world’s resources. More than a few of those whom you admire and fawn upon spend more upon a week’s short vacation than you earn in a year of hard work. You are told it is because they work harder and produce more. Many of those wealthy persons even believe that. We find it unsettling that anyone could spend many thousands of times the price of a good meal for things totally unnecessary when millions of souls have nothing at all to eat for that day. We find it unsettling that anyone would feel justified in then demanding more recompense for making less contribution to the whole.
