Not everyone has the luxury of plunking down cash, so why bash the one's that must resort to credit card use at times. The topic of the thread was started in reference to Towers easy pay, and by the time I got to the end, I felt as though I was the recipient of half an economics class. It just seems that no one wants to look at the big picture. The only thing political I said in my post was in reference to the bank bailout last year, and that was intended to counter the claims in earlier posts that the general public that uses credit cards is solely to blame for this countries financial woes. When in fact it was the various corporations from Banking to the automotive industry.
