GUEST,Art Thieme BS: Poverty in the USA (1252* d) RE: BS: Poverty in the USA 03 Jul 07


Folks, It's called USERY---a term that was abolished officially a while ago by one administration or another. USERY was illegal to practice in the USA.

It meant "making an excessive profit!"

That's hard to believe for some here, but for most of my lifetime, it was actually illegal to make an excessive profit!!!!!! (And it should still be illegal!)

POWER is a whole other thing. The way I see it and define it, power, without the codified reality of USERY, under capitalism is, more often than not, the extent to which you can inconvenience others--economically and otherwise!
