Maggie Thurber does a great job speaking against Issue 5 in Ohio:
Since when is it the role of the government to track what you borrow, when and how much? Since when is it the role of government to tell you how you can use the money you borrow? Since when is it the role of the government to decide whether or not you need or should take a class in finances? Since when did Ohioans think it was okay to grant government this kind of intrusion into our daily lives?
Even if you think payday lenders should be restricted by state law to certain interest rates, how can you possible approve of giving the government such authority over peoples’ lives?
Thanks for the link and the compliment!
I must admit to being quite surprised at how quickly the attacks started, though. They Yes on Issue 5 group is pretty well organized, but they don’t seem to have the ability to address the facts as much as they do the emotion.
‘Government is good for saving us from evil lenders and if the government tells us we should only have 4 loans per year, then government knows best.’
yeah – right!
are you for real ohioans for finacial freedom has outspent it’s oponets by a wide margin and as far as the government getting involved good for them it’s time to shut these guy out of Ohio since their customers use these loans habitually do not buy into the scam that they are middle class people that use these loans to fix their sink or car that is a load of bull we are dealing with predatory lending period no opinions just facts time to shut them down and get these people out of constantly owing these companies
