Republicans Vote to Let Banks Screw Over Working Americans
Senate Republicans voted 52-48 to advance a repeal of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule capping bank and credit union overdraft fees at $5.
Punish the poor for being poor, and charge them even more.
Yeah this is definitely what all these republican christians think jesus would have wanted. Psychopaths.
If any of these people actually believed in Jesus' teachings, they would likely consider trump the antichrist. But, here we are
Fuckin hell. I don't believe in Jesus, but I still somehow think that Trump is the antichrist.
While in Canada, the government is working to cap it at $10, in the US the government is telling the lower income families to go fuck themselves. Disgusting.
quoting Mel Brooks's Roman senate "..fuck the poor!"
[Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the only Republican to join Democrats in opposing the resolution, disagrees. “Why would we help the big banks at the expense of working people?” Hawley asked reporters following the vote, per Semafor. “I just don’t understand it.”]
Wow I would have never guessed that Jog Hallway of all people would be on the people's side of this.
Corruption runs deep
