		<description>&quot;This whole thing just pisses me off and makes me feel further disenchanted with our system of government. I would like to think that we can salvage our nation, politically, but it becomes clearer and clearer over time that our entire government has passed it’s “sell by” date, probably four or so decades ago. (Clearly it was bought by someone as well, at this point.)&quot;&lt;br&gt;Interesting point of view mate, I myself stop wasteing my time with feeling angry with the goverment... oh well</description>

		<description>One of the great political philosophers of early 19th century France was Alexis de Tocqueville and one of his most famous works was about his travels in the United States of America. He observed that “the surface of American society is covered with democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colors breaking through.” This quote comes to us from the 1830s, but the truth of the statement is no less diminished in America today. We have elected officials that want to make our decisions for us, for our own good, when it comes to our decisions about our own financial affairs. Many of them want to take away our access to cash advances by claiming that they are an encumbrance on the citizens of this great nation. Some proposals have come out into the legislative forum at the behest of some of our leaders, such as Ohio’s Governor, Ted Strickland, putting forth HB 545, which would effectively run the entire industry out of the state and put over 6,000 people on the unemployment line. To make things worse, our Presidential candidates both have supported legislative restrictions, such as both McCain and Obama voting for a bill that banned the payday loan industry from lending to military personnel. Obama has also come out in support of measures that will put further restrictions on the industry. The definition of an aristocracy is a system in which the ruling class makes decisions on the behalf and for the rest of the citizens of the nation. Let us hope that they don’t make all of our decisions for us, especially when it comes to the financial assistance that is at our disposal. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Post Courtesy of Personal Money Store&lt;br&gt;Professional Blogging Team&lt;br&gt;Feed Back:  1-866-641-3406&lt;br&gt;Home: &lt;a href=&quot;http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans.html&quot;&gt;http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Blog: &lt;a href=&quot;http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/&quot;&gt;http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/&lt;/a&gt;</description>
