Thursday June 25th Meeting #739
Taking Advantage of the Poorest
Dr. John Beesley, English Born Author. Retired after a long career with Xerox (educated at London’s Imperial College and the University of Dallas. BSc, MBA, PhD), will discuss how in most countries, usury laws prevent financial companies charging excessive interest rates on loans taken out by their customers. In the U.S., there is no federal cap on credit card interest rates. Thanks to major banking deregulation, credit cards are generally exempt from state usury laws. Instead, banks are governed by the interest limits of the state where their headquarters are located, allowing them to bypass stricter caps in your home state. Naturally, credit cards headquarters are set up in states that have no usury laws. John argues that the U.S. should not be proud of this! He concludes that action must be taken to restore Usery laws and achieve Common Sense.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
