TomServo92 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Heard of it? I'm not surprised if you haven't. It's a DOJ initiative that pressures banks to discontinue doing business with companies that the Administration has labeled "high risk" or otherwise objectionable, even though they are legally operated businesses. It's also not surprising that firearms related companies are on the list but this isn't about gun-control. Now, some of these businesses, like payday lenders, I find a but unsavory but I recognize they have a legal right to operate. But it is a HUGE concern that the administration is attempting to persecute businesses they don't like by executive fiat. This just reeks of the flagrant abuse of executive power disguised as a crime prevention initiative. I find some strong parallels to the IRS targeting scandal in that executive agencies are being used as operatives fighting a secret war on American citizens that the administration dislikes.

cal50 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 There is a key difference in enforcing the law equally for everybody or selective enforcement on certain people or groups. Apparently little was learned from the IRS incident and if no one is fired at the minimum or goes to jail the cycle will continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These companies have broken no laws at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHorse Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's one crooked under handed thing after another with this Obama bunch. This guy is by far the single worst President this country has ever had. If a Republican President behaved this way the congress would long ago have had him impeached. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a better chance that Harry Reid would vote to cut the benefits of Senators to those offered to America's veterans, and nothing more.

chevys Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The goverment is trying to pick the winners and losers again. What is so laughable to me is that they can throw millions of dollars at green energy companies and they still cant make it. Just imagine a republican president doing this to the green energy companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
