Part of being an ethical grownup is having the courage to say “no” to a criminal or a criminal enterprise.

Anyone doing business with this credit union should look elsewhere. They should pull money out and cease all other business until the rapist fundraiser is stopped and all money donated is either returned to the donors or to a rape victim assistance fund … or a rape prevention fund … or into legal funds designed to put rapists behind bars for 20 years or better without an early release. This is B.S. A credit union – any business – should not be in the business of fundraising for rapists.

Mary Whitmore

We don't do business with terrorists … why would we set up collection funds for rapists' comfort while in jail? Where's the money for the female who can't stand living in her skin? Where's the money for the two men who cried from the horror?

Although I am repulsed by the actions of this family in starting this account, I understand the legal ramifications facing this business if it closes the account. The best action might be a community effort to convince current accountholders to take their business to a more reputable firm. When Wright-Patt feels the pain in its wallet, it may reconsider its position. It is a business and to [the credit union] it is all about money, not ethics or human beings' well-being.

Payday Loans: Deliver Them to the Post Office

One cannot invoke the CFPB's name without using expletives. The damage being done to payday loan borrowers is merely the canary in the coal mine of the damage that the CFPB will do to the financial services industry and its customers if the highly-partisan, still-controversial, and probably unconstitutional federal agency is not dramatically changed in its structure and funding.

Great, another government handout. Behavior is what gets people in situations where they need a payday loan, and changing behavior is the only way for them to get out. Getting government involved will guarantee that the people running the program will have zero incentive to get people to change their bad habits, and 100% incentive to find as many people as possible to whom to pass out the goodies, ensuring that the favor factory stays open.
