When banks/credit card lenders can arbitrarily jack up interest rates or like Bank of Americas new $9.00 checking account maintenance fee (unless you have over 50K in your account), HMO's skyrocketing increases (with record profits) people are getting screwed every day. We need representatives like Grayson to keep that kind of greed in check. It would be interesting to see a how much each representative gets in contributions from corporate/special interest/lobbyist.

As a mortgage broker, a "friend" wanted to buy a home. Her credit was tough, but she had some savings for a big enough down payment to help make it work. It wasn't intended, but I booked for the file for a zero gain......the first file ever done for free. She was a friend so it was ok. On a 2-yr ARM, she was supposed to CLEAN-UP her credit within the 2-yrs to qualify for the low-ball 30-yr fxd rate mortgage. She starte suckin' crystal meth, screwed her credit, blamed me! Sure, that works!

@milkman52879 Paul, Kucinich, Grayson, and Weiner are the only legislators that aren't bought out. I present as evidence of corporate take over of american politics that corporate america spent millions upon millions taking Grayson out in this last election alone. He was the most avid foe of corruption we've seen.

Isn't the board game Monopoly supposed to be a good illustration of how capitalism is supposed to work? And doesn't game end with one person getting all the money and the others going broke? Think about it, at the beginning everyone has the same, with the same chances. But in the end it's one guy who gets it all, sooner or later. Having capitalism 'with ethic and morality' is a laugh because it's not designed to work that way. That's why we need to put back regulation Reagan and others threw out

I agree. Paul, Kucinich, and Greyson are 3 representatives in DC who actually represent THE PEOPLE instead of corporate interests. The lobbyists don't even bother sitting outside Paul's office. It should speak volumes to the people that representatives like Ron Paul are the rare exception.
I disagree with Grayson and Kucinich on a few things, such as social issues, but for the most part I am a big fan of both, and I'm a libertarian.

Regulation would not be needed if the banks and corporations exercise capitalism with ethics and moral standards. In other words. Make a profit, but quit ripping off people. Then the Government won't have to intervene.

@Soldierette And Congressman Grayson is the man that added the amendment to Congressman Ron Paul's bill H.R. 1207 to audit The Fed. They watered down the bill and Congressman Grayson added an amendment to put the power of the GAO audit back into the bill. He and Dr. Ron Paul work together on many of these issues. The media is playing the politic game with the interviews done by Rand Paul and passing Rand Paul's views onto anyone they can just like Palin is overly attached to Rand Paul.

@Soldierette If you invested some time you'd find that Ron Paul who has been the leading member of the republican/libertarian caucus has voted side by side with the most progressive member that is Dennis Kucinich. They've both made statements to say that they'd run on similar values while they agree that they have difference of opinion that they would like to use that difference of opinion to find the proper medium. Paul wants the government to work within its means starting with the military.
GRAYSON for President.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. People need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even if they don't have BOOTS! The Republican/Libertarian mantra.
