The real raping is being done by the banks. For instance, my roommate just paid off a credit card in full that she was never once late on. Two days later, they sent her a letter saying that finance charges were going up to 31%!!!!!!!!!!
That's a really good way to stimulate the economy; make it so no one can afford anything. Personally, I think every person with a credit card should just stop paying them regardless if they can afford it or not. 31% interest on anything is fucking ridiculous. Credit companies have had us all by the balls for years; now it's time to return the favor.
As Maynard put it:
Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
