The bottomless well of evil

I just incinerated a comment. I hardly ever do that (when I do it's usually someone pointing out a typo; I fix the error then erase the evidence of my crime...). But, before I deleted it, I copied it, because you need to see it:

With our economy going into a slump, why is it that political figures are destroying valid financial options? Payday Loans are an essential part of the U.S. financial system, providing loans to those who have bad or no credit that need the money fast. Yet, for one reason or another, legislators are targeting this financial system. Some states, such as Georgia and North Carolina, have even banned the industry all together! The politics behind it is simple; banks are lobbying the legislators to try and destroy their oncoming competition, and the legislators are falling for it. Even taking out the fact that banks are trying to take away your financial choices and freedoms so they can have a monopoly on loans, the corruption of our politics is simply wrong. Our opinions must be heard, and our freedom of choice, financial or not, should not be dampened on the soul fact on one person's financial gain.

Obviously someone's paying someone to astroturf on behalf of the most monstrous sector of the banking industry.

Must be ACORN's fault.
