Solution... |
1 |
Cut Off Their
Funding!
Let Merchant Relief Council educate you on how to
reduce your merchant processing fees. The higher the credit card fees you pay,
the more you fund them to lobby against you. While it may take MRC a while to
get Congress to fix interchange through regulation, we can fix your business
and help you start keeping your profitsTODAY! To find out how much you
are being overcharged,

| Billions of small businesses' hard-earned
American dollars flow through a system that is very broken and filled with
corruption. Merchants deserve better. They deserve a Congress that won't
continue burying the deceit. |
|
The Problem..
President Obama, the Senate, and House
think Americans should pay as high as 35% interest on their credit cards. If
they're willing to hurt the American public in this way, how much do you think
they care about small businesses?
Ironically, CEOs of banks make
millions of dollars each year due to THEIR mismanagement of OUR money which
costs American families $11 Trillion in wealth. They overcharge American
businesses $75 Billion in the form of credit card interchange in
addition to the billions they make in credit card fees. And for all their hard
work in stealing merchants' profits, CEO's receive $4.7 Trillion from
taxpayers.
What did they do with all that money? They used part
of it to buy the Senate and Congress for $48.3 Million with $16.9
Million being allocated to the Financial Services Committee. Makes
you wonder which influences them more - the $174,000 annual average
salary the American people pay them to protect us, or the $16.9
Million??
Interestingly, the Senators and Congressional
Representatives who speak out against the financial institutions are some of
the highest paid. Sounds like a smoke screen…. after all, who better to
write the laws but your enemies disguised as your friends.

The last
three attempts at reform have gone nowhere: Dick Durbin's bill S. 1212H.R.
2382, Credit Card Interchange Fees Act of 2009, and H. R. 5546, and Credit Card
Interchange Fees Act of 2008. Congress has been promising to look into the
misuse of interchange for years.
We don't need any more talk or broken
promises. The Merchant Relief Council is made up of former bank executives and
lawyers that want to "Right the Wrong." We want to take this fight to the Hill,
but we cannot do it alone; we need your help so that we can help you.
It may seem like the banks and Congress have all the money and power,
but it's not true... the people do! They may have figured out how to use our
money against us, but that is all about to change. There are many movements to
take this country back and put people first again instead of corporate greed.
Now is the time! |
The media gives a pass to the Senate and House by
showing just the tip of the
corruption iceberg, so that they can say at
least they have given it coverage.
