No I am trying to find the meaning of the word Visa in another language. Symbolism and such that the Devil would use to confuse the masses into believing that plastic money is good.

Did you know that credit and debit cards make the banking systems millions of dollars even if you pay on time.

Which costs cash paying customers extra money at the register even though they do not wish to use it.

Visa

Visa is latin for "paper that has been seen". Pretty much a proof of who I am...

I wouldn't blame Satan on ones own faults. We as conservatives believe in individual responsibility, let the Liberals corner the market on the blame others game.

Satan doesn't need to persuade anyone of us to commit sins when so many of us are more than ready to do them on our own. Before we rail against the Devil we must first remove the log from our own eyes. We cannot be free individuals until we toss off the shackles of our own faults.

Yes I know they charge a merchant a percentage of the amount charged to process the transaction. And yes I know that the merchants add that cost back into the purchase price so as not to dent their profit margin. And the credit card companies dangle all kinds of incentives in front of the shopping public to encourage them to buy on credit.

However, I found a CC company that refunds cash. Last year they payed me just under $500 to use their card. Until merchants stop charging everyone for the CC company's processing charge I shall continue to take the credit card cash incentive(my accountant says it non taxable!).

By Jove! So *that's* why they do it... it's some kind of *profit deal*. Amazing that you've caught on to them.

By using those darn "prices" again. I hate it when they do that.

How dare they make a profit? All this time I thought they were just being nice.
But the devil makes them do it (personified by Bush/Cheney/Rove no doubt).
