Hands off. See the unproductive political parasites for what they are.

I would like to see gift cards and rebates banned. I would like to see politicians who try to restrict people's choices banned.
Yeah, I find rebates annoying and gift cards tacky, but government interference in with the free operation of markets requires a lot more justification than that. Adults are better off putting up with minor annoyances than having the government run their lives.

I don't buy them. They are very impersonal and show a lack of imagination or even a lack of interest on the part of the purchaser.

So naturally, since you don't like them, you think that no one should be allowed to use them. Do you work for the DNC?

They are both gimmicks for the retailers, who know that many are never used, or even lost. The cards have become a market for thieves as well. It is likely that half of all rebates are never paid out.

I am a card carrying member of the RNC. I didn't say that the government should get involved. I would hope the retail industry could control their own abuses. It has become outright theft from customers.

What kind of arguments are these? Giftcards shouldn't be allowed? Who has the right to say that? Unused giftcards go to the Government? Who gives the Gov't that right?
How about unused giftcards go to me? I have as much right as the Gov't to have them. And for you people who don't like them... send them my way.

I am surprised to learn from reading this article Texas enacted legislation to steal money from unused gift cards.
Though the cards may not have been spent by their owners, the unclaimed value does not belong to the government.

The market makes a lot of choices that I find strange. Britanny Spears and the Honda Element come to mind.

I think gift cards are up because stores don't want to stock more inventory.
To: TommyDale
So who would do the "banning" you want? The Chamber of Commerce?
