We're revolting against a tax system that is unfair, and we're going to fix that.

We weren't born yesterday. I think we all know that when the counties and the jurisdictions have the opportunity to reap a windfall tax increase, they're going to take advantage of that.

You can demand courtesy but you have to earn respect.

We're not opposed to a cost-based interchange. The problem is the banks got greedy and raised the rates just to make more money. If interchange was actually cost-based, it would effectively disappear. In Australia, the interchange rate is less than half a percent. And Canada is a great example: Business is thriving even though the interchange rate is zero.
