What's in Your Wallet?

I recently emailed the White House regarding a letter we got from Capital One. I was so ticked off, I had to write to somebody. I just can't believe that the government is allowing these companies (that the American people have been bailing out with our future taxes) to arbitrarily raise our rates on us without cause. It's ridiculous how the American people are getting the shaft while the rich banks and car manufacturers are living high off the hog with their private jets and lavish parties.

This is the quick comment I wrote to the White House www.whitehouse.gov:

"My husband and I have been long term customers of Capital One. We have never been late on a payment and have earned the low interest rate of 6%. Just the other day we got a notice that our interest rates are going up to 15% because of "extraordinary changes in the economic environment". I don't see how the economy has anything to do with our standing as a customer.

Maybe they can cut back on their "what's in your wallet" ads, because after they are done with the American people, there won't be too much left."

This is a sign of our times right now. I sure hope President Obama will do his best to remember that the "little" guys need as much or more help than the big guys in the fancy cars and million dollar homes.
