<br/><br/> "Many impoverished consumers are blinded by financial desperation, low literacy skills, and a desire to [be] part of what the TV commercials tell them is an exclusive club: the fellowship of consumers lucky enough to have earned bank credit cards. After all, exclaim the well-dressed actors, 'You work hard for your money. Don't you deserve some credit?'" (SOUTHERN EXPOSURE) This article discusses how credit card companies take advantage of poor Americans by offering cards with high fees and heavy penalties.
