When I was young there were usery laws to prevent such abuse. The obvious intent is to bleed the uninformed or desperate of anything they have left.
I agree with you Don, and the end result will be civil unrest. Our system worked great for over 150 years and that started to change in the 80s with technology, globalization, and women entering the workforce. We went from a labor shortage to a labor surplus and I don't think men or women are better off or happier.
Nothing against women working, but what I see is when the turn 30 they want to start a family and if they make more than their husband and have to work they become resentful. They also become resentful if their man does not earn enough for them to stay home when the children are little.
We were all sold a bill of goods and people are starting to wise up to the fact. I am for equal work for equal pay, but am against declining standards of living. As far a usery it is alive and well. Heck Congress even wrote it into law. We need to have constitutional congress and get our government back. Corporations are not people and should not be able to use their money to purchase our government. This practice of political capture needs to be abolished.
