The payday loan family behind Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s deregulatory zeal

Why is Rep. Wasserman Schultz going to bat for an industry that is bleeding her constituency dry to the tune of $280 million per year? One possibility: Florida’s leading family of payday loan profiteers is a major donor to Wasserman Schultz, and shelled out a series of large contributions to her campaign last June. Perhaps she is repaying the favor.

For Florida-based Amscot Financial, predatory lending is a family business. CEO Ian MacKechnie – who is worth millions – has said that he “sympathizes with his hard-luck customers” and that he wants to “feel like we’re offering valuable services at reasonable prices.”

1. She's disgusting on so many levels

[FlatBaroque]

10. Pure filth.

[kgnu_fan]

13. And she is meddling with the entire Presidential election process.

[djean111]

2. And this, my friends, is what we are supposed to donate to, to vote for - this is what now

passes for a "Democrat".
Not doing that any more.

[dchill]

3. "Let's Make A Deal."

I'll take whatever's behind whatever door you say, Moneybags!

[Kip Humphrey]

4. This is a perfect preview of an Hillary administration. Do you favor the payday loan industry?

[TDale313]

5. Absolutely disgusting.

She needs to go.

[astrophuss42]

6. Payday loan interest

Exactly the kind of thing I started voting for democratic party candidates because of.

[kgnu_fan]

7. This is what Democratic Party has become...corrupt....We need to clean it up.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. We've always had corrupt Democrats but it seems like we used to be more embarrassed about them.

[kgnu_fan]

11. Now she is influencing Presidential Election process. Horrible for the Party.

Trust? Integrity? Accountability?

[MgtPA]

8. Thanks. I was wondering why she took this position.

Now we know.

[merrily]

12. Support Tim Canova, giving DWS her FIRST primary ever

DU link https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/du4timcanova

JPR link https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/jpr4timcanova

Minimum donation is $1.

You know what to do!

[kgnu_fan]

14. kick

[angstlessk]

15. Just contributed to Tim via DU

She NEEDS to GO!

[merrily]

17. Millions agree with you. Unfortunately, those millions do not all vote in her district.

[angstlessk]

20. Hey they voted for a "Democrat", so maybe they want

a Democrat...sans the quotes?

[merrily]

21. They voted for a Democrat who campaigned for three Republicans, so who really knows?

Still, many morans figure the one you already know is better than the one you don't know--and learning about a new candidate is such "hard" work, so why bother, when you can just re-elect Debs?

[angstlessk]

23. SO you WANT DWS to win?

Sorry..I am in Michigan,,I just want her to lose!

[merrily]

25. um, no. I'm the one who posted the donation links for Tim Canova on this thread.

I've also donated to him three times (so far)--from Boston, MA. You?

[angstlessk]

27. Once...I will do more if he looks viable

And I hope he is!

[merrily]

28. Catch 22. Donating only way to help ensure he is viable. She takes PAC money. He doesn't.

[angstlessk]

30. The moment I think he has a 'chance in hell' I will

donate as much as I can...probably 100...but she gets that much from a corporation that bundles that much times 100

WE NEED ONLY GOVERNMENT FINANCED ELECTIONS..and NOT CORPORATE FINANCED ELECTIONS!

[Jefferson23]

31. +1 n/t

[AzDar]

16. Hillary sure surrounds herself with scumbags...

[kgnu_fan]

18. That is so painful to me. She did not have to do this. Why is she contaminating herself?

[merrily]

22. After 2008, she is taking no chances. And it's her turn.

[kgnu_fan]

24. Disastrous turn... nt

[merrily]

26. "Only" for the Party. She seems to be thrilled, FBI investigation and all.

And, to think, once the Enquirer story came out, I blamed Edwards for not bowing out sooner.

See? Everything really is relative.

[MisterP]

19. she thinks she can do this PRECISELY because "we're the party of the poor"

[merrily]

29. Are we still? Are you sure?
