Let's not forget that Democrats are in on this too. I have an old post at DU that will take me a little bit to find. Here it is:
Usury Explosion: Northern Virginia Becomes Hotbed for Car-Title Lending Industry
The post contains quotes from newspaper articles:
Usury Explosion: Northern Virginia Becomes Hotbed for Car-Title Lending Industry
INDUSTRY LEADERS contributed generously to members of the General Assembly and lobbied heavily to get their way. Since 2009, LoanMax contributed more than $500,000 and Fast Auto Loans contributed more than $200,000. {Senate Democratic leader Dick Saslaw (D-35)} received the largest individual contributions, receiving $22,000 from Fast Auto Loans and almost $20,000 from LoanMax. Many of the other legislators voting in support of the industry also received financial support from car-title lenders. When asked about his support of the 2011 bill, Del. Bob Brink (D-48) had little to say.

Del. Mark D. Sickles (D-Fairfax) said the industry’s expansion illustrates a demand for small loans that banks are not meeting. ... “There are not a lot of other lenders out there aggressively pursuing people who need these small loans, which is too bad, because I think they can offer them a better deal,” said Sickles, who, like several other state lawmakers, has been a regular recipient of campaign contributions from title loan businesses.
