Let's be clear----sucking all cash out of an economy is not Socialist as the sucking is taking it to the richest still using cash. The intent is simply to return to the ancient capitalist structure where only the rich few have access to money.
THESE ARE NOT SOCIALIST STRUCTURES FOLKS----THEY ARE ANCIENT FEUDALISM STRUCTURES!
Don't be discouraged because all of this is illegal and we can reverse it easy peasy by simply
GETTING RID OF THESE GLOBAL CORPORATE NEO-LIBERALS AND NEO-CONS. ALL MARYLAND POLS ARE WORKING FOR THE GLOBAL CORPORATE TRIBUNAL.
Subpriming went wild in 2006 giving us the crash of 2008 and that is what this past year has been about as well. Subpriming in 2004-2005 will lead to the crash of 2006. Those that do not care if the poor and low-income get pulled into this cycle of fleecing should know what is being fleeced is your Social Security Trust, Medicare Trust, Disability Trust, your pensions, public buildings and public real estate, public infrastructure. AN INJUSTICE FOR ONE DOES BECOME INJUSTICE FOR ALL----handing your car title for a loan at the time of a great economic crash means Wall Street gets your car. Remember, after this crash interest rates and inflation will soar so the loans you signed this year will have you bankrupt over the next few years. GET RID OF ALL DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TITLE LOAN APR RANGES FROM 36% UP TO 360% If you miss a payment, and/or make a late payment, your car can be repossessed. Interest and fees accrue through the date of repossession. We do not renew loans after a default pursuant to the terms of your agreement. We do not report to credit reporting agencies. Please visit our comprehensive Rates & Terms Section.
I saw an ad for a car needing only $29 down with monthly payments of $169 and the interest rates were 0% for the first few years but we all know in two years those rates will soar----just as the subprime mortgage loans did that caused people to lose their houses. This is deliberately meant to take your car. You pay monthly for two years and then you lose the car....they have that cash. If you are the middle-class not caring if working class are being fleeced you need to know that the US middle-class is going to be gone you with it. So, use your voice to not only educate against this policy----but to educate to get rid of these pols allowing all of this.
Why car title loans are a bad idea
By Christopher Neiger (AOL Autos) -- Cash advances are not a new concept in America's brand of capitalism. Many people have seen the commercials with some guy barking out, "Bad credit, no credit, no problem!" Or, "Don't worry about credit, I own the bank!"
In addition to high interest, these car title loans usually include a number of fees that add up quickly.
Anytime some guy is telling you he owns the bank, run.
Even though these lenders have been around for a while, signing your car over for a high-interest loan has become a serious financial issue.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of car title loans, allow us to explain.
At times, the best of us get strapped for cash; we may have no credit or bad credit (just like they say in the commercials), which keeps us from getting small loans from a bank or some other more traditional means.
A title loan offers you cash from the lender, in return you sign over the title of your paid-for car to secure the loan. Typically, these loans are due back in full 30 days later. There's no credit check and only minimal income verification.
It sounds pretty straightforward, but borrowing from these places can lead to a repossession of your car and a whole lot of financial trouble.
Interest rates that make credit card companies blush
Car title loans have been lumped into the "predatory lending" category by many consumers. Non-profit organizations such as Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the Center for Responsible Lending have issued detailed reports outlining some of the title loan issues that the public should be leery about.
One of the biggest issues with these loans is interest rates. Many people dislike credit card interest rates, which average between the mid to high teens for most Americans. Car title loan interest rates make complaining about credit rates seem ludicrous.
Car title lenders are in a different category than credit card companies or banks and work around usury laws. Thus, title loan lenders are able to charge triple digit annual percentage rates (APRs). Yes, triple digits. It's not an exaggeration to see 250% APR and higher on these car tile loans and only a handful of states have passed strict laws that prohibit exorbitant percentage rates.
Even if your credit card company is charging you a high interest of 25% APR, it's nothing compared to car title loans.
By federal law, title loan lenders have to disclose the interest rates in terms of the annual percentage. If you have to get a title loan, make sure they don't just give you a quote of the monthly percentage rate, they have to give it to you as an APR. If they are unclear about the rates, which many can be, just know that a monthly rate of 25% is equivalent to a 300% APR.
Fees and interest only payments
In addition to high interest, these car title loans usually include a number of fees that add up quickly. These include processing fees, document fees, late fees, origination fees and lien fees. AOL Autos: Safest cars
Sometimes there is also a roadside assistance program that borrowers can purchase for another small fee. Some lenders have even gone so far as to make the roadside assistance mandatory. The cost of all these fees can be anywhere from $80 to $115, even for a $500 loan.
Most of these fees are legal, except one that lenders sometimes charge, the repossession fee. Lenders are not allowed to charge you to repossess your vehicle, but some still do.
As if high interest rates and a mountain of fees weren't enough, lenders also give borrowers the option of interest-only payments for a set period of time. In these cases, the loans are usually set up for a longer period of time (compared to the typical 30 days) and the borrower can pay the interest only on the loan.
These types of payments are called "balloon payments" where the borrower pays the interest of the loan each month and at the end of the term they still owe the full amount of the loan.
The CFA reported that one woman paid $400 a month for seven months on an interest-only payment term for a $3,000 loan. After paying $2,800 in interest, she still owed the original $3,000 in the eighth month. AOL Autos: Most popular crossover vehicles
Rolling over and repossession
If you think most of the people who take out these loans pay them back in full after one month, think again. Because of the high interest and the fact that these lenders cater to low-income borrowers, many people aren't able to pay back their loans in the 30-day period. This is called "rolling over" the loan.
The terms of these loans are crafted to keep borrowers in a cycle of debt and bring customers either to the verge of repossession or to actual repossession. Not being able pay off the initial loan and then renewing it the next month costs borrowers even more money in interest, on top of the original amount they've already borrowed. AOL Autos: Used luxury cars
Let's talk about repossession for minute. The CFA reported that, of the people they interviewed in their 2004 study, 75% had to give the title loan lenders a copy of their car keys. Some companies started the cars to see if they worked and took pictures of the vehicle even before a customer filled out the loan application.
A company based in Arizona said they have GPS systems installed on the cars so they can track the cars and shut them off remotely if they don't receive payment on time. That may be an extreme case, but these lenders take a customer's promissory signature very seriously. If you can't pay, they will come looking for you and your car.
The concerns for having your car repossessed are obvious. How do you get to work, drop off the kids at school, pick up groceries or go out on the weekends without a car? As if those scenarios weren't bad enough, owning a car can be some people's biggest financial asset. If the car is taken away, so goes the money it was worth.
Some states have laws that force the lenders to pay you the difference of the loan once a lender has repossessed and sold your car, but some don't. It is possible to default on the loan and not get any money back for your car, even if you only borrowed a few hundred dollars.
This occurs because car title loans are also over-secured. Typically, the maximum amount most lenders will give you is 25 to 50 percent of what your car is actually worth. However, if you can't pay back the loan they may be able to sell your car and keep 100% of the profit. Some lenders won't take possession of a vehicle but instead take the customer to court for the money. They then tack on court costs and finance charges on top of the existing loan amount.
Alternatives
Many car title loan lenders defend their business practices by saying they offer loans to people who would otherwise not be able to gain financial assistance. Although this may be partly true, signing over one of your most valuable assets for several hundred dollars is not the only option.
Some credit unions, like in North Carolina, have begun providing loans that have low interest rates of about 12% APR, a fixed 31-day repayment plan (to keep from rolling over a loan) and set up direct deposit out of the borrower's paycheck so that loans will be paid off in full.
Other options may be paycheck cash advances from your employer, cash advances on credit cards, emergency community assistance, small consumer loans, or borrowing from friends or family.
If you find yourself contemplating a car title loan, check out these alternative options and read the information for yourself at www.responsiblelending.org or www.consumerfed.org. If you still need to sign over your car for cash, educate yourself on the decision and know the possible repercussions of these types of loans

I showed in the past that labor unions are now in the business of pushing these loans through their credit unions. They know this crash is coming and yet they are still marketing these home and auto loans. The NAACP was given a 'donation' from Wells Fargo for mortgage assistance in lieu of paying a trillion dollars in mortgage fraud to the people actually victims of fraud. Looking at NAACP investments it appears that bolus of money went right into Baltimore Development/Wall Street urban development that everyone hates.
Who was pedalling subprime loans in 2006? They are probably the same ones pedalling subprime loans today. This is why in the US our national labor union and justice organization leadership is not working for the people----WE NEED TO GET OUR LABOR AND JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF WALL STREET.
The State of Maryland is Wall Street which is why all pols are Clinton neo-liberals or Bush neo-cons. The State as with the City of Baltimore actually preys on its citizens----sets them up to be fleeced----you don't have to be working class. Below you see our criminally operated cartel of a government marketing mortgage loans that are probably funds from the subprime mortgage settlement that never made it to the victims of fraud---many of which were in Baltimore. Maryland knows this bond market crash is coming----O'Malley and Maryland Assembly and Baltimore City Hall worked hard to make sure government is positioned for maximized losses. Yet it has for the last few years marketed these mortgage loans this time to the middle-class with equity knowing huge job losses are around the corner. So, Baltimore is giving breaks to lure middle-class professional to buy in the city as the crash will no doubt end with these families in bankruptcy and losing these houses. IT'S LIKE A VENUS FLY TRAP-----LURE THOSE WITH ASSETS IN AND THEN FLEECE THEM. This is the Ivy League Johns Hopkins lying, cheating, and stealing their way to global corporation. If you look at these Maryland State websites they look like a front for a shell corporation-----
KEEP IN MIND----THE WALL STREET MODUS OPERANDI IS MOVING FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REVENUE THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS TO WALL STREET LOANS THAT THEY ALL KNOW WILL LEAD TO DEFAULT----WE LOSE TAXPAYER MONEY IN THE ORIGINAL DEAL AND THE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR HOMES/PHYSICAL ASSETS.

We are going to hear all kinds of propaganda on who did what and which party philosophy is best as this crash occurs. Let's be clear-----it is coming. Ron Paul has a commercial promoting himself and Libertarianism as the solution to protecting civil rights and it is laissez-faire----complete deregulation and allowing everyone to do what they want. WHICH IS WHAT NEO-LIBERALISM HAS BEEN ABOUT. Neo-liberalism is libertarianism except that libertarians are tied to US national sovereignty and neo-liberals are tied to a global corporate tribunal. AYN RAND is the voice of Libertarianism and its extreme wealth and inequity. As Ron Paul calls social welfare a trap for people he is right----if we allow the rich to gain complete power as we have------third world nations use social programs to keep people impoverished and quiet.
WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT NEED TO ALLOW THE RICH TO CONTROL GOVERNMENT WHICH IS WHY SOCIAL PROGRAMS ARE NOT WORKING.
Under Libertarianism there is the same conditions of extreme wealth inequity and deregulated free-for-all. This does not lead to civil rights. This is why we fought for civil rights for goodness sake. Ron Paul is right----the US FEDERAL RESERVE is the problem but guess what-----Alan Greenspan who allowed for all this systemic financial fraud under the guise of complete deregulation IS AN AYN RAND DISCIPLE----A LIBERTARIAN. Think Ron Paul named his son Rand after Ayn Rand? ABSOLUTELY.
America is in the grips of the rich and our political parties in all directions are pushing philosophy that will not end well for a social democracy with a strong middle-class and civil liberties and rights.
PLEASE FIGHT FOR SOCIAL DEMOCRACY WITH A PROGRESSIVE LABOR AND JUSTICE POLICY -----EDUCATE AS TO WHY THESE POLS ARE SELLING POLITICS THAT WILL KILL OUR DEMOCRATIC BASE.
- AYN RAND
- Although she rejected the labels "conservative" and "libertarian",[176] Rand has had continuing influence on right-wing politics and libertarianism.[11] Jim Powell, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, considers Rand one of the three most important women (along with Rose Wilder Lane and Isabel Paterson) of modern American libertarianism
- The Libertarian Party is an American national libertarian political party that promotes civil liberties, free markets, and laissez-faire
Neoliberalism
Since the 1980s, the term has been used primarily by scholars and critics in reference to the resurgence of 19th century ideas associated with laissez-faire economic liberalism beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, whose advocates support extensive economic liberalization policies such as privatization, fiscal austerity, deregulation, free trade, and reductions in government spending in order to enhance the role of the private sector in the economy
