Participant[quote=sdduuuude]
You and the other guy are trying to make it sound like “progressive tax” means “tax I like” and “regressive tax” as “tax I don’t like” which is unacceptable.Know what a term means and use it properly or don’t bring it up.[/quote]
Not the first time this has been said to BriBri.
LOL.

Participant[quote=briansd1]Surveyor, my use of the word usury relates to some people’s revulsion to excessive profit and gain without any work obtained though greed and avarice.
I thought that you were a student of Christianity.
The subject was greedy sellers asking ridiculous prices.[/quote]
Seriously, you’re bringing religion into this? I shudder to ask what that has to do with usury (the proper definition of it, as opposed to the one that you’ve made up).
And btw I mentioned I was a student of history not christianity. Again, stop making stuff up.

Participant[quote=briansd1]I know surveyor…. I was focusing on what we feel is exorbitant. Interest and profit are interchangeable words depending on the context.[/quote]
You might want to consider that your belief in the idea that interest and profit are interchangeable, the wrong use of the word usury, and justifying said incorrectness as a poetic license really destroys any credibility in your arguments and intelligence.

Participant[quote=briansd1]I actually think that CA Renter makes a good point about human psychology.
I think that there’s an aversion to handing a huge profit to a seller, especially when we know for certain what the seller paid for the item.
That’s what we call usury.
[/quote]No, Brian. Usury is something else.
usury: an exorbitant or unlawful rate of interest
usury: (comes from the Medieval Latin usuria, “interest” or from the Latin usura “interest”) originally meant the charging of interest on loans. This would have included charging a fee for the use of money, such as at a bureau de change.
usury: Charging interest in excess of the maximum rate as set by law.
