Are Credit Card Companies Like Drug Dealers?
Question by Jesse Pinkman: Are credit card companies like drug dealers?
If someone gets deep into credit card debt or drug addiction it is fundamentally their fault. However, in both instances a supplier has willingly supplied them a product they *knew* was going to be abused and used irresponsibly much to the detriment of its consumer.
As such, are credit card companies one of the least ethical legal industries in the world?
(Before some half-wit degenerate accuses *me* of having poor credit and running up my bills let me state I have hardly any credit. I have one credit card for emergencies and online purchases and I pay cash for everything else.)

I don’t think so because like drugs its all choice. So no I do not think credit card companies are like drug dealers. Credit Card companies tell you everything you need to know while drug dealers lie to get you to buy.

Not necessarily “like drug dealers”… They don’t sell drugs. They provide credit, which when used wisely isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just because some people fail to use credit responsibly doesn’t make it bad, most people don’t actually abuse credit or use it irresponsibly. By your line of thinking, car manufactures would be unethical because they *know* some of their cars will be driven irresponsibly and result in death. Where’s the sense of personal responsibility?
