Obama: Banks Don't Have 'Inherent Right' to 'Certain Amount of Profit'

by Scotty Starnes

Spoken like a true Marxist/Socialist/Communist. Obama believes the government can regulate how much a business can earn and his regulations are showing his disdain for the free market.

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama suggested on Monday that the nation's banks should "take a little bit less of a profit" rather than raise fees on customers.

In an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Obama was asked if the government can stop banks from imposing a new debit card fee on their customers.

"Well, you can stop it because ... if you say to the banks, 'You don't have some inherent right just to -- you know, get a certain amount of profit if your customers are being mistreated. That you have to treat them fairly and transparently.' And -- and my hope is is that you're going to see a bunch of the banks, who say to themselves, 'You know what? This is actually not good business practice.'

This coming from a man who has never worked in the free market or ran a business. The banks are doing this because of Obama's regulations.

"Banks can make money," Obama said. "They can succeed the old-fashioned way, by earning it -- by lending to small businesses, by lending to consumers. By making sure that-- you know, we are building the economy together."

These are the "fat-cats" Obama pretends to hate as he accepts their money and bails them out.

Obama advocated "protections" (regulations) that Republicans want to roll back. However, as a direct result of those regulations, the nation's major banks are considering a plan to charge customers a $5 monthly service fee for debit card transactions. A provision in the Dodd-Frank Act cut the amount banks could charge merchants for debit card swipes, so the banks may shift the burden onto consumers.
