Why the hell not? Fleecing rubes should be encouraged!

I don't know, maybe I'm having a momentary episode of weakness. Obviously this shit doesn't affect me. Even when I was going to church on Sundays we were not sending money off to mega-churches. Honestly I think we were donating about $5 a week to the offering plate. That is not 10% of my salary, so I was looking after number 1 in no uncertain terms. However, watching the John Oliver piece just made me made and think there should be something in place to protect the rubes. Maybe the current system is actually the best one after all.

Wow, back in my going to church days, I'd throw some change in, or maybe a dollar. That was over 30 years ago though, maybe money was worth more back then.
