Ask me how...
Sonja and I ran to Home Depot last night and I saw the walking debt-dealer again...so I grabbed Sonja's phone and had to take a picture (hurray for camera phones!)
Do you know what the number 1 source of profit is for Sears? It's not the fine Craftsman tools, or the electronics, or the clothes. It's the interest they charge on the Sears Credit Card. Take a look at downtown Seattle. Who owns some of the biggest buildings? Banks. Who paid for those big things? Did they hold a bakesale in the foyer, or a carwash in the parking lot? No, the people who are indebted to them paid for that, one late fee at a time...
