There should be a law making it mandatory that anyone taking out a payday loan complete a 2 hour investment course prior to signing a contract. The investment course should cover interest rates and be paid for by the payday loan companies and administered by an independent organization. They should be available anytime.
There ought to be a law or a special welfare program in which those who borrow are required to pay back 1 and 1/2 times the amount they borrowed and serve as mentors for others who join the program.
One quarter of the extra payback could go to administrative costs and the other quarter to handle defaults thereby making the system self-funding except for the initial startup costs.
When people file bankruptcy, they should have to forfeit direct and indirect assets of their bad debt.
Example.
When a collage graduate or student file for bankruptcy o student loans, books or credit cards and school supplies are on those credit cards. The student must forfeit his or hers degree.
The purpose and results of this will be fewer bankruptcies. Students will find a way to pay off their loans instead of taking the easy way out.
If two or more people are involved in the act of a crime and only one is caught. The one that is caught should have to do the time for the others who were not.
Example.
Three me rob a bank and only one is caught. The maximum time for each robber is 15 years. if the one robber dose not cooperate in the capture of the other two. He must do their time, 45 years. Even if they are captured after trial, he must finish the complete sentence.
People who are on welfare should not have the right to vote.
