this article does a much better job at telling the whole story than the NYT:
To no surprise, that NYT article didn't bother mentioning how the CFPB was arguably unconstitutional, too powerful, and unnecessary, so it's not a simple story of unabashed corruption like you say it is.

Did you read the article? It was just two critics with opposing opinions of one another that made their case on the CFPB.
The only argument that was presented against the CFPB was that government was too powerful and that free market will inevitably solve itself, which is simply not true. It's not a compelling argument.
I still stand by my statement.

No goetia, you're the stupid one.The very naive, and stupid one.
It's totally describing his issue.You just don't get the context I'm using it in. "YOU just feel(his opinion) so ENTITLED to your rights", meaning "according to YOU, you're entitled to it",meaning he's just making statements,his own very opinion. You're obviously not entitled to it, if it can easily be taken away, then it's simply no longer your right.Basically saying he's self-entitled, he entitles his OWN self to these things. Which is pretty much what've said, already. No one is entitled...no one is...don't make a rule out of anything, just do it cause it's there and it's necessary. Y'all take privileges for granted, and then act so solemnly grand when you have them.Don't get too comfortable...as far as laws and civil rights go.
And those of you, who think that statement is stupid, are simply full of presumptions towards the issue.

i read the article, which is why responded in the first place. It's also no surprise that you're sticking to your opinion, because you're consistently a lot more interested in pushing conspiracy theories as undeniable truth.

What conspiracy theories have I been pushing? Are you saying that this story is also a conspiracy theory? Did Republicans not just vote to deny people the ability to have class-action lawsuits against banks?

Of course people are entitled to their own rights you bumbling idiot. And its not just your stance on rights themselves that is laughable, its the fact that you advocate for the general populace to have what is given to them taken away. If they suddenly just wiped out the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which to begin with isn't legally binding, would you be so willing to give up those rights? These rights are what allows you to protect yourself in legal situations where you have been wronged, and you want those revoked? Sounds like you're against the freedom and rights of people.

No, you being sentimental over rights(which can be taken away from you), is laughable. In life, you just get what you deserve...whether you wanted it or not.
You sound like an idiot. Straight up.People entitle themselves to their rights...people like YOU should have their rights taken away, that's it.You abuse rights, all of you, and manipulate the fact that you have rights to take CONTROL over a situation.An entitled self-righteous BRAT.And when someone takes those rights which you entitled yourself to, you people STRADDLE.A majority of you have no genuine intent. Your views are just opinion based, and you jumping to conclusions about my stance that you'd could never fully comprehend.And to be honest, a lot of you assume the worst...when something bad happens.
I don't need to feel entitled to say what I want to say.I'll just f*cking say it.
"entitled"...so damn nonsensical.You request, simply because it's necessary and you DEMAND it.That's just speaking up for yourself.You don't need the approval of someone else or some rule, to know what's right for you.

People don't entitle themselves to their own rights, they are given to them by people in power. What is unfair is those rights being taken away in order to benefit corporations and shitty business practice. Your approach to this, among other things like protest, is so pathetically defeatist it almost makes me pity any future generations I hope you never sire. Are you so daft that you can't grasp that views are shaped by fact? You wanna attack other people's views when you can't even manage to come up with ones that aren't retarded, let alone defend your strawman arguments that only show how intellectually deficient you are. You wanna resort to name-calling? Fine, its only confirmation that you're the exact type of moron society has to move according to; the section of the population that are such ****wits that they ruin things for everyone else.
