Operation Choke Point, a credit card fraudicon1.png task force run by the Justice Department, was created to “choke out” businesses the Obama administration finds objectionable, according to a congressional committee report obtained by The Washington Times.

The administration is knowingly targeting so-called “high risk” businessesicon1.png — which include payday lenders, gun retailers and ammunition merchants — despite the fact they are legitimate, says a staff report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Internal documents within the Justice Department acknowledge the program’s impact on legitimate merchants, the report says. Attorney General Eric Holder was informed that banksicon1.png were exiting entire lines of business deemed “high risk” by the government, yet his agency continued to pursue the operation.

The French government took over France's banks a few decades ago, but the Obama Administration (and, to a lesser extent, the Bush Administration before it) knows that Americans probably wouldn't stand for that kind of thing, so instead the now-tyrannical American government is doing it at arm's length using its regulatory powers to intimidate our banks to "play ball or else."  Honestly, legal businesses in this once-great nation are being flayed alive by an out-of-control, unelected regulatory bureaucracy. This has got to stop.
