Everyone is wondering where on Earth is the Grinch this Christmas Season? We have looked all over and he is nowhere to be found, or is he? Indeed we have searched high and low and all around. Where is he and what diabolical scheme is he up too? Well we have found the Grinch and guess where he Lives? He lives in Washington D.C, he is Gay and works for the FTC. How is this possible and why would our government hire such a man? What motives do they have to crush Christmas; why would any agency try to ruin Christmas? Are you sure you really want to know?

Well, the FTC online fraud division has been unable to stop SPAM, so they have been out scaring folks and telling them of all the possible online scams and identity theft that might occur if you buy something online. You see the agency is looking pretty silly for its piss poor performance to stop SPAM, but still needs its funding so it has to put fear into consumers and educate them about online hazards in order to prove their self worth. If they do not look like they are doing something their budget will be reduced. This has hurt online sales, as many consumers believe that the chances of having their personal information stolen is about 20 times higher than it really is. In fact the FTC has embellished the problem so much that many people will not buy online at all. The FTC has effectively hurt many small business people who sell online.

So exactly who at the Federal Trade Commission is responsible for this? Well they work in the Consumer Protection Division and well you can call them the Grinch. Why would the FTC or any government agency want to do such a thing to the millions of small businesses, which sell their wares online? Why would the put the blob of bureaucracy ahead of the men and women who make up the largest sector of our economy? Think on this.
