The right to spend one's money as one chooses is a fundamental freedom, provided the expenditures are lawful. Allowing banks and credit card companies to arbitrarily restrict where consumers can make purchases sets a concerning precedent of financial censorship. This legislation aims to safeguard consumer choice and prevent discrimination against legal industries or transactions based on the personal views of payment processors. Consumers, not corporations, should control where their funds go within the bounds of the law. Passing this bill upholds principles of economic liberty and promotes a free market unencumbered by undue constraints from financial institutions.
