Haven't we already been over this?
Fraudulent and predatory businesses should be shut down.
And that's what this is about. No legitimate business will go under.
What Do Chase Bank, Condoms, The Tea Party, And Petty Fraud Have In Common?
But banks, payment processing firms and a relatively new lobbying group called the Third Party Payment Processors Association have been going wild on Capitol Hill in recent months over a pretty conventional law enforcement effort with a salacious name: Operation Choke Point. The project attempts to curb money laundering by scrutinizing banks and payment processors that facilitate transactions with illegal businesses -- petty fraudsters running payday lending scams, sham telemarketing operations and other shady groups.
It's Money Laundering 101, but the program's detractors have portrayed it as a vicious government effort to dictate what kinds of companies banks can do business with.
The most extreme element of the movement comes from the anonymous, conspiratorial website stopthechoke.com, a site that features an image of President Barack Obama as Godzilla "destroying America" and warns that guns, ammunition, pharmaceuticals and other whole industries may soon be eliminated. The site has developed a bit of a following on Facebook, with more than 37,000 likes.

More speculation than you could shake a stick at.
You can add "if this is really a sinister plot, and we have no evidence to that effect" to any story.
"we have no evidence" right after speculation means "I'm a jackass, not a journalist" .
Well, since businesses are now 'persons' legally, predatory businesses can be subject to criminal laws, and executed if necessary.

Businesses have always been subject to criminal laws, oh he who always puts his foot in his mouth.
By the way, feel free to list all the criminal charges filed during Operation Choke Point.

And you walked right into it, QWB, yet again. Of course businesses are subject to criminal laws, and that is where the OP falls in not making its affirmation and you walk blindly into the pit behind it.
By the way, list all the ways that businesses are being persecuted 'politically.'

Operation Choke point is not using criminal law to make a case against anyone, it is using the power of the government to target businesses the government does not agree with.
Feel free to prove me wrong by showing all the criminal charges filed as a result of the operation the government admitted wasn't following the law. On the other hand, you could just admit I am right, this time.
Fraudulent and predatory businesses should be shut down.
Fraudulent and predatory businesses should be shut down.
Exactly, right after the dept of justice receives a conviction and a judge shuts their doors. No fucking bureaucrat has the authority with out due process.

Your last sentence is not clear.
Yes, government officials working within regulations and rules can act in ways to temporarily shut doors if the potential harm outweighs the business's right to be open.

I don't have to prove your opinion wrong, because you have given no evidence that it or the OP are right.
The far right reactionaries think their opinions are facts; hint: they are not.
Waiting for you to prove the OP but your opinion is not fact.
Get to work.

You missed the point again there ya senile old bastard, do you not know the difference between temporarily closed and shut down, which denotes permanence. But they usually have to have a court order to even close them for a short time.
