“They don’t have any need for the loans, but they want to tell other people what to do.”
Steven Schlein, spokesman for a payday lenders trade association, describes the industry’s critics as elitists…
In response to consumer group accusations that payday lenders target minority communities and prey on the poor, elderly, low-income wage earners and people who rely on government assistance, he said:

Steven Schlein is a spokesman for the Virginia-based industry group Community Financial Services Association.
