    Dish Network Thinks "Money Is For Nothin’ . . .’

     . . . and the chicks are free.’* Dish Network, the satellite TV company thinks it’s perfectly logical and legal to charge people for their service even when they don’t have a dish or a receiver.

    Apparently, all they need is access to your

    checking account or credit card, as seen in the following incident.Below is a snip of the Byzantine illogic companies like this employ as reported by Kevin Hogan:

    . . .

    Hogan: “Do you teach your children it’s OK to steal from people? You can’t simply go into peoples bank accounts and take money out.”

    DN: “He told us to do it on March 26.”

    Hogan: “In return for what service?” My anger was seething? “There is NO SERVICE AT THE APARTMENT.” 

    DN: “There doesn’t have to be. He told us to take the money out of his account monthly and we did that.”
