Take the job. Times are tough and getting tougher. Nobody is being forced to accept or use credit cards or to keep a balance on them month after month and pay interest.

Is it unethical to sell credit card machines and service? Many libertarians and certainly most Liberty Dollar activists rail against the current debt-based system, of which credit cards are so much a part. Recently I was presented with an opportunity to sell credit card processing and equipment for a very high commission structure, and as I am looking for additional income I am moving forward with pursuing this. The way I see it is, credit cards are not un-libertarian and anti-liberty per se. It is possible to have credit cards and credit lending while still having a silver and gold standard and economic liberty and self-ownership, although we don't have this right now. So what do you in the libertarian community think of this? Is it ok to take this job or should I feel guilty about perpetuating the credit card economy house of cards and facilitating more debt and more power for the banking industry, if in fact that is what I would be doing?
