I'm not complaining about Visa or Mastercard fees in the US.

I am pointing out the absurdity of the original European claim that such fees are "protection money" to the US, when the EU is getting a sweetheart deal relative to the US. It's typical disingenuous European rhetoric.

Europe is not getting a "sweetheart deal".

I know it's difficult for you to comprehend, but Governments are supposed to act in the interest of the general population of their country, not for companies and the 1%.

And that includes making sure that markets are working and regulating (near) monopolies
