At least Ed Schultz is taking conservative callers.
And no, before Bushanomics, only a small number of people ever needed to be bailed out. You act like Americans caused this crisis. Sorry they lost their jobs and can't find new jobs that pay enough. Lucky for you it hasn't happened to you.
And thank god we live in a society where we realize that we are all in this together.
And the only people that benefitted from the last 8 years are the rich powerful corporations. And they got bailed out, even though they caused this mess.
So if anyone should get bailed out, it is the homeowners who were set up by predatory lending allowed because of deregulations. And caused by jobs going overseas. And caused by lowering the value of labor by hiring illegals. Are you starting to see how it is all connected? Can I give you a I TOLD YOU SO?
Sorry you were responsible, put 20% down, paid every payment, etc. Sorry you were responsible. But this homeowner plan will help you too. It will stop your home value from going down any further.
And did you read my UBS story? Where thousands of rich Americans are avoiding American taxes by putting their money in Switzerland? No wonder we can't pay our bills.
You had some validity in this post that got lost in the rhetoric. I hate the term "predatory lending". There are assholes in every aspect of life that try to take advantage of you. You just have to know when they're trying to do so. I've been through the home buying process four times, every time they "pre-qualify" me for a higher amount than i could really afford. Yet i refrained from going for that higher amount and stayed within my means. The asshole loan officers don't care if you can afford it or not, they just want you to take the larger loan for THEIR benefit.
As far as the rich not paying taxes, i'm 100% with you there. What burns me up an extra degree is that hypocrite dems, whose whole philosophy is they want us to pay higher taxes are some of the biggest offenders.
Should hypocritical politicians smear the points? How many dick sucking conservatives have we ever seen preach about morals? I assure you, hypocrite dems are no quicker to take advantage of tax loopholes than republicans.
Easy there Francis, dick sucking repubs AND dems are guilty of it. The point was that dems typically preach higher taxes, not repubs. Repubs are hypocrites when it comes to personal morals, no doubt. Point is, a repub with his "morals" gets caught with a $20 hooker, who does that hurt ? Himself and his family, that's about it. Dems hypocrisy is to take more of my money ( higher taxes ) but don't wanna follow the same guidelines themselves. You're a true kool aid drinker though, so i'm not gonna convince you no matter what i say.
Last warning before i sick DavidS on you !
