“I think that was a 49% tax on the 1% and a partial regulation on the system so ya thats a big start to a boost in the economy. Right now money is being siphoned out of the country, this way money would start flowing creating jobs.
Staying the same is not the answer.”

“In the case of the foreclosure I'm buying the woman who owned it before worked in real estate and still was too stupid to realize she was paying hundreds of thousands over what it was really worth. In the end her son lived there and would drag race down the street with friends. I found this out by asking a neighbor who had to call the police on many occasions. These weren't victims. These were idiots.”

“I'm sitting here reading people's comments and wondering if some of the the people replying actually read what I wrote.

Nowhere in my response did I write that I blame people who lost jobs, etc. People need to read the second paragraph. We all know what happened with crazy loans, etc.

My question is: What makes people look at a property that two years before was half the price and think, "Great, I'll buy that with 0 down with a fluctuating interest rate and everything will turn out okay"? Or people who refinanced and refinanced using their homes as ATM's to go on vacations, buy stuff and not realize they were getting in over their heads. Some of these people were smart people. I know some of them, so what happened? Not all of them were duped. Some of them must have had second thoughts at some point and still went ahead. It's not as if guns were being put to their heads.

And to all those of you who think that greed only exists in large banking institutions I say to you that I have yet to meet Jesus or anyone like that in my lifetime in banking or out.

The internet is great, but I do find that people don't seem willing to take the time to read (or proof read for that matter) before they spew.”

“Headed that way tomorrow, thanks for the tip.”

“thank you - I just got lucky..”

“Your mother was the fortunate one to have a daughter like you.”

“But you can get a $7 million book deal.
And lotsa reichwing media millions.”

“Everyone should feel safe where they work, if they don't, they have a right to change jobs..even during the bad times we are in.

Some things..such as self preservation..are more important than anything else.”

“"Those who are truly believers in Christ better learn to speak up and defend their religion from those who call themselves Christians...."

I do so constantly in this threads, as do other Christians. Typically, I'm mistaken for a far-right-wing hater of gays and women, or told I'm a cretin for being a believer, or simply trolled (paging John from C.) for the crime of posting something.

If I had a dollar for every time I've been told that moderate Christianity is an impossibility, I'd be on one lavish vacation right now.”

“We real Christians are out here and we are protesting in ways we can! I do and I am in public places and internet sites where I can. I use Frank Schaeffer's information as much as possible to promote sound thinking. Unfortunately, nut cases and the right-wing are so loud, along with Fox News. the problem is then all fundamental Christians get lumped into the stupidity with these people. They ruin it for everyone - I mean everyone - Christians and nonChristians alike.”

“In this Congress--the NRA has no need to force its beliefs through with violence--the NRA has far more support among the electorate than the gun banners”

“Timothy McViegh resigned from the NRA several years before the Oklahoma bombing specifically because he did NOT agree with their policies. So to suggest his NRA membership had anything to do with his terrorism is absurd. The fact that he advocated terrorism and they didn't is the reason he left the NRA in the first place.”

“And you're basing your interpretation off of Josh's statements I'm sure. This is the same person that is trying to redesignate bolt action hunting rifles as 'intermediate sniper rifles".”
