War On the Middle Class?

Budget and Taxes Do you feel that raising taxes will help solve the debt of the United States? Are you a fan of Reaganomics?

War On the Middle Class?

You will never understand how highly I encourage all of you to watch this!!
This is something I've been touting for YEARS...here's the latest example[/url]...

This "attack on the middle class" is one of the biggest BS lines this country likes to pull on itself...

It's nice to see it being exposed...

Tell that to the many who are now wandering the streets after losing their homes; to the many who are traveling about the country looking for work; to the many who are now working jobs that are paying half of what they used to make; and etc.

That landscaper depicted is probably using illegal aliens to do the work in his business. And maybe that "cop" depicted should be investigated...

Too many ballcappers who make less than $25K a year qualifying for $250K homes is the problem.

This ballcapper makes that much in a year, but lives in a $500K home. Geez, I must be a lucky SOB.

And how many of them are the result of their OWN failings?...

Take them out of the equasion and it's greatly reduced...

The majority of people "lose their homes" for one reason and one reason only...

They are not prepared to deal with future consequences...

Personal responsibility...It should be mandatory...

I bet you couldn't afford to buy that home at $25k if you were shopping for it today though.

You cannot argue that point in a sweeping generalisation. Maybe it would be personally responsible for a mortgage lender to not give loans to people they know can't afford them. They are the educated party involved in the transaction.

But then you have some people saying that the mortgage practices are discriminatory. It's a double edged sword. Poor people clamoring for things that they can't afford and then you have politicians forcing banks to create ways for then to own homes. Then when they get into them, they figure out they shouldn't have been there in the first place and the politicians again have to "save" them. Bullshit.
