You can take the activist out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of the activist.

When we are approached with another Socialist program we Must say No Thank you! We have enough. Our Politicians & future Politicians need to be made aware that we want them to SAY NO! NO MORE, NO WAY, NO THANK YOU! NO!!!! Enough!

I see a lot of this in my area. A lot of lower income buyers bought $500,000-$700,000 homes with the idea that they’d rent rooms to a lot of friends and relatives.

The result would be a 4 or 5 bedroom house with a dozen roofers, painters, hotel maids and day loborers living in it. When construction stopped and hospitality slowed down, the poor guy who got the loan was left making the payment on a $ 1/2 million home. If this guy happens to be an unskilled worker, there’s virtually no chance he could afford that home at even 1 % interest.

Zsa Zsa – No, you’re phrasing was right on – you just forgot the disclaimer part. Free homes for Everyone!
(this offer does not apply to hard-working taxpayers who live responsibly and within their means).

My disgust with this whole situation leads me to be much more sarcastic than usual. Glad to hear you’re in a stable situation also. I paid off my house about ten years ago and have never looked to finance my way up the ladder again. Getting out of debt takes hard work and discipline, but man it does feel good when you get here.

Obama and company do not want this to work, they are simply doing everything they can to bring down capitalism and install socialism in it’s place. They are throwing up smokescreens to make people believe that they are doing all they reasonably can to “save” us. And when that doesn’t work (it’s coming failure should be obvious to anyone capable of analytical thinking), they will say, well, we tried, but now we have to really take drastic action. By that point the masses will be so shell-shocked they’ll let the government do anything to stop the pain.

There is no other logical conclusion you can reach to explain the actions of trying to get us out of debt by massively increasing the debt through deficit spending. Kind of like cutting off your left ear because you’re going deaf in your right ear.

IMHO Obama is making his plans by using Chavez’s handbook. Please the poor and you will be elected forever. By the time the middle class wakes up, most of this plans will be in place and the laws will have been changed. This guy is all Chicago Machine Politics. I do not think this guy has any moral fiber at all……..scary.

how is it news that poor people cant afford things?

The banking queen says that if we don’t subsidize defaulting mortgages then property taxes will drop due to foreclosures. And of course we can’t just subsidize property taxes, that would be too obvious. So we’ll borrow future tax reciepts to pay mortgages the market will not sustain to ensure property tax revenues continue. Yeah, that’ll work Barney.

Oh what a tangled fiscal web liberals weave.

This is why I’ve advocated for years that people buy into the inner city. It’s time for white/black/latino/money flight out of the city to bank hard, turn around and go back and clean it up. They don’t have any money to refuse us and our votes count for ever more as we are the ones revitalizing the neighborhoods, not liberals handing us stolen table scraps.

For thousands of years humans when faced with disasters within settlements have scattered from those settlements outwards in almost circular rings, resettling in sparser settlements farther out as what they left behind rotted and died. With plagues, social change, etc., humans have run. We need to stop.

We of the middle class paying bills and taxes still have the power in the end. Not the poor who live off table scraps the left hands them as leftovers from the much larger amount they stole from us. Not the truly few rich because rich is a static wealth measurement, not a dynamic income flow measurement and we the middle class have the dynamic flow that makes this country work.

Buy into the sub $200K market in the smaller cities, refit and renovate, move in and come to stay. There are rental properties that even in today’s climate are on the market for $150K, have three apartments, and it would be a $20K investment up front for renovations, and rents would fetch $600-$1000/month/apartment.

A LOT of the multifamilies recently redone in my neighborhood were redone by latinos, most of them immigrants. If people from Mexico who came here with little money can bust ass to become landlords raising their families well, why not everyone else?

People have a right to no more than they can afford. If they can’t, they simply don’t buy it. This system of underwriting the unaffordable on the backs of everyone else so that some can enjoy status symbol homes they otherwise wouldn’t only leaves poverty behind for the libs to seize power over. Give up on those strongholds and you get Detroit. Time to come back and kick ass.
