Comments on: accountability: it’s more than just a memo http://getangrywithme.com/2009/02/accountability-memo/ balls-to-the wall social and media commentary by a writer with no P's and Q's to mind Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:22:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: genders http://getangrywithme.com/2009/02/accountability-memo/comment-page-1/#comment-23874 genders Sat, 14 Feb 2009 20:18:54 +0000 http://getangrywithme.com/?p=1132#comment-23874 Wonderful clip, thank you. I have , however, a couple of issues with subprime recipients. First, some homeowners should take a shred of responsibility for not realizing that their purchases were disproportionate to their incomes, and that their payments would rise in the event that interest rates moved against them. Regardless of the size of the monthly payment, it should have been obvious to families with a total household annual income of $100,000 that they could not afford a half-million dollar home. I'm also a little hinky about foreclosures on non-primary residences bought purely by speculators as rental properties or "investments" that could be flipped for a hasty profit. I'm simply not as sympathetic to their cries for help. Homes are not "investments"; they are places of shelter. Or at least they should be. Love the protests, though, in spite of all that. Wonderful clip, thank you.

"They took me for a chump," he said. Yes, that's right; they've taken us all for a bunch of chumps.

Now if I was elected to congrass I could change that and say I prepared my taxes with Intuit software and it made the mistake not me. Morgan Stanley, I dumped them after they hosed me post 911. So they decreased my networth by 50% , I'm glad I could help them out. It's hard finding talented management to give bonus money to. As a proud home owner I was just informed be mail that me taxes are going up and my property is worth more, can you find me a buyer at that price. We will be heard, we will find a voice and we will make a change. Don’t get me rolling, I’m just one of the millions of Americas that pay my taxes.
