How about they get to keep the house, but I come over every once in a while and **** in their mailbox?
I'm right there with ya Tucker. Same type of BS happening to my dad.
For instance, one of my relatives has been roughly three to four months delinquent on their mortgage payments, as such, they qualified for a $100,000 deduction off their principal while their interest rate was lowered and fixed at five percent. This relative has never really had any terrible misfortune befall him or his family that would cause him financial ruin. They were relatively well off for as long as I have known them, except they failed, excuse me,
refused to live within their means, hence the delinquent payments.
My dad, on the other hand, has always made his mortgage payments on time and without fail. He busts his ass almost all day, every day to make sure his family is able to maintain its standard of living. Lately, due to the rough patch in the economy, things have gotten tighter for him and he's had to work even harder, and, because of pending regulations on the appraisal market the future of his business is questionable. About eight to ten people are under his employ at a given time and they all make roughly fifty to sixty thousand dollars a year; many of them have families.
My dad came from a blue collar family and he worked terribly hard to make good grades in both high school and college. After graduating from the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana) with honors, he took a risk and started his own business which became successful, and because of his success he falls into the tax bracket so often demonized by liberal cry-babies who think he doesn't really need a tax break.
So, basically, my dad, who has always done the right thing and worked hard in order to provide his family with a little extra - that little extra he never had as a kid - is straining to make ends meet, and the business he started over nineteen years ago is facing a questionable future because the government may enact regulations which would essentially put him out of business. Not only that but the tax break he received will most likely be taken away from him so that some lazy f*cking scrub ass bum who doesn't give a sh*t about anyone but themselves can go buy another months worth of McDonald's and beer.
The moral of the story: If you succeed in life Democrats will just take your money, give it to someone less deserving than you, and ruin your business with crippling regulations in order to make things "fair". There's a reason why some people hate liberals so much, can't say I blame them either.
This country is so f*cked...
