Oh, and one last little thing. Americans want the wealth to be more evenly distributed. They don't think it's fair that the rich have all the money. Guess what? Americans represent 3% of the world's population, and consume more than 25% of its resources. If we expand this theory outside of your own ...

Imagine for a moment that someone inherits a farm. Let's say that the farm has good topsoil, a good well, good breeding stock, good seed, and excellent farm equipment in good repair. Prior to passing into the control of the present owner the farm did a good business selling vegetables, meat, and da...

Your analogy about the drug user/drug dealer dynamic is utterly hollow. The act of taking out a mortgage on a home is not a 'drug'. Nor is it inherently addictive. Credit is the drug. Americans are beyond a doubt addicted to easy credit. It's not just the mortgage. It's the multiple credit cards, s...

Actually, depending on the reason, I'd negotiate with you to get that back as much as possible. Hence, why smaller regional banks have been more than willing to work with their debtors, than, let's say Bank of America, Countrywide, Chase, etc. You'd help me only because, as a small lender, that $20...

I'm sorry you think distinctions aren't important. That explains a lot of this conversation. They've taught you well. but that's your own problem No, it's not my problem, because it's not something I beleive. That's something you threw into my mouth. Never did I make the claim "all distinction...

Foreclosure is often not the worst thing that can happen. It's why it's a security in the first place, sure, the bank would probably prefer you pay it. Of course the banks don't want the houses back, because they know that houses aren't an ATM machine like they temporarily were during the boom time...

Actually, it's not illegal. It's a breach of contract, which is entirely different. Contract a.

First, we blame homeowners because banks were engaged it patently illegal activities It's also illegal to sign and default on mortgages.

Since printing paper money is nothing short of counterfeiting, the issuer of the international currency must always be the country with the military might to guarantee control over the system.

Sorry Brent but your argument that "shit can get worse, people take it for granted" isn't very good and doesn't make it ok. Actually, it is. Life isn't easy and it never was---outside of about two times in world history--the 20's and 90's--both of which were followed by severe contraction...

"Be happy with your lot because it could be worse." No, it's more like Americans have become a spoiled and entitled lot that don't understand how good they had it, and still do have it. Look at how a kid grew up in the 1940's vs how a kid grew up in the 1990s'. It's night and day. So, he ...

My point is that certified professional accountants have no more or less of a guarantee of work ethic by the nature of their certification than any other employed person. I never said they did. He asked me what I did, and he implied that I never had a job and sat around collecting checks from daddy.

I was just making the point that not all CPA's are right wingers. Deal with it. I wouldn't really consider myself a right winger either.

only 501(c)3 organizations allow for deductible contributions, the orange bowl may be a 501c but its not a c3. For example when I was in college I was the treasurer for my fraternity, it was a 501c7.

Please don't judge all CPA's by this guy.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It says nothing about my character or how I conduct myself personally or professionally.

It is unfortunate this man lost his job.

I've never actually done fantasy football, but I'd imagine that if you're a person who watches all the games anyways, you might as well build your own team and prove to other people you know more than them.
