[quote=CA renter][quote=Russell]
Where TAX PAYER MONEY is concerned, I think the fb’s and overspending renters should find cheaper shelter,then if they still need help because of a real threat of homelessness, then a saftey net should be there… In the case of renters the system mostly works as it is… if you can’t afford it move . I don’t see where two wrongs would make a right. You would hope that the rediculous use of the nation’s capacity for charity would stop somewhere?[/quote]
Then we’re in agreement. Certainly if renters or “owners” can’t afford a place, they need to move. We should not subsidize any group, IMHO, with the same exceptions (basic needs) you’ve mentioned above. It just that some people seem to believe one group (“owners”) should receive preferential treatment, and that’s what I disagree with.[/quote]
The guy next door that lost his home is pissed he lost his home, you are angry because you didn’t think he could afford it and the guy next to you is sort of laughing because he was always renting for half the price. All 3 neighbors now face the same problems: high unemployment, higher taxes, manipulated home prices and the inevitable threat of inflation (regardless of any of their personal financial problems). I’m not sure what my argument is here, but I think I am trying to explain the fact that there really isn’t much we can do about this anymore and that everyone is sort of extra screwed any way you slice it.
America is working on a new system called Universal Life Care. This includes food, housing, health care and Playstation 3’s. Why should anyone have to pay for this?
As much as I hate the system, I can’t complain. I rent on the beach for cheap, I live in a safe community and the weather is 70 degrees 7-8 months out of the year. There is no where else I’d rather be, so I will deal with the current problems as long as America continues to allow me to make money!
Hey guys I am on the same page, but it’s beyond our control! I say from now on only positive posts. I’ve been finding a lot of those these days on my son’s favorite TV show Yo Gabba Gabba!
