I understand Arraya’s gripe. I remember posting a complaint about a sudden surge in speed traps in my neighborhood shortly after the market hit bottom. It seemed as though all kinds of minor offenses which were not enforced, were suddenly being enforced with zeal. It seemed very obvious to me that it was a tactic to generate “revenue”, and it disproportionately affects lower income people.

December 19, 2009 at 10:52 PM #495679AnonymousGuestWhy do I get the feeling that Arraya bought an overpriced house with nothing down on an interest only loan? He’s now faced with a mortgage reset which means higher payments (which of course are all the fault of the banks – not him) and he got a speeding ticket (while driving his leased European luxury car) which he can’t pay (which is all the fault of rapacious government and an evil court system that’s trying to stick it to him).
“You can’t blame local government avarice on Washington or the bankers. All this greed is homegrown, local and entirely unnecessary.”
You’re right. This greed is homegrown and it’s entirely unnecessary. It’s the result of people buying stuff they couldn’t afford based on income they didn’t have. It’s stupidity is what it is!
Arraya – mail the keys to the house you planned to flip six months after you bought it back to the bank, rent a place you can actually afford and pay your traffic ticket before your license gets suspended. Oh….and downgrade from a leased S Class Mercedes to a Ford, okay? The guy at Fletcher Jones knew you really couldn’t afford the car from the get-go and your friends and neighbors did too.

December 19, 2009 at 11:01 PM #495685AnonymousGuestArraya and his ilk are among those who feel that laws apply to “the little people”, not to them. Those who can afford attorneys and those who have assets can’t be bothered with things like traffic laws and such. Since they have money, they can “write off” things and manipulate their finances so they lose money on paper while still living well.
It’s a grand life until they overextend themselves and reality smacks them upside the head. THEN life is suddenly unfair!!! It’s just UNFAIR they tell us!
Stop living above your means. Provide for your family and if you own a business, run it in a manner that allows the employees who make you money to pay their bills as well. After all, you couldn’t run that company by yourself, could you?
