That’s not news really, but writing that check made it seem all the more frustrating, evil and downright unfair. That check made me feel like a victim in this robbery on a personal level.

Good. I’m glad you had to whip out your checkbook and see what it is like to write a check to the government. I’ve been writing five figure checks to the government for the past few years on tax day after sending in large checks every quarter.

I’ve long surmised that if more people had to actually site down and write a check to the government instead of having the taxes simply removed from their paychecks they’d finally realize just how much they paid in taxes and the outrage would be more palpable. You’ve proved my point.[/quote]

Great point! In better days I’ve had to write big checks to the IRS too. And yes, I hated it. But it was different then because even though I knew I was supporting so many non-working Americans and other things I’d rather have more control over; at least helping others is something you can feel good about on some level.

Now, with the in-your-face realization that banker scum and the elite who can never get enough, are taking our money and lining their already bloated pockets, is maddening.

The yahoos who caused this mess are directing our tax dollars into their pockets, out in the open. America says NO to the bailouts 300:1 and Obama and the senate and congress do it anyway. Then we find out the money got spilt up by the bankers who are now not only NOT in dire striats, they are reporting profits! You can’t make this stuff up and if you came out of a cave and read about this shit you’d probably think you were reading about some third world country.

The only visualization I get of my IRS check this year is Jamie Dimon and the like living large on my money while people in my realm of reality lose pensions, 401ks, houses and jobs.

So how many of you out there are just really really confused at this point,

Now from what I understand home prices increased last month, but at the same time defaults at record levels, foreclosures at record levels !!!

But then people complain of lack of inventory, bidding wars etc…
Banks and Tech beating earning etc…

So WTF is going on !!!

OK I need to take a pill or go to the beach or something.

What’s going on is that now, we are seeing a false rally in prices/sales, but many of NODs will become foreclosures within a year….and then sh*t will hit the fan.
