Sacred debt. The whole world can go to hell to keep debt sacred. Funny,
it's only sacred for the little man. The rich don't feel obligated to pay
their debts. The really rich get the government to pay for them.
Bankrupt
cor****ations millions or billions in debt are liquidated and the
executives
and major stockholders softly land with their golden parachutes and then
start new cor****ations with new names.
Mortgage lending is a scam; a racket. The housing bubble was fueled with
funny money. Talk about speculators. Mortgage lenders are the biggest
speculators. They create money from no labor to loan on land that takes
no
labor to make in the first place. The entire financial sector knew
exactly
what it was doing. Everybody from Greenspan on down conspired to
deliberately create the housing bubble in order to fleece working people.
And now these parasites have the gall to get all moral about paying your
debts.
