  Tax Subsidizing the American Consumer

  by watson in

  it's interesting to me how much of our taxes go to subsidizing the great american consumer.

  (me included).. i detuct for mortgage interest on my first home, and if i buy a second home or anything that resembles a second home, i can deduct the interest on that as well.

  if i can afford a second home, recreational vehicle, etc., why would i be given a tax break?.

  This is misinformation.

  What a pathetic statement. The person that is misinformed is you. That makes you an idiot. Ever hear of a little something called "The National Homeownership Strategy: Partners in the American Dream"

  Or this "Community Redevelopment Act"

  Here a a very simple article that explains this for a very simple person like you.

  I know one thing, that deduction really helped the big housing boom, that's for sure. How's that going, anyway?

  You can blame Clinton and Bush for that. Allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry to buy a home they couldn't really afford in the first place with virtually no credit history. Giving them ARM notes, sub-prime lending.

  I can give you a personal experience. In my typical middle-class-working-stiff kind of a neighborhood, there was one family that bought a home similar to ours. Two story, 2800 sq. ft. home. As a matter of fact it was one of the model homes for the neighborhood.

  This family pretty much decided to move themselves out of the ghetto into this home. How they qualified for a loan is between them and the bank. When they first moved in they seemed very nice. Older man and wife, with a teen and 10 yr old daughters. They would at first maintain the home. Then after a year, his older son moved in. We would sometimes get home late (1 or 2am) from attending a dance or something, and you would see about 10-12 people just hanging outside drinking and smoking. Then came the late night cop visits. Then we found out, that both the father and son were registered sex offenders from NC. Son was arrested for not registerion here in Texas.

  Almost 4 years to the day the moved in they were forced to move out, because the house was forclosed on them for not making a payment in a year. We went to look at the house as it was open for auctioning. There was an old 90s cadillac all jacked up in the front with flat tires left in the driveway. The garage door was all banged up. The people ripped off the sinks from the bathroom. The wooded floors were scrathed up like crazy. There were holes in the sheetrock. The carpet had burn holes and dirt spots everywhere. There where broken windows. The back lawn was over grown and look like crap.

  Those people would have never qualified for a home if the lending practices were tightened up to weed out trashy people like that. But no. Clinton-Bush-Obama believe everyone is entitled to same things responsible, law-abiding, working-class, not looking for a govment hand-out kind of people.

  Just one experienced that played out thousands of time around the country. And dont get me started on the brokers, home builders, survey companies, title loan officers, and bankers that enabled them.

  I used to give talks like that at that same age. Being graded and coached since the age 4 made it easy. I also used to a have a very simplistic way of looking at the worlds problems. I also new what the answers where to those problems. I was a JW

  Then I grew up.

  Sorry...but I really detest that look. Don't care what color of skin is sporting that "look". I tell my daughter that's the easiest way to spot potential losers.

  Jehovahs Witness's consider this highly offensive, and you should consider the fact that it would inflame the global witnesss community. All 6 million of them.

  You wouldn't burn a Koran would you?
