It's un-American
It sticks in your craw, doesn't it? It goes against everything your mama taught you about there being no reward for bad behavior.
You remember that day a couple of years ago, when you were standing on your front lawn holding a beer, watching as the moving van pulled up down the street. You saw it unload all that stuff for the family that bought that house with the bigger pool than yours, the one YOU'd wanted but knew was just a tad beyond your means.
Now they're in trouble because they bought too much house, and instead of being thrown out into the street like they deserve, the feds are asking YOU to bail them out so they don't lose their home. And your only crime was to mind your p's and q's. You know what that is? That's SOCIALISM.
Then they come along and tell you that if you don't help everybody in you neighborhood stay in their homes, the value of your own property will go down the toilet along with theirs.
Hmmm....now that you put it that way...

My goodness, a man with a functioning brain. I thought the plague of liberalism had infected every literate person within the confines of the USA. Thank you for an honest appraisal of our current economic farce. Gimme, gimme ,gimme, but I aint gonna pay "cause I'm entitled".
