I'm going to agree with you on a couple of things, Mitt Romney lost the election because he told the people in Michigan that the auto makers that were in trouble should have gone bankrupt instead of a bailout, he was right but those people didn't want to hear what was the right thing to do,
A real estate broker friend of mine was padding home applications so that people could qualify, he got caught and did 7 years in prison, in around 2005 the banks did the very same thing, plus they sold bogus mortgages overseas, they got caught but instead of going to jail they were awarded with over a trillion dollars by Bush and Obama, but instead of helping the people, the banks tightened the screws on mortgages, people could not get a mortgage, instead much of the money went to raises and vacations for those crooks, then the housing market collapsed, many real estate brokers and home builders folded, I'm a builder, I lost over a million dollars, I know how that crap works, I saw it coming but never thought it would get that bad, nobody is more pissed at the government than I am,
My eyes are on the termites and the robbers, I am a very disgruntled person for what the Gov. did to me and others, and I pity someone trying to rob me.

That's all I'm saying... keep an eye on both. I only get frustrated when people look down on the poor, as if their lives aren't miserable enough.
When a child is born, to a single mother in a poor neighborhood, of course the child will be tempted to commit crimes with no guidance while the mother is away at work. We should be reaching out to these people instead of sticking them in prisons, especially when they are non violent crimes. The more amazing thing to me, is that the Republicans want to force the poor to have children, yet pay nothing to care for them. I respect other's religious beliefs... but it's unconscionable to tell a young mother to have a kid... and then tell her she's lazy for raising the kid on welfare. Seems like you should vote to care for children if you want people to give birth to them.
Anyway, I'm sorry that you got screwed, but thanks for listening to my side. Hopefully both sides learn from each other.
