This was sent to me by a very dear friend who is a local resident and business man. I think he is right on. What do you think?
Valerie and I are part of the 92% of Americans that are still paying our mortgage. We bought a home, not a house. We did not and do not intend to sell our home to make a pile of money. Our home is our only dwelling and is not a source of income. Our home is modest and we bought something we felt we could afford. We are both in construction related businesses which means we are not in that lucky group that is on a fixed income. The fixed income complaint has become a real joke to us. If only our income was fixed. Anyway, we have given up a lot of things we took for granted. We can no longer pay our $1200.00 a month we were paying for health insurance. We have given up all hope of vacations. We have cut out Christmas and birthday gifts. The movies and dinner out has become a DVD at home and eat in. We have enjoyed the company of friends and family visiting us at the beach but we can no longer offer the hospitality because we are barely paying our mortgage, home insurance, taxes and utilities.
But we are sacrificing to get by. We are resigned to the fact that we will be working until we are 75. That's OK. And we are ready to give up what is necessary to keep our home. And we both do what we can to help our friends and neighbors. I make as many free gratis calls to single dwelling homeowners now as I do paying service calls to rental properties.
We pay our taxes, obey the law, vote and all the other good stuff that citizens are expected to do. But where does the Constitution say that I am suppose to pay the mortgage of the 8% of Americans that have over extended themselves or bought mortgages with balloon payments or thought they would pay interest only loans and sell their house for a big profit in a couple of years.
I also can't find the Amendment that requires me to furnish housing, money, health care and education to people that are not citizens, no they are felons, that have entered our country illegally to steal our jobs and money.
I'm sorry but I was not born in a Socialist State but I am now living in one. Those of us playing by the rules are forced to pay for the ones that are freeloading on our government. That is Socialism at it's finest.
When our Rock Star President gets through we will all be working for the only employer available which will be the government. All banks will be nationalized along with the industry and the majority will become only minions for the state. All people of the world will be welcomed with open arms no matter of past history, criminal or terrorist, so we can further lower the bar and even everything out. Only an elite few will own firearms and our free elections will have only one candidate.
All I can say, probably too late, is WAKE UP AMERICA.
If you don't own a home, don't work every day to pay the bills or if you have a check coming from the government that you did not work 30 years to qualify for then you will say this is all bull and will research all of the Internet to refute what I have stated and lay the blame on George Bush, but for the rest of us, Good Luck.

Now that is my new siggy--how true, and it involves my good friends that make over $250,000 a year too!
