Could it be GREED?????

Could it be GREED??????

My buyer yesterday just kept saying, "it's sooooo sad, sooooo sad" as we went from one short sale home to another.  

"It's such a shame to see so many people losing their homes like this.  Wouldn't you think the banks would show some empathy towards them, let them live in their homes until they can rectify or reverse the situation they're in????  Why aren't the banks doing more for them?????", she continued.

Could it be GREED??????  I have questions as to why the government came to the rescue of so many of these big banks, time and time again when there has been no relief for us little people.  How come we don't get any relief????  My husband said they could have given every one us a substantial amount of money instead of bailing the banks, the auto industry, and the financial conglomerates. WE would have been more than grateful and appreciative.  WE could have used it to save our homes, keep ourselves out of foreclosure, and WE would have been able to get by until we found another job.  Why weren't there opportunities for us????  Why wasn't there any employment options made for us through the government????  Oh well, I guess WE don't matter.  But aren't we supposed to be "of the people, for the people, and by the people"????  What happened to that????  

Could it be GREED????????  Why do banks, financial institutions, and the auto industry get the preferential treatment when we consumers are in need????

Why did the government help the auto industry and those financial institutions instead of us? How could those financial institutions have the gall to turn around afterwards and dish out bonuses and take lucrative vacations on what they got????  Would you call that greed?  I think so but I'm sure that there's better terminology for all of this.  Any one care to provide their input???

I don't normally write like this but my buyer of yesterday got me thinking about what she was asking me and I came up with this.  I don't mean to offend anyone out there.  This was just a general post and nothing more.  :)

great points here. Was it greed. I think the banks thought they were on a gravy train and it would never end...when it did end they looked to make up the money any way they could. Greed indeed.

If anyone in the government listens to you and starts sending out checks to us little guys, please make sure to forward my address.  Thanks.

Christopher, you bet I'll let you know if I EVER get any monies from the government as one of the many "little people".

Jeffrey - Thanks dear sir for the kind words.  I'm glad to know that there are more out there that share how I feel.

karen - I love this country too, but the mechanics of what goes on is killing the middle class. It's almost like no one at the top reads history. I'm sure the British Empire never thought they would stop being on top either.

The Government and the Banks are the Mortal Enemy of the American People (and everybody else).   They are not our Representatives, they are not our Friends, they do not have our Best Interests at Heart.

The sooner the American People realize this, the better.

Bill, I'm glad you took time to voice your opinion.  It's much appreciated.  We've all got to stick together as a united group, if it ever gets to that.  :)

Fred, I think the people are finally waking up and realizing the serious nature of our world.  I'm only hoping that everyone will come together when and if it's needed and stand as united.  :)
