This isn't one of them. Sick or not, you have to pay certain bills.

Then why is it the taxpayers responsibility to bail the banks out?

It's not our fault they fell on hard times.

Completely different situation...

Will the Henrys losing their home cause millions of people to lose their middle class jobs?

:facepalm:

Nah, I'm still not going to support a banks decision to evict someone going through hard times after they themselves were bailed out with our money.

In fact, I encourage anyone who is losing their home to a bank to trash the place the best they can while they still own it so the bank has to spend money. Strip it for scrap metal, rip out carpeting, flood the basement. It's not much, but it's a small way you can fight back.

Yeah great idea. I'm sure all the neighbors will love it. Heaven forbid someone else just wishes to sell their house. Now that house whose value has dropped by 1/2 will have its appraised value drop by another half because you thought it was a cute idea to strip your own home.
While you're at it why not just set it on fire? Maybe the neighbors will be lucky and some hot embers will blow on their roof and set their house on fire too. That'll show those banks!

Well, maybe the banks shouldn't piss people off, Bank of America especially. When they failed to work with you and they have no organization even after being bailed out, people get angry.

And while doing so, set the banks and weed fields [[if Southgate has any) on fire. Then we have a perfect riot!

Ok, then we are in agreement after all...

However, I don't support helping the Henrys while we didn't help the other millions of people who lost their home.

The only way we can help everyone equally is by going to the top and cutting off hundreds of heads, and probably repossessing any assets or money they earned on the taxpayer's backs. That SHOULD have been done in the first place, instead of giving away a blank check.

But who benefits from kicking someone who had a stroke out onto the streets?

Agreed.

But again, there are thousands, if not millions of people who don't appear in the daily newspaper who have lost their assets due to circumstances beyond their control.

My point is, I think if we're going to help The Henrys out then we should also help out all of the other people who are or have been stuck in a similar situation. It's not fair to pick and choose who we should and shouldn't help, if they need help that is...
