Getting Snarky With a Twit--In My View

Dave NYC,

What don't you understand about the word predatory?

These lenders were unethical and dishonest and there are solutions that take that into consideration. Usury is an immoral crime and there is evidence that banks targeted vulnerable citizens. Why should the predators get off scott free? There are solutions that would require some equity and shared responsibility. Perhaps there could be a type of solution that could keep people in their homes paying "rent" until their loans can be renegotiated at a fair rate. It should be a priority to keep people who have been victimized by predatory lenders, in their homes.

Your attitude is classic blaming the victim. Predatory lending exists, and people have been taken advantage of by unethical immoral individuals.

Dave, do you rail about bailing out the mortgage companies, the savings and loan bail out, or corporate welfare? How about our jobs going overseas? Is that all the fault of hard working Americans as well?

I do believe there are compassionate solutions that could at the very least acknowledge that some of the responsibility belongs to those individuals preying upon the uneducated and elderly in many cases.

And Dave, how many people on this blog have you dismissed or put down in one way or another, beginning with Jeanna Brown? Uhhhhhh, just every one who disagrees with you.
