The financial lobby fought for the deregulation that allowed those loans to be made. The financial industry looked the other way when making those loans because the CMO business was so profitable. Get it, dickus pendejo?

I don't get your logic....and what is the primary reason for banks losing money....stupid people that borrowed money that they could not pay back, went broke and are now on food stamps. So what's the larger core issue, stupid people or evil banks? I say stupid people![/quote][/quote]

I knew you would say that. Sure the bank sold the bullets, they are in the game of making money you know. But they did not take the shots. I had access to the stupid credit just like everyone else, but did not indulge. Why? Because I am not stupid and now have no debit, a 800++ credit score and very good savings. What will my reward be? The real possibility of my savings being worth a lot less. Why, stupid people! So, excuse my bitterness.

he's also a moron because, in the 50s, one could deduct everything under the sun so nobody actually paid those high tax rates.

It's really a question of priorities. My parents priority was to provide food and shelter for us kids. Now it's to provide the latest fashions, cell phones, and video games for their children. Let someone else pick up the tab on needs and spend all their money on wants. There is also a large amount of people who believe if someone else is going to pay for it why would I?

Nice to know we spend 1/3 the budget on Israel. Cutting that will almost balance the budget. You should run for office since it will be trivial for you to balance the budget......

Or just stop support of Nazi Israel. That would save taxpayers $1 Trillon per year.

US Genocide in the Middle east is $800 Billion, plus $100B in foreign and military aid to Israel, and and other $100 in veterans, covert, etc. expenses. So $1T/year is a good estimate for the taxpayers burden to maintain the US colony of Facist Israel.

What are some of the things an indiviidual preparing his tax return in the 1950s could deduct that he no longer can?
