We hear so much (and it seems even more so nowdays) about how this country is moving ever so quickly towards socialism. It's been coming for a long time now and as we near the gates it begins to stink with fear.
Latest from the prez ~ take advantage of the "new" tax credits. ugh. my timing is off. it always has been. i used all my money to dump the debt it took me 30+ years to get into ~ all while working!
i know some that bought their first house as "HUD Repos", others, that bought "Bank Repos" all of which are translated today to the polictically-correct, "foreclosures". i never had money at the time when the market was bad enough for others for me to profit from their losses. the majority of those people i know that bought these homes were able to captapult themselves into good solid home-ownership and made good for themselves in other areas. they worked to keep what they gained.
over the years, others bought their homes 'when the time was right'. money was good, perhaps boosted by an inheritance or gifts from others. but they continued to work to keep what they have gained.
and others have taken advantage of government subsidies that are meant to boost today's economy. it is up to them to continue to work to make good of what the gov. helped them with.
the thing here is most of the working class society works to support their habits; their families, their play. very few are able to plop down a lump of money to acquire their home on their own.
be careful when you cry "well so and so got their house from from gov. incentives, or repossessions, or ......" when it comes to homes, getting that "first start" more often than not, comes with help from others, not "off the backs of the slave".

Any government subsidy, incentive, tax credit, or what ever name you tag it, comes off MY back, since I am one of the 47% that pay all the federal taxes. And that, my dear sista, is socialism. And, that stinks if you are in the 47 percent, but it's great for the others that can get something for free.
