America has one of the best justice system and healthcare systems for the rich.

49% of congress is millionares, when was the last time they were on foodstamps or trying to make ends meet with a new baby and a 10k hospital bill.

Income inequality is the worst its been since the 20′s and the middle class is on its last few gasps. Our nation is moving financially to look like Mexico.

The average person still buys the american dream that if you work hard and smart you can make it. I personally feel thats dead.

What offends me the most about our current situation is the inequalities in the way big money special interests get priority over the people.

At current levels of job growth it will be 14 years before employment levels are back ilup to where they were before the crash.

I personally lost my house due to being unemployed for 10 months.

Ok, if you’re not apathetic, you can probably list a few works of activism you’ve performed lately. You know, in response to your government torturing people in your name, killing hundreds of thousands of people in a sham war, that sort of thing.

I wouldn’t shed a tear if fuckers like these end up swinging from the end of a rope. Lord knows they deserve it for failing the people and failing up uphold the laws they swore to protect.

Justice isn’t some quaint legal concept. We demand it, and we will get it, even if we have to do it ourselves.

And yet you guys (At least the Americans we see on tv) are at each others throats, Democrat vs Republican, Christian vs Atheist, Rural vs Urban.

That’s gotta make these guys laugh pretty hard even if they didn’t cause it themselves.

“Take justice into our own hands.” Ha.

“it is better that ten innocent men suffer than one guilty man escape;

Our economy is a crooked casino that counterfeits its’ own money. . .

The super-rich get richer on the backs of the workers: credulous pawns muddling through a financial and legal system so Byzantine that this type of nefarious theft is allowed, If not tacitly approved.

Our capitalist system is (was?) the envy of the world. . .but there are cracks.

I hope to not be around and behold the Reckoning. A hard rain will fall that day. . .

Those same financial institutions were actively and aggressively selling refinance loans to people who WERE responsible home owners with balloon interest rates and terms that were calculated to make them insolvent.

Those same financial institutions have used these broken courts to foreclose on thousands of homes where they had *never* been in arrears.

This is the problem with naked, darwinian capitalism. The banks have no moral authority, and people ( reasonably ) expect them to behave unethically. The banks’ willingness to abandon responsible, ethical business in exchange for legalistic amorality means that the people they serve can play these games without guilt.

When you have to deal with the devil, you don’t have to play fair.

In that time we learned that the leasing company had actually changed hands and she was being taken to court by the new owners. Their false claims were laughable. They claimed that she had not only failed to pay the last 6 months of her rent (after she paid to get out of the lease and had already moved out of state ) but that she had lived there an additional 6 months past her lease end date and had refused to leave the apartment. They claimed that they had served her a legal summons notifying her of the lawsuit in person in a city that she did not live in years before she had been actually served. Stating they flew to the city in person, tracked her down at an address she did not live at and a phone number that was not hers and handed her the paperwork themselves.

They also temporarily claimed that their employee that signed all of her paperwork had never work for them. The judge assigned to her case would not read the motions that her lawyer filed. The judge regularly answered motions with completely irrelevant information completely not related to the motions her lawyer filed. We also found out the leasing company had already filed 2,000 other lawsuits in the first few months of that year using the same lawyer with the same claims of owed back rent.

She eventually “won” because the lawyer dropped the case because it was either that or admit that his law office and the leasing agency had committed fraud and perjury.

In other words, no one is safe from the legal shenanigans and that was not even in Florida.

If some bank lied, cheated, and ‘legally’ stole my house out from under me, I don’t think that I’d be able to restrain myself from doing something stupid but satisfying. What’s the alternative? Try and go through the rigged and broken ‘legal channels’?

I would give my life for true justice and equality, even for apologetic boot-lickers such as yourself.

When is the rest of the corporate media going to expose all this shite!?

And um, yeah, when is the revolution going to arrive?

For those that may have heard about “[the] great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity” but have not read the article, I implore you to read it:

This is a complicated issue. Taibbi does a really excellent job of explaining the mortgage crisis (one of the better efforts I’ve seen, actually), but can you imagine this explained in a <15 minute segment on a cable news channel? How about the legal aspects of international law as it relates to the Bush administration’s torture policies? Or any of the other innumerable ways in which the world is miserably fucked up, with America hemorrhaging as its leaders bitch about earmarks?

No. The closest thing we get to a revolution is a big, ineffective backlash against the TSA because people don’t like strangers touching their junk. Not that enhanced pat-downs and all the rest of it isn’t bad, but getting my dick rubbed at the airport is a pretty small inconvenience compared to the disgusting injustices constantly being perpetuated by my government.

Ugh.

There are three question that the courts are trying to determine.
1.) Did the borrower borrow money from the lender?
2.) Was the house promised as security if the agreed upon payments were not made?
3.) Has the borrower been making the payments agreed to?

Usually the difficulty is in proving that the entity suing for foreclosure is indeed the lender in (1) and that they have propper paperwork proving (2). Sadly, (3) is rarely in dispute. These loans are not going to be repaid. If there is a victim here, it is those who bought the AAA rated bonds made from these mortgages based on the assurances of the bond rating agencies.
