Why does the government hate poor people ???   "It" does not hate poor people; the people that have money want the government to help them take more money from you so they can be richer.  They insist you pay more, and more, in taxes so the government can grant special privileges to the businesses they operate. The ex-government official that manufactures body-scanners pushed for surveillance by TSA. War material manufacturers lobby for more war. Labor unions lobby to eliminate right-to-work states. Insurance companies lobby for forced enrollment in health programs.  It is not a matter of hate.  It is a matter of greed.

That's GREAT!

I'm not scared- I'm Excited.  My wife and I will finally be able to afford a home.  I hope the government doesnt stick it's big fat hand into the equation and try to stop this correction from taking place.  Why does our government hate poor people?  They take away our savings, our labor, and try to keep prices high.  I wish I could tell them to Tax the crap out of the corporations/ other government privileged entities/people and get their hand out of my pocket.
