Tell the President to stop giving money to the banks. They are only helping them selves to the money. Give the money to "the people" who are paying all of these land taxes, income taxes, gas taxes, clothing tax, and then have no money left over to pay

I understand more than most the concern and agree with the basic idea that the system is unfair, every lender is corrupt by the universal power given to them by Congress starting in 1998 and that Congress and the president aren't doing anything to address the issue but neither is this petition.
This is a rant against an unfair situation offering nothing but a vocal piece that will be ignored as soon as it hits a desk.
Do we really want to use our voice just to blow off steam? Sure it is a release for the short term but will damage your voice in the long term, creating an attitude against any real message one tries to promote. Like the kid crying wolf, when it comes time for the REAL message to be heard, it will be ignored
One must learn to use what voice they have for the most effective and concise statements offering the issue, the history and proof, then a detailed plan for solution...This does none of that.
Ranting and railing will, ultimately, dilute any message we have
Taxes have nothing to do with foreclosure and, in fact, are only a tiny percentage of the cost to the individual but it is the easy target. Cutting all taxes will not save enough to offset mortgage rates and in the end will damage more than assist. What is done WITH those taxes is another matter.
If we REALLY want to create a position and offer something of substance then join together and come to agreement, research and get the back up proving without any doubt EXACTLY what the issue is, what created the issue and the best, most effective and easily understood plan for resolution....point by point by point
THEN take it to the people for support.

You understand more than most my cosmic friend?...Then ignore Cher's thread and provide all of us with the 'REAL' answer!...It is required NOW!...The research has been done.
