Bailouts and a 'gun called greed'
Letter to the Editor
By Inman News, Friday, May 22, 2009.Re: 'Losing the home-equity gamble' (May 22)
Dear Editor:
I want to thank you for your honesty in this particular article. Too many Americans, bloated on wealth and dissatisfied with being among the world's most comfortable population, have shot themselves in the foot with a gun called greed. Now they want pity, government bailouts, and free-of-charge help to get out of the holes they dug.
I believe this economic crisis is a good lesson to many on what is enough, and how to count your blessings and be thankful (for what you have).

You are 100% correct. Being in the real estate business, we often wondered how a person who put in so lillte time and effort could feel so entitled. Now when reality hits, they all wine.We had all better get back to work both in time and in practical study, to make our way in this market and job environment.
Have a great year!
