Latest: Top 10 Reasons to Oppose the Obama Housing Bailout

All we hear these days is whining from reckless home borrowers and their banks.

But did you know that renters are 32 percent of American households? And that homes in foreclosure are less than 2 percent?

So why is Congress rushing to bailout high-flying borrowers and their lenders with our tax dollars?

Unfortunately, renters aren't as good at politics as the small minority of homeowners (and their bankers) who are in trouble. We don't have lobbyists in Washington, DC. We don't get a tax deduction for our rent and we don't get sweetheart government loans.

Quite simply, we are just Angry Renters. And now it is our time to be heard: no government bailouts!

Douglas P.New York, NYJune 28, 2009 Helping home owners is bad policy.

Charles Y.San Francisco, CAJune 27, 2009 In a true capitalist system, those who make BAD investments, and make faulty decisions by default should be held accountable for their OWN mistakes due to their OWN lack of diligence and research. The government is too large, too much money is slipping through the cracks unaccounted for. Its time for the citizenship (forth branch of gov't) to become the foremost decision-maker for our president. He should NOT decide for us, but rather we decide for him and he implements our decision.
Aaron S.Deltona, FLJune 24, 2009 x
Sid C.Kingman, AZJune 14, 2009 There are no good solutions. The government has worked diligently for many years to try to keep the economy in a state of growth and thereby continuously labored to defer the inevitable contraction that business cycles must go through. The more distorted the economy became, the more ludicrous and outrageous (ingeneous?) the activity became to perpetuate growth and prosperity. Even now, the government is trying like crazy to stop the inevitable, generate growth and propserity or at least slow down the train wreck. Unfortunately, at this point, I don't think there are any more "solutions". I think Washington and our reps. intended for the best but apparently the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Flipper Bailout

Congress is getting ready to pass a multi-billion dollar bailout of homeowners and their banks.

That's right, Congress is going to use your tax dollars to bail out big banks and keep housing prices too high!

A Renter's Perspective

What the heck?!? Congress is passing welfare for Wall Street.

Wall Street Wants Welfare

It seems like America's renters may NEVER be able to afford a home. We are the class that has been ignored in this debate.  Washington should not make us pay more in taxes to subsidize reckless borrowers and lenders.

Now, however, our voice will be heard! We are trying to get as many signatures as possible on our petition to Congress. Please sign the petition and tell your friends to sign as well!
