I think it is a Great Idea!!
I think it is a Great Idea!! I am taxed to DEATH!! Why shouldn't they bear a fair share? Remember the REAL Boston Tea Party?? I am taxed without being represented in some closed door Evanston City office. And why do you think people are protesting on Wall Street? Our backs are taxed, and we are already on the ground!

"This is sheer genius."
In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify.
His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "Passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it."
Who can add anything to this?
