Finance Pimp: "Welcome to ‘The Finance Pimp Wants His Homes Back Foreclosure Sales' cable-television showcase. Are you gainfully employed? Do you work three jobs? Did you win the lottery or have a large claim on an insurance settlement? Would you like to be part of the elite class of property-owning people? If you answered yes to these questions, come see me and sign on the dotted line. Remember: The home is still mine until it's paid in full.
"I have a couple of foreclosed homes back on the market, and I'm ready to sell them to anyone who can keep up with the mortgage payments.
"Check out this two-story home with five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, basement, fireplace and large driveway. The owners of this house were on their way to the top 1 percent of the elite class. Two words describe their fall to financial doom: Ponzi scheme. And since they couldn't keep up their mortgage payments, yours truly had to step in and take that home back, baby.
"This athlete had a $10 million football contract and bought this million-dollar, split-level home with an Olympic-size swimming pool. The football league he played for went under while he was a million dollars in debt. The rest is history.
"Do I have any empathy for the many people who have lost their homes? I reply: In this greed-ridden economy, they knew the job of home ownership was dangerous when they took it."

Stiggers has gone cold-hearted after moving to the big city. It's wrong to do the people this way, but like Capitalism says "you got to have a scheme in this land of milk and honey." Or was that Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five who said that. Anyway, another rapper suggested we fight the powers that be. You can't trust it. And 911 is a joke.

You're right, Walt. It was Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five. This column also reflects a bible verse from the book of Revelation that says, "The love of many shall wax cold." So, in this cold hearted society, we are forced to do what the rap group Public Enemy suggested.
