"In a nutshell I think it had to do with bad assumptions on the market regulating itself, was fueled by greed of the financial institutions and Wall Street, and unrealistic expectations of people who felt that they should be able to buy a house whether or not they could afford it. "

This sentence shows how your own bias comes through in everything you say, do, think and believe. When refering to those on Wall Street you use the word 'greed', a negative conotation, and then when refering to the buyers it just their 'unreasonable expetations'. Please explain the difference between greed and unrealistic expectations.

"Taxes - I'm not sure where John McCain stands on taxes beyond extending the Bush tax credits. Obama wants to raise the taxes on those who earn over $250K a year. I no longer earn over $250K a year, so that doesn't bother me. I wish whoever gets in would close the tax loopholes for the wealthiest. If they could do that, they probably wouldn't need to increase taxes. I'm not a tax lawyer or even a CPA, so to say with any certainty that one will be better than another -- I don't see it. In fact, of all the issues, I trust candidates less on taxes than any other issue. "

One word, HYPOCRIT. It doesn't 'bother you' becuase you aren't affected, so by extension it would bother you if you were still working and had to pay it. Once again, you show that you are all about spreading 'other peoples' wealth, just not your own.
