When Bush was President I owned companies, had up to 75 employees, AVERAGE take home around 385k a year, and owned @ least three homes. Now...

You were and will always be an idiot.

"cant wait for the debase"

I agree in fact in my Original post I said

"Don't give me the it is all Bush's fault, because I don't buy that! Nor do I think that it is all Obama's fault!

I believe the main reason (there are many others) for the mess we are in is due to the laws that came into effect in the late 90's early 2000's that forced banks to loan money to people with no jobs, or mortgage a house that they could not afford."

I know all about the Clinton policies, and those before him! Ron Paul, I love that man, but I am not sure that I can waste my vote. I cannot help Obama stay in office by not voting for Romney. He is better then many of the Repub. choices we could have gotten. Besides, I think Paul Ryan rocks! I wish Romney would announce his cabinet and include Ron Paul as Fed Chief!

When Bush was President I owned two companies (one with my husband), his had up to 75 employees and mine up to 4.
We owned @ least three homes from the years 2000 to 2009 (rental, personal and @ least one spec at all times).
We had a average credit score of 835, mine was higher than my husband's :0)

AND NOW...

Closed one company and bankrupted another in 2010 (we were treading water from 2007-2010). One was building second homes, another was a restaurant.

Short sold (feel good word for forclose) 2 houses, and had a third forclose on us.

My husband and I are both in school full time about to finish up degrees that we never finished when we were younger. We also both work full time for under $10 an hour. We get food stamps and medicaid for our boys, Federal Pell grants for school, and subsidized student loans as well.

By Dec. of 2013 we will both be graduated and hope to make at that time around $60k (gross) a year (if we can both get full time work).

It still seems like yesterday that life was simpler and less stressed, when I could go to the store and not have to check my bank account every time before leaving. I miss that life!!!!

I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHO I AM VOTING FOR???!!!???

Can't wait for the debate!!!

Rich people do rich people things, and poor people do poor people things. OP is an example of a rich person doing "poor people things." The same thing happens when some ghetto trash wins the lottery. A few years later they are right back in the ghetto because they don't have the correct mindset to manage money.
