    so romney let people pay him money to buy a product from him?

    that's what passes for kindness among the board repugs i spose
    You people are so ing tedious sometimes.

    The result was a rare Romney flop: The housing market soon collapsed, and he was stuck renting out the houses for years before unloading them, mostly at a loss, in the late 1990s, according to property records. The renters were offered the first chance to buy, but the Stampses could not qualify for a mortgage, recalled Mr. Stamps, who at the time had recently lost his job at an oil company.
    He could have unloaded the house with the rest of his holdings and just let the Stampses fend for themselves, I suppose.

    Chump, I think the point was that although the people were clearly not credit worthy and couldn't qualify for a conventional loan that Romney gave them a chance to buy the house anyway instead of renting it.

    I tend to agree that they are making a little much of a simple business transaction.

    Well, to be fair, the Romney being painted by the Obama campaign would have kicked them out and, then, the wife would have died...6 years later.

    But he didn't unload it at a loss, like he would have if these renters would have passed! That's kindness.

    Nah.... luckily, Willard invented the current government healthcare plan, which would have allowed her to live, ONLY under a neocon Republican president, though....

    States rights.

    There are those of us who agree the states have the right to do this, but the federal government should not trample on the 10th amendment.

    He has a plan.
    So,

    Flat tax, he calls it a reduction in the marginal rates but that's what it its
    Corporate tax rate cuts
    Repeal Frank-Dodd
    reduce SEC oversight of corporate activity
    Gut the clean air act
    remove carbon reduction incentives
    Typical GOP 'tort reform'
    Push Pacific free trade agreement, create a "Reagan Trade Zone" which apparently means free trade agreements with 'democracies and free trade areas.' ie everyone but N Korea, Iran, and China. lets draw that line in the sand.
    Punitive trade measures toward China
    Nuclear power
    Increase oil production
    Build export pipelines
    Deregulate fracking
    Reduce renewable subsidies
    Gut labor CBA
    Cut labor training programs
    Cut spending except for defense
    Reduce NEA funding some more
    Eliminate labor standards on government contracts

    Isn't that what people like you and yoni say is responsible for the credit collapse of 2008? Poor people getting loans that they shouldn't?

    Owner financing as an act of kindness.

    Pretty funny.
    Yeah, that's pretty much what it is - a kindness. An owner has no obligation to finance a purchase to an unqualified buyer. You think Barry would have just given him the house?

    He didn't loan him any money. Apparently just allowed an installment plan to buy the house.
