  Rick Carver : Tanner

  [s] 

  Rick Carver : borrowed 30,000 to put an enclosed patio on their home that they had somehow lived without for 25 years;... why don't you ask the bank what the hell they were thinking in giving these people an adjustable rate mortgage and then you can go ask the government why they lifted every regulation and just sat there like a retarded stepchild? You, Tanner, banks, Nash, every other homeowner and investor from here to China turned my life into evictions! I'm not an aristocrat; I wasn't born into this: my daddy was a roofer, ok? I grew up on construction sites watching him bust his ass until he fell off a townhouse one day: A lifetime of insurance payments and they dumped him before he could buy a wheelchair! But only after they got him hooked on painkillers. Now dyu think I'm going to let that happen to me? You think that America 2010 gives a flying rat's ass about Carver
