Sorry but WTH?!! 134/197000 is 0.068%. And if this was not enough, I read this -
A 95-year-old church choir leader lost her family home to
a Maryland investor over a tax debt of $44.79 while she
was struggling with Alzheimer’s in a nursing home.
Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with people in the world.
- macspoofing 13y agoI think so too. Forget the laws, if you're a "investor" who bought a tax lean for $50, and that lean led you to own the deed to a $100,000-$200,000 house of Alzheimer's patient, don't you stop for a second and consider the moral and ethical implications of collecting on that lean?
- denzil_correa 13y agoEthics? I would want to know how is that even an apropos penalty given the defaulter's age and mental health. This is literally bordering on the insanity!
- rglover 13y agoSad, right? If I had to guess, people are getting increasingly desperate. The things that used to help them get by don't work anymore (or don't meet the full capacity), and in exchange for money, they're willing to destroy the lives of others. Scary fucking world.

- enraged_camel 13y agoNot sure why you are downvoted, when you are pretty much correct. In the Western world, America seems to be rather unique when it comes to the economically strong preying on the weak.
