Here is capitalism for you: http://banoosh.com/blog/2014/05/02/this ... over-6-30/
Social well being and compassion for those in bad straights is viewed as far less important than giving banks money, or foreclosing on people and destroying their lives.
But given half the chance, many legislators would have America turned into a fascist state, where corporations can do whatever they like and crush all competition. Fascism of the Mussolini definition, already exists in areas like Agriculture, with the FDA basically eating out of Monsanto's hand while crushing small farmers.
What a prick of a judge, and a bank. This is how bad the fusion of government and capitalism has become in America.A Pennsylvania judge has ruled against a widow whose home was sold at a tax auction in 2011 after she failed to pay $6.30 in unpaid interest.
Eileen Battisti’s home was sold in September 2011 over the unpaid interest, despite Battisti’s claims that she paid everything that she thought she had to pay.
“I paid everything, and didn’t know about the $6.30,” said Battisti. “For the house to be sold just because of $6.30 is crazy.”Beaver County Judge Gus Kwidis handed down his ruling last week, maintaining his belief that Battisti had been given ample notice to pay the money, which in full was $235 including other fees and accrued interest.
