This isn’t meant to twist the knife. But maybe the lesson here is that some people have invested too heavily in all this “Pay your bills on time or you’re a bad person” stuff.
Back when Bush signed off on the Bankruptcy Reform Bill, in 2001, I switched to the democrats after 30 years of being a republican. I did a post here and I got of bunch of these type replies. That only deadbeats and crooks wouldn’t pay their credit card bill, etc. Of course, I replied that middle class families were being preyed on, and ought to be able to take chapter 7, period. That went over like a ton of bricks.
Now, today, we look at the people who made bad and stupid loans and realize they really are predators. At least more of us do now, than did then.
Maybe what really has you mad, it that what you have been taking as a fair system, isn’t. In that case, the anger should be aimed at the bankers, not the people who were able to beat them at their own game, or at least, lose less.

No surprise that you’re a looter.
My Dad taught me that stealing is wrong, that I should keep my word and pay my debts. It’s worked well for me so far, and I think I’ll just keep doing it.
Well, that applies not only to banking, but also to employment, the judicial system, and voting.
