The increased tax revenues of transaction fees from loans and house swaps filled the tax coffers and corporate profits became huge bonuses that "trickled down" in the campaign funds of the "elected" who "wrote" and legalized these false laws. Like any incestious relationship, a mutuant gets created which grows up and comes back to bite. It far exceeds any fiction even Rand could have written.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
