buying debt is a sin. Asset management business is a butchers business. Those who can't pay back their house is taken over then if still debt is not cleared the T.V. set the stove the fridge is taken finally car and bicycle. The law only allows children to retain their bicycles. Even linnen is also taken away. It is all inhuman. Jesus is looking at us from the sky. Capitalism is mercyless. Inited its own death. ----krashar
