There are 80 million US houses.
53 million have mortgages.
27 million are paid off.
48 million are paying in time.
5 million are behind (9,5% of 53 million with 2.8% in foreclosure)
In the 1930's 50% were seriously delinquent.

The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
