How would he be a "victim" of anything? You are a victim if something bad happens to you without your participation in the cause. Yes, Mr. McMahon's income was not as high as he speculated it would be. Perhaps a more modest house and some thrift could have gotten him by. There's a house across the street from my parents home that was abandoned because the residents were afraid of foreclosure. Problem with that for me is that they had a motor home, a boat and 4 cars, and yet none of the residents ever seemed to go to work. I tell you that not one of them kept a regular schedule, walked out with lunch in hand, or wore a work "uniform" of any kind. A lot of this "housing slump" is the bills coming due for people who have borrowed too much that they can't pay back. That's a matter of personal responsiblility. I understand that Mr. McMahon was ill, and that it cut into his earnings, I can see possibly calling him a victim of his illness, however, my grandfather had both knees replaced before he retired, and I can guaran-damn-tee you that the bank never got a payment from him late.
