I figure the government is kind enough to let this scum bag not pay his bills to me, they could at least give me a tax break. I find it funny how people think bankruptcy is a victimless crime, and hurts big bad businesses. Bankruptcy helps idiot losers who can't act like adults and hurts hard working people. -
