Last night Dateline had a story on the Mortgage Fiasco ... they profiled 3 people who received mortgages and defaulted on them ... 2 were severely unqualified and 1 maybe so.
When asked, "How much responsibility do you take" all 3 unanimously took very little responsibility, if not, NONE. One woman (Delores) took ZERO responsibility and called herself a victim. (She got $1.3 million in mortgages essentially being broke). One woman was a retired principal and failed to read any of her documents. The other woman had her lender fraudulently change her income from $1500 month to $7800.
All 3 claim victim hood (the latter I can see, but the other 2?)
Excerpt:

The first step in having a wealthy mindset is to take responsibility for your actions (and lack of actions "I didn't read the documents"). If you watch the video and listen to this woman's language, everyone else is to blame -- she's a victim (her words) and its as if mortgage lenders put her into mortgages at gunpoint.
While the realm of greed traces to all parties, you still have a choice. If a junkie is on the sidewalk giving away free Heroin, you still have the choice to say NO. Most people did not.
