Interesting thought Want2retire. I think it is equally fair for both the average Joe to lose his home, or the speculator/investor to loose his investment. Just because someone has less money it does not make them a victim, nor does having more money make you corrupt (immoral). In almost all cases there will always be someone "richer" than you, and someone "poorer" than you. If we start making arbitrary decisions about who is right and wrong bases upon who had more money at the time, then any of us can be victimized at any time.
