How does this make me scum of society?

I almost got a contempt of court charge when I literally laughed out loud at a bankruptcy judge reading the riot act to a couple in a preceding during the Enron Scandal. Young couple bankrupting a couple thousand in med bills yet Enron bankrupted BILLIONS. Gimme a freakin break on how a few thousand is so dangerous to society.

So somehow your $70 med bill in collections is worse than Sears bankrupting, shutting stores, laying off workers....people are screwed in the head with their superior morality thinking.

Besides, without little $70 collection items the whole collection industry that employs thousands of people would cease to exist. You're simply providing a business opportunity and gainful employment.
