Why wouldn't you get a solicitor to check he property details etc before handing over a deposit.

A rather expensive lesson!!
Never trust anyone who offers to spend your money for you. If they were any good at they would have more than enough money of their own to spend and if they were such fantastic fellows then they would be buying you things with their own money.
People get addicted to money the same way people get addicted to anything else (and I mean that 100%. If I understand anything it is addiction and I can see it etched on the face of almost every economist and capitalist I see) and for an addict no amount of money is enough.
We are like cats. Put a plateful of food in front of a cat and they will just keep eating until they die. We just don't have a thing in our heads that says "enough"
I think you misunderstand economists definitely, and possibly capitalists. But, what really annoys me is your ripping on cats.
If anything, cats can be trusted - and I'm no cat lover. It's the puppy with free reign over the dry food that I'm most concerned about - and I love puppies.
