Most homeowners have debt. So do lots of folks that own cars. And credit cards. And poor people unfortunate enough to wind up in the hospital with sub-par health insurance. And 18 year old college students with bad judgement about credit cards.

Are all of these folks more susceptible to bribes and blackmail? This is a sizeable portion of the population.

Does bad credit of someone that just declared bankruptcy make someone more susceptible?

Couldn't a company just lessen this by paying well so that folks can get out of debt?

Yes? I expect I’m more susceptible to bribes and blackmail than I would be if I were independently wealthy and mortgage-free.

Not that I want to be discriminated against on those grounds.
