All those who have been burned by Pulte's shoddy houses and shabby customer treatment, who fail to SPEAK UP and SPEAK OUT, INSURE that Pulte will continue to burn them and others.
Maybe the NEXT person to get burned will be someone YOU know.
How does a company with a record of shoddy house construction and shabby consumer treatment operate with such impunity? Newspapers and the internet document Pulte Group's widespread shoddy construction, environmental violations, and consumer abuse. Pulte Mortgage has kept deposits on houses in which Pulte wrote the contracts and preliminarily approved the consumers for purchase. Government building inspectors have issued occupancy permits for houses with building code violations.
How does Pulte get away with it? Does the fact that Pulte gives politicians millions in campaign contributions have anything to do with it?
MANY so-called "independent" house sales agents, stockbrokers, etc. "push" Pulte houses and Pulte stock. Unsuspecting consumers are their victims.
BOYCOTT Pulte Group and their supporters. Speak out against inept government that fails to protect consumers. Don't vote for ANY politician who takes money from Pulte. . .
Pulte Group has a KNOWN record of shoddy construction and shabby customer treatment. Yet "independent" house sales agents and stockbrokers push Pulte Group.
It's bad enough that Pulte preys on consumers with their shoddy construction and shabby customer treatment, but for "independent" sales agents and stockbrokers to be pushing Pulte Group is UNCONSCIONABLE!
BOYCOTT PULTE GROUP AND THOSE WHO SHAMELESSLY PUSH PULTE HOUSES AND PULTE STOCK. . .
Investing in the stock market used to be about just that—investing in a good company with good prospects for the future. Today, it isn’t about investment—it’s about day trading, buys and quick sells to make a quick buck. Using yesteryear’s rules, no one would invest in Pulte Group. Why? http://peretired.blogspot.com/ . .
