Here in Chicago, I have a female friend who gets food stamps because she has a low income, but she owns a freaking house free and clear of mortgage. Torontotrader you are an idiot!!!!
Fear not. The US will save you, Humpy. History has taught us that it is inevitable that the US will have to save the all of Europe for a 3rd time. That should get the US back on track to self-discipline.
Hey Canadian asshole! She owns the car too, imagine that. And lastly she spends way more money in the bars than I do. So worry about your frozen-ass country first!!!
Is giving your income to the politicians, the solution? Why not help them, help themselves, you can`t provide for them forever.
We are all starving.. for something.. Looks, from the replies that I have read, most of YOU are starving from a lack of GOD! There is very little compassion or Love in your responses. Sure, there are some people that abuse the system. These are the same people that trade on inside info, steal money to open a brokerage account and don't pay back loans to people who helped you get your great trading career going in the first place. If anything, we should be teaching the principles Ronald Reagan stood for.. self sufficiency, hard work, saving and investing while government should cut fees/regulation/red tape +taxes to foster risk taking by all Americans. We should shut down all these liberal public schools +colleges, which teach NOTHING to our youth +disseminate propaganda (brain wash) from failed economic regimes/systems. MAYBE then people would have a reason to WORK for something other than the G-Man!!! Last, we need to make all government positions limited to a single term of service +cut their pay.. NO MORE CAREER POLITICIANS! Mh
Excellent commentary.. in many ways, this is what we need to move back toward if we are to have any chance for a revival of the American Dream (of opportunity for all people here in the US). Try to start a hedge fund -the regulations are stifling. What? Only the rich want to earn an income? Why can't someone who is poor start up a fund? The rich do not have a chokehold on intelligence. If you do.. unless you always make money for your clients, be prepared for some serious problems from the authorities. Mh
Uhh, when $12 billion of taxpayers' money is spent on an engineered war every month, including on weapons production quotas (c'mon, would L-martin, Boeing, L3, Halliburton et al ever starve?), how can you say we do not have communism? the party elite get fat from this monthly $12 billion quota, while the people starve and line up for bread and rations. Only a tiny percent of people "OWN" a house; rather they work 40-60 hours a week just to pay the bank usary fees for 10-30 years. The BANK owns your house.
America morphs more and more towards the communist economic model each day. At a minimum, we already have economic facism. The Gummint makes the rules. "It's all about the Gummint".. and their best pals.
