    In theory you're supposed to own stock in those financial companies and so make money when they make money.

    First rule of financial security, 10%. They need to take 10% of their income, regardless of how low it is, and save it. Eventually, they could start buying stocks and raise themselves up. It takes hard work. That's what made this country great.

  4. In theory, which used to be fact, the money did actually trickle back down into the larger population. That stopped happening and our economy will crumble as a result. Capitalism doesn't work without the capitalists at the upper end re-investing their money in something other than making more money. You actually have to build some shit and employ people for this to work.

  5. Once again you're proving yourself to be the less intelligent one. The practice of buying tax liens has been going on for longer than Obama has been president. Go learn something dick breath.

    The money never did trickle down, it was pulled down by organized labor, who formerly had the clout to ensure productivity increases were shared among all who had a hand in improving productivity.

    You're right that people need to be employed, under the current rule set. Or they need to own a piece of the machines that are "building" stuff.

    You already have all the information you need to transform yourself from a "soon to have" to a "have". ; )

    I'm sure you see that I was inspired by the Romney campaign's message of "optimism and change" (hope and change was taken).
