Or are you just spouting Olberman talking points?


I have nothing in the market. Pulled out many years ago when it became apparent to me it was a scam. There are better ways to save.

Please cite the example of this hypocrite calling for higher taxes when he had just made his first million. Yet another example of the ruling class trying to keep everyone else down.

When you have read...and digested...the other 12 articles I have posted, then you can do your own Google search of what Buffett may, or may not, have said after making his first million.

I don't have to go any farther than the Koch Brothers for examples of the rich, ruling class trying to keep everyone else down.

Too bad for you. Sounds like you pulled out when the market was near it's bottom. Over the past 2 years I have made greater than a 60% rate of return in the stock market.

Sure, I'm seeing something trickle down - higher prices on gas, food, a lot of things. I have yet to see jobs trickle down.

And I'm spouting verifiable facts - you can go to any gas station or grocery store for these.

I also see very few job listings of the kind not dedicated to phone sales or debt collections - the only boom in jobs lately.

The stock market, in my opinion, is one big Ponzi scheme. Us little folks put money into IRAs and 401Ks (because the corporations sucked up retirement plans) and then the big guys raid it all and we start over again. Some assert that a totally free market will adjust itself, but I don't buy it. A totally free market will simply serve the greedheads and make the rest of us slaves.


I got a new friend here!

Sure he does. He's been reading Jared Loughner's writings.
