I solved this riddle when I was in the 6th grade.

Further, a lot of times the government gives tax breaks to encourage certain behavior, such as making your house more energy efficient. The feds want people to take advantage of these benefits.

Sucks to be the losers that already bailed - nothing for them. Maybe we should all stop paying our mortgage and let Uncle Sam bail us all out.

Anything... A pretty looking Bank CEO comes to a young President's (oval) office. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly."I would do anything to save my bank," she says. She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, and gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean,"...

The feds are just getting ready to spring the wealth tax. First step is getting a record of all the wealth. Next step, block off any escapes. Then start floating the idea that it only applies to really rich folks who haven't paid "their fair share". And bingo, a whole new tax scheme to...

You forgot the other half. Or quarters, maybe. Or something, anyway. One half is for bigger, more expensive government and the other half is for lots bigger and more expensive government.

While I would dance with joy, it is many, many, many times more likely that every Arab will drop his gun, marry a Jewish girl and attend Temple every week than this will come to pass.

While bailouts are very expensive to the taxpayer, they are far from a cure-all for the recipient. Bailout acceptees are beholden to Uncle Sam, to big government and since the GOP has decided to not be conservative any more they are also beholden to liberals and democrats. That means lots of...

We're on #2. #3 is the next one.

Why don't we just make the minimum wage something nice, like 75 bucks an hour? I can guarantee if we did that nobody would be griping about a 12 dollar an hour job. . . ;)

GM is the gift that keeps on giving: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090218/bs_nm/us_autos GM with 30 billion in sucker loans has a market cap of a bit over one billion. That 17 billion we sunk in it already only keeps it afloat for a few months. We can expect cough up 15 billion a...

"Duh. Is this gun jammed again?" <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2310327>

Right. They sure as hell aren't going to take out a full page ad in the journal telling everybody how they don't want to "pay their fair share", especially after getting hundreds of billions of dollars, and extra especially since they are still in line to get many more hundreds of billions of...

Tough to really blame them, though. As a country, we want and expect the federal government to fix anything and everything. We can't be bothered to read the contract when we buy our house or even understand what the A in ARM stands for, we expect the government to bail us out if the payments...

That's our change. Do you work hard for a living, make responsible decisions and do not rely on government handouts? That makes you a rich bastard who doesn't care about poor people and never pays his fair share. That makes you a big target, and they are coming for you, make no mistake...

Obama musta cut funding for the nuthouses. :(

And peak number of conspiracy and nutjob posts. Don't forget that.

Yep. There's even a trading show on WBT, a Charlotte AM radio station (a big one for the AM band). They also have investing shows, but trading? That's a sign that there are WAY too many people in the markets. Some company (eTrade?) was running a commercial about how you could buy and sell...

Fortunately (?) there are only five or six of us left.

You just can't trust anybody these days: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090214/ap_on_fe_st/odd_outwitted_thieves It would have been interesting to hear the thieves comments upon viewing the empty space their van formerly occupied. "#@&^! Somebody stole our van! God #^%^ #@&^@#@*())!!"
