I'm trying to understand why taxing higher incomes and increasing earned income payouts is "bad" !?!?! First these people are damned for getting welfare and now, under a program designed to encourage 'work', they are getting damned !! Social darwinism cannot continue forever without a...

There is no reason to be wasting time on teaching high school students any aspect of 'futures trading'. They can learn that stuff when they get to their 40's. Totally pathetic. Teach them how to read, write, and contribute to the good of society. A Catholic Church school no less: this...

WOW !!!! Sobering.

I think Keynesianisn economics has done pretty well for the vast majority of people. We'll never know because we only get to go down one path but I know me and those around me are living better than the 'rich' did 100 years ago.

He might have been 'acting' but I don't think so. In any event, I can definitely identify with him as I have experienced the same thing (not 30K though) and I have acted the exact same way. He has all of my sympathy.

I've been the owner of a 12 unit (2 buildings, 6 apts- 3 upstairs, 3 down) in a low income area. I got into the deal with my brother and do not live in the area. I bought my brother out and have a property manager running it. We are basically breaking even on the deal on a cash flow basis...

I understand the purpose of getting such an investment. I have the million and I'm past 50: WHERE can you get a 7% secure, locked-in investment?

Where can I get a locked-in, concrete-secure 7% investment? Thanks.

I would suggest that you take up flying an airplane for a great challenge.

It's 'you're'.

Plus, if Cindy gets cancer, John will not have to look too far for some action.

Where in the world did you get the false belief that we lost more military personel under Clinton than we did under Bush!?!?!? We had 13 military death under Clinton. It isn't what we don't know that hurts us the most, it's what we "know" that isn't true.

What makes you think it was any different 100 years, or 150 years ago? It has ALWAYS been that way and ALWAYS will be that way.

"In case he dies" !?!? I think it's a sure bet that he will not make it out of the first term. We, (progressive Democrats) really need to push the 'age' issue of McCain and couple it with the lack of experience in the VP. This selection makes me wonder if he's senile already or just...

...and since Reality has a liberal bias, your jihad is really against reality. Therein lies the making of insanity.

How can you say their book value is $29.00? They are holding 'large' amounts of 'assets' in whch the market value cannot be measured. Nobody, even AIG I suspect, knows the precise quantity of 'large'. The CDO's they hold might even belong under the Liability section.

Sounds like my thinking when I bought or sold Puts on WCOM, SUNW, Enron, CHKRS, and a couple others that have faded from my memory.

I majored in Accounting and it turned out to be a great decision. I did accounting work for a couple of major corporations and then went into consulting on ERP software implementations. Made/make very good money and got exposed to many different industries. There are several positive...

I don't know, killthesun, I'm 54 yrs. old and I heard the same hand-wringing over my generation when we were young. I also heard it concerning the Gen X'ers and Y'ers. I've been a Liar and a Thief: neither of which I could be called now. It's easy to be moral when you have enough money...

I sure hope you're right. Be sure to 'taunt' me if Obama wins so that I can be reminded that my lack of faith in the American voter is misplaced.
