I am a newbie to trading! and I am 21. Do I live with my parents? Ha. I moved out my parents house when I was 17. I started my first company when I was 18. I bought my first house out of foreclosure for $350,000 when I was 19, and sold it less than 2 months later for $650,000. At 20 I built a...

The more I read this, I think it may be one of the best posts I've ever read.

yes! 5% holding 68% of the wealth. Middle class incomes have gone down while upper class's have gone up. Current conservative administration has distributed wealth very efficiently.

I agree. My beef wasn't so much with the point of view, but the generic story that they seem to think is all you need to understand complex economic situations.

Oh, are you saying that she shouldnt have taxes at all? You don't seem to know the difference between anarcho-capitalism and mixed-capitalism. Guess which one we are?

See fact and figures are great! Example: on a spending received per household basis the top 20% quintile, at $33,484, is only slightly behind the bottom 20% quintile at $35,510 on total government spending. With the middle 4 quintiles (that's 80% for the slower ones) all receiving much less...

I hate this story because its pointless. Here I'll make my own, equally pointless story: I would like to ask the dad: Would you like everyone to have a higher GPA? "Yes" he said, "I would like for everybody to do well" Ok here's how to do it. Why not call the dean and ask her to drop Audrey's...

I already went over this story. Of course I understand the point. But do you all really think this is what it comes down to? That the moral of this story is all we need to understand economic policy? I know you do. That's fine, just know that the reason we elect incompetent leaders is because...

lol another one of these stupid pointless stories aye?

It seems obvious you all dont live in a city. Anyways around here there is always people PAID to go stand out by jamba juice and ask them to register to vote. If they want they can register right then and there. It how I did it. The people that work for these companies are paid little and are...

lol if you only knew how stupid it sounds when you call Obama a socialist.

EXACTLY. Thanks. And of course reagan raised taxes to levels lower than Obama is proposing.

He forgets some guys name, big deal but the second half of the video is worth watching on tax policy and Reagan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM3wuAl9EkQ

These words are thrown around a lot here. I did some further research on the two, its obvious you all have know idea what you're talking about when you invoke these two ideologies. Try wikipedia. Is it a novel concept to know what you are saying before you say someone is a marxist or socialist...

Reading this you would think Obama is raising taxes to some extreme level, when in fact its not extreme at all. But I doubt any of you did enough research to know, since you dont even know what marxism is.

Which hopefully is painfully obvious after bush decided to finance all of his gov spending. Someone is going to have to pay it sometime.

The fact is we have hordes of incompetent politicians. I believe its not the dems or repubs that got us into this mess, its the ignorance and apathy of the masses that facilitate the electing of incompetent leaders who then fuck everything up, in a bipartisan way.

lol gord is still at it. Putting that guy on ignore was one of the smartest decisions I've made.

Hmm maybe because: We dont like inflation We dont like losing jobs We dont like out of control Gov spending We dont like our country being as heavily leveraged as those companies that are going under We see that supply side economics doesn't always work, we know that no based on...

I see. I was just making a separate point. Once again you seem to be able to put those who favor and all out gun ban in their place, will you do the same to the strict constructionists who advocate ALL gun ownership and sale no matter what? The smart among us will see that the answer is in the...
