Cable I really don’t understand you. Everytime I see you, you’re always in some stupid argument with 5 people over some stupid thing. Now, over in the political and economic forums, everybody’s always ganging up on me, but at least that’s stuff that controversial and worth fighting for...

Look, they take credit card payments, which would raise flags if people were sending 50k or something. But for a few hundred or couple thousand, I don’t find that troubling. Remember they are the casino. The odds are in their favor. So they are trying to get you to play as easy as possible...

Well the first flaw in your thinking is to group Republican and Libertarian together. But anyways how come when anyone talks about corporations outsourcing and insourcing cheap labor that hurt regular Americans, they are automatically labeled an Obama loving Socialist? The work harder argument...

Seriously somebody needs to wake you up. We’re not in 1970 anymore. I pay $1228 a year for car insurance. That is an incredible deal for a 24 year old. I used to pay over $3000. Again I challenge you to find another 24 year old who pays less. Not some generic quote, a real person. I know...

You actually believe a generic quote on a website trying to sell you something rather than the actual statement from a current customer? Did you read the disclaimer? Seriously you need help. Do you really think a major insurance company would sell the exact same plan to 2 different people and...

I’m assuming you’re talking to me. Yea this micro account has been a world of good for me. It has allowed me to trade the way I wanted to, but on a scale that I am comfortable with. I think at $7000, they make you switch to a standard account. I am a long ways from that, so I’ll stick with...

Your response is very typical to what I get around here. Most people end up conceding my points, but delegitimize them because I’m young or don’t have a real job or college degree etc. You disagree with what I say, but can hardly prove my points wrong. In fact you agreed with exactly what I...

Here are the statements to prove it. I don’t know what else you want, but there is no way you’re getting a full coverage plan for $100. If those quotes even true, they are like tire ads for $25. You go there and ask for the $25 tires and of course they are always out of them. Or your car...

I just made my first withdraw from my micro account. Received check in less than a week. Haven't cashed it yet though. They charge a $10 fee no matter what, which annoys me to no end, but I don't withdraw much, so I guess it's fine. I suppose that's how they cover the credit card fees when you...

Gee, I don’t know. Where I have you been for the past couple of years? Banks giving billions in loans to people who blatantly don’t qualify. How about credit card company’s tripling interest rates on those that have paid on time for years. Is that your idea of a free market working...

Maryland, one of the highest tax states out there, and not just income tax. I don’t know how you came up with $1494, but I can assure you, it will be a lot less than that. But with $1494, give an example of how to live on that. Be specific, no generalities please. I’m 24. My insurance is...

I made up all those figures except for the health insurance, but I think we can agree that they are definitely on the low side, and yet they will still definitely be more than $2,000 a month. A one bedroom apartment is at least $850 where I live. Someone needs at least a $15 job to make that...

$10 and hour, times 40 hours times 4.3 weeks = $1720 a month – 20% in taxes = $1376 a month. Minimal housing: $500 Utilities: $100 Health insurance: $272 Co-Pays and prescriptions: $50 Food: $300 Transportation: $200 (I wish) Phone: $50 Clothes: $50 Household items: $100 Hmmm...

You are looking at a small percentage of the population and judging the rest by that. You are dead wrong. Do you really think if there were no immigrants, that the farmers in Florida would let their oranges rot because “these are jobs Americans won’t do?” You’re an idiot. Anyways...

Me: Start by shipping thousands of jobs overseas. Then ship thousands of immigrants here "to do jobs Americans won't do." Then sell some health insurance and jack up the premium 15% every year. Then sell a bunch of other products that are crap so people have to keep buying more every time it...

Let’s pretend to have a conversation here. I’ll start it and you can finish it. Me: Gee this is rediculous. The government is taking half my money to give it to all those lazy people. You: That’s too bad. What do you do for a living? Me: Well, I rob banks. You: …………

I’m sorry but I don’t understand your logic. You critisize a 20 something for racking up 80k in debt for college, but completely disregard the obvious problem as to why somebody actually has to go 80k in debt just to go to college.

I have suggested this to no avail frequently on ET and to people I talk to. People who bought the Dow at 500 and rode it all the way up, somehow think that they are so hard working when really they rode the inflation boom and corporate profit plundering of the past 30 years. They bought 100k...

I’m trying to figure out exactly what your angle is. You start off with the typical WWII generation stuff, which is well deserved, but we all know it and have heard it before. But then you somehow contrast that the fighting our Grandparents did is on par with what we need to do know with...

I never said it was the answer. How can it be the answer when we have the highest percentage of college graduates, yet unemeployment is increasing, real wages are decreasing, and the ecomomy is in the crapper. You have yet to explain how more college degrees = bad economy. What I did say is that...
