I read an article the other day that Illinois still owes $771million to businesses for tax refunds dating back 2 years now. That's not just for large conglomerates, many small businesses are owed five figures and have had to either close up shop or make serious adjustments due to the state's...

Give it time, I don't expect these longer term demographic changes to happen overnight. Regarding "African" leadership as you kindly put it, go visit some of the websites listing councilman, and various high profile city government posts, it's very, very "African". Regarding the exchanges...

Don't worry your little head. Soon enough they will confiscate your assets, if you have any.

This will simply accelerate business leaving Illinois, and more importantly that nexus of corruption Chicago. I'd put decent odds on Chicago becoming 'the next Detroit" within a generation. Plenty of ghetto areas that could spill over and increase white flight out of Chicago, and eventually...

Indeed.

That's at least a generation or two away. After all, 40 years of encouraging and even paying women to push out kids hasn't really worked out so well. I'd be in favor of only allowing individuals with something at stake, the right to vote. i.e. those with employment (not government...

Bullshit, I could find dozens of former floor traders who would absolutely, 100% argue that markets can be and have been rigged numerous times in the past and present. And you're probably going to tell us that a particular market has never been cornered either?

And I ask the question: which race is predominantly engaged in these scams?

I agree completely. Unfortunately, most people won't believe you. They will always suspect that if you disagree with them, you MUST be a supporter of the OTHER party. My latest scrape up with this brain dead kid, Tinfoil is a perfect example of how any anti-liberals are branded as...

It's the party of the disenfranchised. Since the Democrats essentially bribe their constituents with massive public sector largesse, extended unemployment benefits, welfare, food stamps, etc, etc...the "buy" votes by scaring their constituents into voting for a continued gravy train.

You're search function is clearly broken Tinfoil. Where are these posts about Soros? Link them.

Tinfoil, You gigantic loser. Just admit you went online and did a search for "denner" and found one of MANY denner's posting about Koch Industries. Who was your mentor, Inspector Clouseau?

Completely on target post. I've mentioned that it's the absurd cost of living in this country that prevents us from bottoming out and becoming reasonably competitive again. The fact that the broad based ponzi that was benefitting much of the middle class (i.e. home equity extraction plus a...

No growth, just pricing in perpetual "stimulus" and currency debasement. Hence, my precious metals holdings outperformed the stock market. Taken to its illogical extreme, I suppose the cheerleaders will be plain giddy if the S&P 500 more or less doubled to 2500, and/or Gold hit $3000 and oil...

You are fucking deranged. I have nothing to do with Koch Industries, nor have a clue as to what you are talking about. Are you scouring the internet for all things "denner"? If so, you are a bigger dumbass than I'd have imagined.

Trust your intuition.

It's a no win argument with the vast majority on this site. This place is filled with pollyana's; I largely suspect that most of them are baby boomer assholes who feel entitled to perpetual asset inflation at the cost of destroying the country and all future generations. You also can't point...

Take your own advice then, old timer.

The more things change the more they stay the same. 20-25 years ago, all I heard was talk about the Japanese owning us. Granted, this time around, we are orders of magnitude more vulnerable to our creditors. Hey, but I'm just a "doom and gloomer".

I slam all things that are a burden upon the individual, both parties have grown the public sector to extremes over the past 10-20 years. It just so happens that since you are a Democrat and paranoid, you have taken those remarks personally. If I slam corporate cronyism, a Republican will...
