I stand corrected, they were not brandishing, just carrying

just another reminder, if it is a serious problem and it affects your life, don't let the government take care of it

couldn't agree with you more. The number one tool and power for the government comes in the form of means testing. Both in benefits and in taxation.

well then I guess it is finally settled once and for all. But if all I cared about was money and I didn't actually have to show up and do the job, I would much rather sit in my pajamas maxing out my 401k than trying to take a one time lump sum and trade it for fifty years. Trading isn't the...

it was on tv, but I agree with you. If you want to see what open carry really looks like check out Israel. If a man is walking down the street without an ouzi he is immediately suspicious. I think it was Chipoltle, and they posted a sign, Our Customers Have Asked That You Please Refrain From...

I like the old jewish year of jubilee law. Just make it big and make it one time. For instance, anyone who was a citizen on Dec 31 gets 800/mo for life. Citizen on Jan 1? sorry.

well, Northrop and Lockeheed are just more sophisticated versions of the NRA.

that last one was born in the USA

they had a bunch of rednecks in an open carry state who drove up in their pickup with "assault weapons" and walked into a Wendy's or Chipoltles, and laughed it up brandishing their rifles. It was all legal. Now, If a bunch of middle eastern guys drive up in a Yukon with tinted windows and get...

my point is, without a strong family unit and the orderly passing of wealth from the fathers to the sons the grandchildren always seem to be born into and die in poverty. If you cut all the rags to riches anecdotes which are great stories because for the most part they are uncommon, you are...

He has a strategy...let them kill each other over there, it is not our problem. And I agree. Now dealing with ISIS in USA? That's a problem. I'm still waiting for any candidate or even any poster on ET to come up with a workable idea.

yep, it's a mine field out there. Just don't be an Average Joe and always do one thing or never do another. If it was that easy we'd all be rich.

oh is this the old "Never Average Down" thread revitalized? don't even get me started any trading rule which starts with the word "Never" should never be followed how bout, "Never average down in a trending market if you are on the wrong side."? Is that good enough for ya? The average Joe...

yes, but the greatest way to build wealth is to pass it down through the generations to your children. Once that starts happening, it doesn't really matter where you came from or how you got here.

compared to 401k'ers, no trading strategy will ever beat them. But you need income to invest, and that is their edge over a trader who just starts with a lump sum and has to rely on "precise timing."

that's the best you can do? There is a statute of limitations on a promise from the United States? (depending on who it is made to?)

Israel has a monthly stipend.

now about that 40 acres and a mule?....still waiting for the honest white man to make good on his promise

it's an old Milton Freidman idea. And it's not crazy, it's a very good idea. Wealth redistribution at it's finest. No mention in the artcle on Finland's tax rates. We have two social programs in USA that both work for the most part. Social Security and Medicare. And neither are means tested...

Didn't they make you check your guns before entering the town? Most of us would prefer living in the Wild West compared to how it is now. There is no gun problem. You're the problem. Left wing extremist who wants to eliminate my right to choose.
