Yes, it's called CLASS WARFARE. It's not so much rich vs poor as it has been througout history, but in the US it's those that don't want to work vs those that do. There is abundant opportunity to earn a living in the US for 90% of the people that are mentally and/or physically able to do...

I totally agree. However, the entitlement spending must be reduced by 85%. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for people's healthcare and welfare if they are doing drugs. I have no problem with legalizing drugs as I agree with personal responsibility, but then the other shoe is that you have...

This is without a doubt the least productive thread on ET right now.

Take the job. Give it a shot and if it works out great. If it's not for you, you have every right to quit 6 months from now, just as they could let you go at any time. Then you can go back to doing what you do now. Don't think for a second in a corporate type environment that you owe them...

Zillow = Not Accurate Usually it's on the high side by quite a little

Thank you for your posts Pascal. They have been very thoughtful and informative. Could you please post your thoughts for how the next 5-10 years (or even longer) play out? Obviously no one can predict the future, but I'm curious as to what you see in regards to, as you say the "dollar...

Over leveraging or risking too much on a trade will cause you to make bad decisions 99% of the time.

Yes, it's all George Bush's fault. Not the Dems and the teacher's union which have been cotrolling public education since the 60's.

Yes, but you can't get elected POTUS by just blacks, hard core libs and poor people voting for free shit. You still need some of the middle to come over to your side. As rediculous as McCain was as a candidate and as popular as Barack was he still didn't win by a landslide. A good GOP...

With all due respect, are you really surprised that Obama wants to increase taxes? What were you thinking when you voted for him? I'm not trying to be a smart ass or say I told you so, I really want to know what about him appealed to you. Unless you're a socialist/communist, which by the...

Only 6 words and yet it's all that needs to be said on that matter

Well said.

This might be the single dumbest political statement I've ever heard.

Speaking of moderators, who was the mod that was on here all the time and seemed to have some sort of nervous breakdown a year or two back? Maybe I made this whole thing up, but I seem to recall someone like that. He just had a breakdown and stopped trading and moderating if I remember...

I'm not ready to predict armageddon, but I agree with the premise that a huge percentage of what we spend is very discretionary. Obviously I'm talking mostly about middle and high income people, but even our "so-called" poor spend a lot of money on stuff that truly aren't necessities...

Our public school system is a complete travesty. It's very sad actually because as someone else pointed out, it's not due to a lack of funding.

Great suggestion shorty. $69/year seems very reasonable for such a service.

We already have our "captivating leader" (although Hitler didn't need a telepromter like Obama).
