Trump is irrelevant. He has been an entertaining side show, and he may have a media afterlife on television channels so long as sponsors can be found. As a business man he is ruined for the time being. His brand has little to no cache' since he was exposed as a liar and cheat. It will be...

It is totally unfair that the poor have managed to completely circumvent the double taxation of dividends by the expedient of being lazy.

All bet you've never understood way those crackheads don't go out and invest just like you did, and generate some capital gains of their own. After all no one is forcing them to be crackheads. They should go out and buy an apartment house and rent it out!

A first step would be to tax the upper 10 % at no net lower rate than say those making 75-100K. This probably would require something no more complicated than taxing unearned income above some reasonable floor at the same rates as earned. Wall Street and the Real Estate would fight it. But it...

It is not necessary on my account, but if you're so inclined go ahead. Probably the Moderator is not going to want a 'zillion' emails posted however.. If you can find a single email where she lied 'a zillion times', why not just post that one?

May I suggest an interesting experiment to you. Voluntarily reduce your income next year and 'spend the money.' Then report back. If you like the outcome we can all do it the following year.

What is it at worst then?

From: Wapshott, Nicholas, "Keynes and Hayek," Pg. 263, Norton:New York (2011). "According to Nobel prize winning MIT Economist Robert Solow, "The boom that lasted from 1982 to 1990 was engineered by the Reagan Administration in a straightforward Keynesian way by rising spending and lowered...

:rolleyes: (Underlining in quoting Scat is my addition. Please expand the quote to fully appreciate it.)

This is well reasoned and correct in my opinion: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-10-26/why-this-dollar-surge-is-different-for-the-fed The bottom line is that the U.S. economy must be viewed in terms of its relationship to the economies of our major trading partners, and likewise...

This is hilarious! What started as a contribution to a political campaign has now become payoff money. What started with Bill greeting Lynch at an airport has now become a meeting with Bill and Hillary, in Las Vegas, in an airplane. There is so much ingenuity here that if there was a Nobel...

Not at all. There is no reason to believe they are not genuine. And they show you what those of us on a more even keel have been saying all along. There is nothing there! Get over it! Just the usual and very predictable communications. In this way, i.e., to disabuse the conspiracy-lunatic...

Never mind the fact that she has never been indicted, let alone tried and convicted of any serious crime; yet you somehow believe she should be in prison for life! Chances are you believe that she has gotten away with her many crimes through skulduggery or a conspiracy of some kind. You are...

This is, it seems, what a surprisingly large number of people believe. But of course he hasn't 'shown' anything. He has run a campaign completely devoid of verifiable facts or data. First time in my memory any candidate has done this.

This is of course the great dilemma. You have a common currency but no common bond. It is as yet not a fully integrated monetary system, and this is why Soros said in Frankfurt that Germany must agree to the Euro bond or leave the EMU.

But do you have any data at all to back up what you say? I mean data as far as the professional polling outfits in recent years are concerned. Not TV call-in polls, or internet polls, but real polls designed by professional statisticians. Their record of late seems nearly flawless to me.

If anyone here is interested in what causes George Soros gives money to, this is an accurate book: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=The+philanthropy+of+George+Soros Soros is one of our most public intellectuals and is among the most important...

You can be wrong, but please don't be stupid.

Posting this nonsense does not reflect favorably on your intelligence. Your opinion of traders must be quite low for you to think that any on them would take such a post seriously. http://www.snopes.com/george-soros-bring-down-us/

It is good to keep in mind that our country was founded by those with great mistrust of a Federal Government. We are in some respects still a nation cobbled together from 50 little countries. If you are a resident, you can vote for the President in many states, but be virtually forever barred...
