Asked another way if you were making 199K in income would your investment above still be a loser?

Like most POLITICAL discussions -- it's about IDEOLOGY rather than actual fact. With this particular POTUS... you're either with him - or against just about everything he stands for. When you have that - you have people that are either elated or they're PO'd.
Frankly -- and I don't want to turn this into a political discussion because nobody "wins" those and there really is no agreement to be had... but the Republican PARTY is to blame here. For the second election in a row they have given us someone that can't win... thereby delivering a victory to the Democrats. You can't run an "ultra rich/lilly white/Mormon" guy that even part of the lilly white rich guys can't get behind... and win. I believe that if you would have taken ONE of the two negatives out (pick one - Rich - White - Mormon) the outcome might have been different.
