You guys are on a roll. Especially Greg.

Kinda reminds me of the Community Reinvestment Act and Barney Frank and friends wanting to make Homeownership a right to be "fair"... If you could hold a pen and sign the papers....poof....The house is yours....Well not really yours, for that long anyways...

That didn't work out so well now did it ? Well actually for some of us it did seeing as 2009 was a great year to invest, but more most , the subprime lending was the opening of the barn door that let all the animals out..

Anytime government gets involved, it cost too much, takes too long, ends up screwing up the whole thing, and gets blamed on someone else..

Love it here in Maryland, they have a media blitz for the food stamps program. Spending my money advertising, to give my money away. Heard a local congressman saying we are trying to make it so there is no shame in receiving food stamps, here in lies the problem. There needs to be a stigma in it, so you want to get off of it.
Hey now, Pelosi said that giving away more food stamps would stimulate the economy

Yeah -- let's see.... poor people (nothing wrong with them other than they are poor).. buy food and basics. Pay little or no taxes. Use the majority of "free" services.

I'm just a dumbazz 1 percenter.... I employ yard service people - pool people - property management people... buy tons of car parts and services... pay huge income taxes and property taxes... We travel a LOT so book airfares - use hotels - restaurants - taxis or rental cars etc... we use ZERO "free" services...

I wonder which one of us has more or less effect on the overall economy?

Just a JOKE guys --- but not far from the truth.....




Romney said, "When I'm elected, I will put Americans back to work," and 51% said, "Screw That!!"

I'll estimate 95% of the people who's actions triggered the need to capture these photo's are receiving multiple levels of taxpayer funded support services.

Just to add some fuel to the fire, I ran into several articles on up and coming 401k plan changes:

http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/now-obama-wants-your-401k/

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505146_1...hould-be-glad/

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blu...ollment-provis

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-125710

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...929233,00.html

The way I figure it, social security, etc. will all be bankrupt by the time I can retire. Thus, I have been plowing as much as possible into my 401k ever since I left the military.

Now, they want to grab that money.

At least they won't grab my taxable investments (oh, wait, they are!).

Sigh...
