41. Head smacking allowed.... Lord knows I generally deserve it...
That aside, I'm not making assumptions that someone made "bad" decisions. I am "assuming", no make that "hoping", that with enough information everyone can play on a level field with the "bull market" folks.

Hell why not... would you like to make say 5-7% at a minimum on your savings... how about 15-20%.... The question is do you know how to do that ?

Really, say you had $1 and after a year, with little to no effort of your own, that dollar was now worth $1.05-$1.20. You could then take those "extra" $$$ out to pay off something, contribute to a candidate, help someone else...etc.... then do it again the next year.

My advocacy here is that making money from "your" money should not be the sole venue of the elite, rich, repugs... dems can do it too to help them get a leg up, help others, and make a difference.

As long as we, the average working joe, live paycheck to paycheck, we will be dependent on the corporate elite for our jobs, our retirement, our medical. Once we are able to detach from them by using them to make the $$$ necessary for "quality" living we can begin to thumb our nose and say... take that you slime, I only care about your companies ability to making money.

Hell, while "corporations" like to presume "person hood" from a legal perspective, they are not. They are, and should be used as, a means to make money.

That's my point about the "bull market"... use the bastards to help us an individuals.
