63. You have a very skewed view.

Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 06:21 PM by hippywife

I, too, decry the distribution of the wealth in this country but there are a whole lot of people in between the lord and the serfs who will be hurt immeasurably if you had your way, through no fault of their own.

It doesn't take a rich person to own stock. All it takes is a little squirreling away in a 401K or similar type of account. There are many, many people who don't have much at all who use these vehicles; they sacrifice now, with their eyes on a future where they won't be able to work as hard, if at all, to have any kind of income to live on.
