Unless you're already rich, Wall Street is rigged against you.No one has to hire a broker.

Stock buybacks are set to hit a record $1 trillion this year, even as presidential candidates try to restrict them | Markets Insider
Rich people don't steal my money.
The people that steal my money are the welfare queens that uses the government to increase my taxes. You know, all these greedy little shithead Democrats that elect big government lawmakers that increase my taxes.
They are the real thieves.
We can stop that thievery by doing away with all welfare, subsidies, grants, bailouts and entitlements.
So you would submit that if it werent for the rich investing in China, YOU would have started a factory where you churn out cheap promotional crap all the while paying your workers...your 'partners' a living wage and providing for them retirement, healthcare, food, a home, etc??Rich people don't steal my money.

The rich are making money by selling goods in China, Vietnam, Mexico, countries that hate us, and the rich helped build up with outsourcing by the rich.
This is not just a national disgrace, a disgrace of our livelihood, its a disgrace of propping up the enemy.
As I said, good for you. I did the same. I was able to work and pay for college without borrowing from my parents or the government. Individually that is possible. Collectively it is not possible. 80% of Americans are in debt. The average personal debt is $38,000. (13.1 trillion collectively) Stupid? Yes.I did it. I did exactly that. I was earning $20,000 a year, and got myself a broker to open an IRA account, and started dumping money into it every single month.
I am not asking anyone else to do something, that I myself have not done.
And honestly, sometimes on this forum, I feel like I'm one of the few people on this planet that had a real father. I was always taught that if I didn't like my income or my job, that it was MY DUTY... to take care of MY LIFE. Sitting around crying tears over how much McDonald's pays, is the refuge of a coward. Grow a pair of balls, and deal with that yourself.
I had jobs that didn't pay enough. The way I dealt with it, was a sat around crying on forums about how unfair society was, and that capitalism sucks, and it was all Obama's fault.
If I had done that, I'd still be at that job. Instead how I really handled it, and how any real man should handle it is.... I quit, and found a job that paid more.
Again, not asking people to do anything I have not done. Idiotic.
Further, your crying over that budget, is ridiculous. My first apartment had all electric heat, and in the winter the electric bill was about $90.
Further, the insurance I had last year, was $20 a month.
I don't see anything wrong with that budget. Second, buy a cheap used car, and get rid of your car payment. Cancel your cable TV. Get a pay-go phone.
Look, here's the bottom line......
Two people working minimum wage in this country, places them in the top 1% of wage earners in the entire world. Top 1% of the planet.
You have a husband and wife, working minimum wage at McDonald's, you are now with a standard of living that places you ahead of the other 7.7 Billion people on this planet.
You can make it on two minimum wage incomes. And honestly, if you are working minimum wage, it's because you suck. I only worked minimum wage, at one point in my life. When I was in high school, before I turned 18, I was 17 working 3 hour shifts part time, and making minimum wage.
The year I turned 18, I started working full time, and you automatically got a 50¢ raise just for being full time, and then you got a $1 raise if you worked there for 12-months. That means in one year, you should at least be $1.50 over the minimum wage.
If you have been in the work force longer than 2 full years at the very most, and you are still making minimum wage, then you are the problem in your life. Not society, or capitalism, not McDonald's or the CEOs. The problem is you. You are either not putting in the effort, or you are simply not doing your job, or you have some other problem. But *YOU* are the problem if you are still making just minimum wage.
And by the way... if you stay at McDonald's for longer than 2 years, you should be in management, and moving up the corporate track. It takes a clear loser to work at McDonald's for years, and still be a fry cook. You should be in line to be store manager by then.
I was at Advance Auto parts for less than a year, and just because I showed up on time, and did my job consistently, they wanted to enroll me in the management training program. If I had stayed there, I'd have my own store by now. Actually by now, I could be a district manager.
If you can't move up from where you are, there is something wrong with you. Get your butt to work on time, stop taking so many breaks, and start doing your job

/——/ Part of the debt problems arise from high interest credit cards. Learn to live within your means and don’t use credit cards with 20% interest rates. Save up and pay cash. There are many ways people can better manage money.As I said, good for you. I did the same. I was able to work and pay for college without borrowing from my parents or the government.

If all those people significantly lowered their debt by lowering spending then less goods would be manufactured. Trillions would be lost from the economy, and eventually my stock would go down, but that's the way it is, It seems that the US economy is very strong now, but its a fragile strength. Everyone -- government, corporations, citizens -- are interested in short term prosperity at the risk of long term stability.

53% of people are 65 and up.
20% of people are disabled.
18% have jobs with sub-survival pay.
9% goes to households with non-elderly, non-disabled people, without jobs.
Much of that 9% involves health care and unemployment insurance.
A small fraction of of that 9% are "welfare queens". Yet the right wing acts as though they are the majority of welfare recipients.
If you think too much money is diverted to welfare, I am not going to argue that point. But you really need to look at the wider problem of what to do with these people. "Get a job" does not answer the problem since only 9% are without a job when you subtract those who are too old to work with no savings, too disabled, or receiving sub-survival pay.

World's Richest People Have More Than Doubled Their Wealth Since 2008

It's not just the rich. It's anyone who is invested in the market. And people's retirement funds are doing great. You always play the victim, don't you? Invest in America and come out a winner!
More power to ya Brisko.
Americans Lost over $10 Trillion in investment/retirement funds and home equity in 2008 and they say the next crash will be much worse.
America Lost $10.2 Trillion In 2008
Yeah, it would be nice if our taxes went down, but what do you think would happen to the US if welfare ended? Many families literally would starve. With Medicaid gone, since you "don't give a shit" you would let them die?. I would bet that voters would get rid of most politicians who would eliminate all welfare.I don't give a shit who they are.
We need to stop all government transfer of income. It is morally wrong for the government to steal my money and give it away to somebody else. It doesn't make any difference who they are. GM, Solyndra, farmers, Illegals, Blacks inner city ghetto monkeys, trailer trash Whites, foreign countries, Wall Street banks etc. None of them earned the money they get. I am the one that earned it.
That is where the real thievery in this country is taking place. It is not because Bill Gates makes more than I do and there is a growing disparity between my wealth and his. It is because the filthy ass welfare state takes my money and gives it away to some filthy Democrat or Republican voting block.
Yeah right, tell that to the millions of families in debt or with no savings because they work at minimum wage jobs./----/ And if in 2009 you'd put $1,000 in the S&P 500 spyder, you would have more than TRIPLED your money. S&P 500 - 10 Year Daily Chart
Not like I just made it up.U.S. household net worth $113.5 trillion in second-quarter 2019
Made it all back and then some.
and they say the next crash will be much worse.
Meh.
/---/ You think $1,000 is a lot of money to save and invest? Man, you are a loser.
BTW, I started out at minimum wage and managed to save $1,000 to open a Fidelity account and my first mutual fund in 1973. I made $125 a week in advertising and another $60 a weekend bartending. I lived in a furnished studio for $25 a week and lived on simple basic foods. I managed to save $25 - $39 a week. In 8 months I had enough to open a brokerage account. The fund returned about $10 a yar and I always added to it.
So what's your excuse?Good for you. What makes you think I'm talking about me? I'm doing very well. I'm talking about the 38 million people living in poverty according to the latest census. Here is what people like you never see./----/ Loser.
McDonald's Sample Budget Sheet Is Laughable, but Its Implications Are Not
They recommend you have two jobs per family. They budget $0 for heating. $20 for health insurance.
You have to remember half of all people are below average intelligence and simply can't lift themselves higher. Do you think those 38 million less than average people can find 38 million higher paying jobs so they can hire a broker?
