Best thing about a Sanders victory, nobody will ever have to work again

So how's your 401k doing and what investment choices have you made lately?

Last year they grew , this quarter I don't expect them to fair as well but it is more my fault as I haven't shifted to more conservative funds. I don't need it for several years so I'm doing well. When the market crashed in 2008, I have gained all back and a lot more. I expect economic down cycles, that is the nature of the beast. I don't blame others because I make a mistake.

Well even I've shifted to more conservative funds and I don't really have time to worry about this stuff. I would have expected the certified financial managers at Putnam (in my case) to do that. Hopefully your heroes won't have screwed you over too badly when the time comes to cash in.

If you don't have time to worry, then don't bitch how you got screwed over. The financial managers aren't my heroes, I'm not sure where you came up with that stupid comment, that's why I research. I don't trust others to make me money. I need to know what I am having done with my money.

Now go back to not worrying about your future.

When I say your heroes, I'm not talking about the financial managers. I'm talking about the Wall Street scum that you seem to believe creates the gains in the market. In most respects, they have only two super powers. 1) They can funnel an inordinate amount of wealth in their own direction and 2) they can crash the whole enchilada out of greed.

how would Clinton or sanders regulate wall street to prevent what you discussed above?

I wonder if he realizes the "gains" we have seen are largely due to the feds printing trillions?

Reinstate Glass Steagall and impose a financial transactions tax. They might even prosecute a few of these scumbags.

Now, what do you dems have? two old white has-beens who want a dictatorial socialist state. One of them is a career criminal and habitual liar who is likely to be indicted, the other is an avowed socialist who has no idea how this economy works or what the constitution says.

Truly a horrible choice. JFK must be rolling in his grave.

 

[bripat9643]

No, not really.. but I'll take your word for it.

Bernie Sanders is not going to be president. Anyway, isn't his name Barack Hussein Obama?

While Sanders may never be President, it's frightening to see how much support by voters he has; truly a decay of our country.

yeah, people getting sick of a rigged-system = decay Put down the Randian kool aid

Voting for socialism and organized looting is decay. That's what ended the Roman Empire.

Hey bripatty, how about you define the word socialism in your own words? I want an objective defintion. None of your biased bullshit flavoring in the definition. I want a real definition. Remember, YOUR OWN WORDS.

You can't do it and you know it.

Easy....finger boy thinks anything the government does to help the people is socialism

I don't think it. I know it. Everything the government does is socialism, by definition.

 

[bripat9643]

You forget. Barack Obama was a BLACK, MUSLIM, MARXIST and got elected lol.

Remember how all the nuts on RW talk radio used to call him Barack HUSSEIN Obama thinking if they said it enough he'd lose the election?

No, not really.. but I'll take your word for it.

Socialism is government control of the economy.

It's as simple as that.

Including funding the development of the technology by which you make your living.

 

[bripat9643]

So how is that any different than you forcing me to pay for sending kids to a socialist indoctrination center?

Yeah, right, because we didn't have any technology before the government started funding it.

99% of the technology I use was privately funded.

 

[bripat9643]

That doesn't excuse your hack- based, ignorance kid. You said you weren't willing to pay for someone else's tuition. Who said you were dummy? Bernie didn't.

are you really that stupid. if college was free, all taxpayers would be paying for someone else's education.

Don't they do that now?

Don't republicans advocate school vouchers so that I can pay to send your kid to bible school?

No, currently you have to pay your own tuition, unless you qualify for some kind of scholarship or grants (you know, like the ones Obama got at Columbia as a foreign student).

the voucher program does not apply to college, didn't you know that?

You are entitled to a basic education in this country K thru 12, regardless of your ability to pay. That's been around how long?

The thing is, a basic education in this country, in this world, in the 21st, needs to be more than a high school degree,
and therefore it needs to be available regardless of one's ability to pay. Leaving the poor behind has never worked in any society.

I agree on K-12 being provided at no charge. As to college, if you are poor but smart you can get all the free college you want---------ask Ben Carson or Tim Scott.

Your idea that everyone should be given a free college degree is not only stupid, its impossible. The country needs plumbers, electricians, welders, auto mechanics, HVAC techs, janitors, carpenters. We used to have vo-tech in high schools to provide these skills, what happened?

Illegal aliens are taking all those jobs now.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Why do conservatives constantly look for free handouts? Red states take most of the welfare from the federal government and they notoriously carry signs that read "keep the governments hands off my medicare".

And in every thread here they seem to want free stuff and to not have to work.

Cons, everyone has to work their whole life. No government program present or future will give you your dream of not working and getting everything free.

Sorry.

 

[bripat9643]

You believe the thread title?

Sorry, but If I'm getting all this free stuff, when will I even have time to work?

Vote for Trump. His tax plan may make all of your federal government free, as far as you're concerned.

explain Trump's tax plan and how it would make the govt free.

He eliminates federal income tax altogether for more people than now pay no federal income tax. For them it will be 'free'.

All of the Republicans in fact are proposing lower taxes, plus more spending on the military. More 'free' military. More 'free' wars.

yep, we saw how those "free" foreign adventures worked-out under the last rw Admin. The poor & middle-class ended up paying for it through the nose in more ways than one.

Are you proposing to abolish the military?

Hard to keep track of all you libertarian nut jobs but don't you do web based S/W?

I assume S/W means software. Apparently you think that if someone writes a web app that government gets 100% credit for the technology used. The reality is that government only deserves about 1% of the credit.

It wouldn't have happened without the government. The way corporations work, they MIGHT look ahead 5 years and if there's not a payoff in that amount of time, they don't go down that road. Government isn't obliged to turn a profit short term so they can take on the Moon Shots that no private corporation would. It's not just the internet either. It's VLSI R&D, without which there'd be a small number of huge computers in the world and so on.

What is fake speculation? Since you have a 401K, like me, then it seems we are in the same boat.
