2. Hello people number one the stock market is not money in the bank

just because Wall street and republicons say it is. Guess its a generational thing from having parents and grand parents born after 1929, kids see things differently then adults. My grand fathers who were both born before 1900, had a distrust of Wall street, banks and republicons. Dad on the other hand, born 1934, didn't share grand dads distrust as much. Myself, I don't have trust in anything, probably grand dads influence on me and my life lessons.

Those who have grown up in the Reagans me me me years, don't have a clue about the lost america or the changes that started with Nixon. I believe Nixon started the welfare state for the simple reason that it would ensure republicons a straw man to get the brain dead to vote against their best interests, Reagan used the welfare card well, by telling the nit wits it was the poor eating up their tax dollars. At the time only 2 or 3% of all welfare folks were life long welfare recipients, remember welfare as it was in 1980 didn't start until 71 or 72, so what Reagan said was a lie ( surprise, not )but it played well with the nit wits beliefs. As I remember it most that were on welfare were on it short time as theres no way it paid enough for folks to live high off the hog as Reagan lead folks to believe.

By playing the greed card republicons then set up Joe worker to give up on things his father and grand father worked hard to get for them and bought into the Wall street invest in your future scam, the 401k. In reality its was gambling your future on Wall street in a pretty shiny wrapper. That is where we are today, sadly I see no hope of ever seeing the America of my youth, the America the republicons destroyed, where religion was a personal relationship and not rammed down ones throat, where Americans lived under the real threat of nuclear war yet gave up no rights for the illusion of safety, where Americans feared nothing and strove to help their fellow man.

3. I think those shows are worse than useless.

They are infomercials for investment banks and brokerages.
