Quoting “ George B Shaw on Freerepublic “ has got to be an Oxymoron to say the least.
This hideous man Shaw was a devout fabian socialist who advovated death chambers for “useless people “. Those against socialist dogma that is.
Their logo was and still is “A wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Give me Mitt Romney any day.

Zucker in certain circles would hardly be considered a “mensch”. I find it interesting that he references Romney’s decision when as governor to deny free meals at state expence to a given group and that leaders of that faith shared Romney’s decision. Zucker then cites a eugneics advocate, Shaw,who’s been quoted by Adolph, and shared Shaw’s viewpoint as well as acted on it. Then Zucker cites an actor who performed in a TV series about the presidency. What happens when Iran drops the bomb on Israel, Mr Sheen ?

Zucker must stand to lose a ton of dough probably invested in wind mills and that kind of stuff.

Well we know Zucker doesn't know what he is talking about. Romney gave his inheritance to BYU and started with basically nothing. Now Romney did have a world class education and is very smart.

I wonder if this is the same Michael Zucker....a stock broker from Scarsdale (years earlier than now).....

Individual Disciplined for Creating Misleading Appearance of Market and/or Active Trading

Michael Zucker of Scarsdale, N.Y., a former managing director of block trading at a member firm, consented without admitting or denying guilt to findings relating to his trading in two securities, formerly listed and traded on the NYSE, in April 1998. Perhaps a relocation to Tahoe to start anew?

An NYSE hearing panel found that Zucker’s member-firm employer used “focus lists,” (that is, lists of issuers that the firm believed could generate future business for the firm, including future underwriting business) and that the firm’s traders were encouraged and expected to capture the highest percentage of trading volume in the securities of focus list-issuers by soliciting firm customers for order flow in focus list-securities, by trading such securities on a proprietary basis when there was no natural order flow, and by advertising the firm’s interest in providing liquidity in the securities.

The panel found that on April 8, 1998, in one of the stocks, and on April 9, 1998, in the other, Zucker entered orders to buy the security with the knowledge that orders to sell shares of the same security would be entered for substantially the same size, at substantially the same time, and at substantially the same price. The hearing panel found that Zucker’s trading had the effect of creating a false and misleading appearance of the market and/or active trading in the securities.

The NYSE imposed a penalty of a censure and $45,000 fine. Zucker consented to the penalty.

Dear Michael,
You are wrong about an important thing.
Every man has core principles.
By his acts shall he be known.

Just another jealous jerk - who tried to cheat and failed.

More projection and dishonesty.

Remind me where the Kennedy clan got their money.

Remind me how many times did John (I served in Viet Nam) Kerry have to get married before he landed the big one?

If he’s a stockbroker, I don’t want him touching any of my investments. He can ask Bronco Bama if Bronco can invest some of Zucker’s money. Namely ask Bronco to raise his taxes. I’m sure Mr. Zucker would agree to forfeit another fifty percent of his income for the good of the country. (smirk)

Yet these whiners were happy to vote for such as John Kerry and the Kennedy family like those folks understood how common folk live. None of them ever had a real job versus a figure head, token position.

Playwright George Bernard Shaw warned us, “Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power.”

QED, George Bernard Shaw is/was an idiot of the first magnitude...

To: Paradox; All

The part about not changing their votes was clear, but the part about them being freeloaders and several other uncomplimentary characterizations is what gets people. Probably only about 7% of the population falls in that group. The rest are working or retired people who do not have enough income to be required to pay taxes. A couple with 2 children has to earn over $26,400 before they owe taxes. This comes to $12.70 an hour for a 40 hour, 52 week year.
