Sounds like someone wanted to stir things up like rich v. poor, and; it backfired.I think it’s awesome that certain folks have the discipline to invest, cash in, reinvest and keep on holding on to quality investments whether real estate or options,etc.

I agree. I have one liberal friend who thinks these people should be taxed 75% to 80% of their income because they don't make anything or hire people. What he doesn't realize is that these people are responsible for 40% to 50% of the purchases in this country. They're spending their money which keeps the economy going.

the Pelosi's and the Feinsteins of the world vote themselves and their friends billions of dollars of contracts thus wealth...

look at Buffett....did he or did he not benefit from the financial "collapse" because right on cue he bought into assets that he knew were going to be rescued....and we all know he benefits from the pipeline not being built...

rich does not always mean "good" just as poor doesn't always mean "bad"....
