benefits corporate fat cats and shareholders at the expense of American labor

I believe 40% of American workers ARE shareholders.

” I believe 40% of American workers ARE shareholders. “

I love you people who throw that number out as if it ends the discussion..

Let’s look at it —

It means that 60% (That’s a significant majority) of us are NOT shareholders — we’re down here on the streets paying the price - in stagnating wages and decreased purchasing power - of the manipulations of the vaunted 40%.

And of that 40%, the vast majority are NOT ‘active traders’, and are left holding the sack when the tottering edifice built by the ‘experts’ collapses under its own weight...

More than that....

I believe 40% of American workers ARE shareholders.

Any American worker with a 401(k) or 403(b) is a shareholder ... many American workers with IRAs are also shareholders.
