Like any good magician the CommiecRats are shifting this market collapse to the last 8 years when actual graphs show it was the last 2 years that is the entire problem. As your 201K shows, the previous 6 years was a steady pattern of growth and economic stability. Ask yourself the most important question of your life, are you better off today than you were 2 years ago?
Like any change of leadership the lag between takeover and your policies taking effect is 6 mos after your installation. Looking at the Dow Jones graph you can see that the slide began in Oct 2007 which was 10 mos after Do Nothing Nancy and Dirtbag Harry took the gavel. Their policies affected our monetary policy but their regulatory policies are what really sent this economy into a downward slide. Their Democrat criminality of the Fannie Mae scandal was the ignition of this forest fire that has the banking industry ablaze. Add to that fools like Chuck the Schmuck pouring gasoline on those flames turning it white hot.

Okay, we need some tensiom relief...am still looking for some other emails I sent in oct. I think that most of them were about ayers and wright.
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read ‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’ I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a ‘Obama 08’ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference—just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need—the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is easier to swallow in concept than in practical application.
OR IS IT.........
REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE’S WEALTH IS A GREAT IDEA..............
or just a fools game!!
Best quote I received in an email about redistribution of wealth:
“anything labeled as a progressive tax is always regressive. Its the nature of the beast.”

Interesting Wall Street Journal Article
