From ThomasJefferson's profile page:   "Location: CHGO BURBS... Profession: Stock trader"

Even people who've never been to Chicago are aware of its unique Italian, Polish and German cultural heritage. But Chicago is also home to the near-legendary Chicago stock trader and their reputation as one of the most obnoxious, egocentric and self-absorbed group of people ever to inflict itself on this earth. All in all, they represent the very flower of Libertarianism.

A few years ago, during a visit to Chicago, I had the distinct pleasure of watching one these pimples-on-the-butt-of-humanity get yanked out of his car and receive a well deserved thrashing after he made the mistake of acting out one his "Get out of the way, I'm more important that you are" temper tantrums in public. Only a passing cop saved the miscreant from a much worse fate being inflicted by this angry crowd (and the cop was none too pleased at having to rescue such vermin).

Say Tommy J., you don't perhaps drive a white Mercedes-Benz with a couple of fist-sized dents in the hood, do you?

LOL!

LOL! Keep up the great writing! (Um, if TJ had a passenger in his car, would that constitute socialism?)

Most members of any Chicago exchange ( and there is NO Chicago Stock Exchange ! ), are NOT Libertarians. How many members of any or all of these exchanges do you personally know ; have ever known ?

I notice there is nothing about you on your profile page, maybe it's because there is nothing about you.

Someone who trades in stocks derives his income from an entity which is the creation of the state. In addition, equities traded in the market are subject to federal regulation and oversight. Therefore, Tommy would appear to be someone who owes his livelihood to state and local governments. And he slams homeschoolers who want to borrow a few books from a local library.
