        <![CDATA[So where does &quot;Poorer.&quot; start? Below 10% but above what %? Why does anything have to be made up? It's not the government's money to start with. All they have to do is quit spending more than they take in. Businesses that don't go bankrupt. Unless they are bailed out. Do you agree that those who fall into the &quot;Poorer.&quot; category today are likely to be the well to at some future date? ]]>

        <![CDATA[Where does &quot;Poorer.&quot; start? Below 10% but above what %? The reality is that those you call &quot;Poorer.&quot; or well to do is constantly in flux. So why is it you seem to think there is a permanent underclass that must have a socialist government to prosper? Wouldn't the civil society as a whole prosper to a greater degree by teaching the &quot;Poorer.&quot; to fish rather than having the well to do give them a fish every day? ]]>

        <![CDATA[D-inv: Precisely! None of this is NEW! It's old information available to any who wanted to look for it. Plugs, Biden and voldemort spoke out against these programs on the campaign trail before the 2008 election but put the whole thing on steroids once elected. The only allegation that could be considered as a new element is that the ISP gave unfettered access to NSA and other investigators for data mining. They all deny it happened as one would expect wether it was happening or not. Snowden was a very junior analyst and would not have had access to compartments other than the one he was working in. By claiming he had access to varied packets from multiple compartments he discredits the entire story. There are multiple redundant protocols in place to prevent just such spillage. The only way he could have information like that is if it was provided for him from other sources. That is the real story here. Who spoon fed him obsolete information to make him appear to know more than he did or could. Of course like the good lap dogs they are our pack of journalist hounds are dutifully off chasing the rabbit. Last week the big three networks ABC, NBC and CBS ran 23 stories about the IRS and two about Benghazi. This week there was one about the IRS and none about Benhgazi. You see the effect of chasing the rabbit? Once all is said and done I suspect we will find that no current information, methodology or personnel were compromised. Think about this. He is obviously well funded staying in luxury hotels in Hong Kong isn't cheap. If the Chinese thought him a valuable intelligence asset they would have snatched him already. If the US thought he was really inflicting serious damage they would have snatched him. You have heard of rendition right? I wonder what incentives he is being given to be the rabbit and ultimately take the fall for the criminal aspects in all of this?  ]]>

        <![CDATA[Double Guns greetings. Indeed I did it's a good link. I have concluded that the NSA/Snowden leak story is a rabbit set loose by the administration for all to chase instead of focusing on the real abuses at the IRS, DOJ and EPA. All of this is old news repackaged to look like something new. The hook is that the allegations about data mining the servers of all the major ISP. Both the government and those providers are denying it and for once they are telling the truth. The catch is that since they have been caught in so many lies already no one believes them now when they do tell the truth! It's a very clever misdirection/disinform... campaign.  ]]>

I've never been one to day trade. It gives me a headache and doesn't produce enough profit to make it worth my while. Once upon a time when the market was as rational as it ever gets I used stops. Since the first flash crash I stopped using them as it became clear that the quant monkeys were using them to manipulate the market. Retail investors are very wary at this point because the market has been irrational for such a long time frame buoyed up by endless QE and manipulated by Da Boyz and Uncle Sugar. <a rel='nofollow' target='_blank' href='http://bit.ly/11acHKk'>http://bit.ly/11acHKk</a> In fact many look at it more like a casino than an investment platform. ]]>

        <![CDATA[Jpau: Greetings. Bush was excoriated for warrantless wire taps on calls originating from outside the US. He was blasted for data mining foreign internet traffic passing through the US on our infrastructure. This is worse by an order of magnitude. When Nixon was discovered doing various nefarious activities Republicans joined Democrats to discover the truth. This time around the Democrats only interest is circling the wagons to protect their folks. Do you see the difference in any of this? I agree with you that the establishment of both parties is rotten to the core. Furthermore it's the progressives on both sides of the isle that are continuing to propagate this corruption. Bush and both parties passed the abomination known as the Patriot Act. Bush expanded the practices and Voldemort has put it on steroids. The TEA party and Libertarian movements taking control of the Republican party is our best hope. ]]>

        <![CDATA[What you seem to fail to understand Rich is that we know which group of people are trying to kill us and yet we refuse to acknowledge the truth. Your rationale is absurd. You insist that there was torture but I say there wasn't my opinion is as good as yours. We never used EIT on anyone who wasn't a proven high value detainee. Islamists on the other hand kill indiscriminately and frequently. When the &quot;Moderate Muslims.&quot; fail to clean up their own house those decidedly militant Americans will be forced to do it for them. They really should decide who they should fear more. Us or their militant brethren? I would suggest that they have far more to fear from us than they do each other. There is no more brutal an entity on the battle field than a 19 year old US soldier who is on his third deployment and has lost many of his brothers in arms to these cowards. What do you suppose will happen when they try to institute Sharia law in Dearborn MI? Maj Hassan is trying to get tried under Sharia law Rich. It's not even far fetched as they (Muslims.) are already trying to do just that. As far as I'm concerned any of them that want Sharia should move to a place that has it already. Any who attempt to institute it anywhere in the US or it's possessions should be tried for treason and executed. Yes Rich it's a WAR! I can't tell the difference between a moderate and a militant so I'll just kill all of them. There will be no peace until the Muslims learn to love their children more than they hate us.  ]]>
