Sears Is Holding Strong

Some people just don't seem capable of comprehending the fact that Eddie Lampert is NOT the brilliant investor you all made him out to be when he was picking all that low hanging fruit a couple of years ago. The man has lost 5 billion dollars and if you've lost part of that along with him, please, just give it up. You're not going to get a truly informed public to try to get any of it back for you.

So... still... the only important thing in all of this is your "portfolio"? And you'll still support anything that boosts your portfolio no matter what it does to the rest of the country? And you'll oppose anything that levels the playing field between Wall Street parasites who make their living sucking the life's blood of this country and producing nothing while the people who actually work for a living go without basic necessities in order not to adversely affect your "portfolio"?

Is there anything... anything at all... that might take precedence over a slight reduction in the amount of wealth in your "portfolio"? Are you truly so greedy... so selfish... that you would outsource the wealth of this country to one of those with "freer" economies (Communist China I presume) if any attempt were made to lower the gap between your "portfolio and my dinner table and reogn in the stupidity that brought us the current debacle in which you and your ilk remain bulletproof while we working stiffs take the hit for your stupidity and greed?

Excuse me again, but isn't outsourcing most of the decent jobs and much of the investment in this country something you've already been doing for a while now?

Of course I've gone on way too long but attitudes like yours, based on maintaining the Wall Street stranglehold on the wealth of this country was most likely the main reason Obama was elected in the first place. Just what the hell do you accomplish by threatening to take your little marbles and go somewhere else to play if he doesn't continue the exact same policies that brought us the biggest financial meltdown since 1929?
