This is a quote worth reading and holding onto...let it sink in!

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

The class warfare is my biggest fear, we can not afford to divide this great nation, by putting the less fortunate against the more fortunate. Most of the wealhty have not taken from the poor for their own gain. With the exception of some less than honest, politicians, bankers,mortgage lenders, who would stop at nothing for their own personal gain. Most wealthy people in my experience, work longer hours, make larger personal sacrifices, make more commitment to those around them,take more risk in the buisness world, have more desire to achieve than others. This is neither good or bad, this doesn't make the buisnessman any better or any worse than the the employee. This is what comes out of a free capitolist society. Those who chose to live this life can, and those who don't want the responsibility, or stress, can work a 8 hour day and go home and not have to worry about anything the rest of the evening. Thats what makes this, the best country in the world.
But the resentment and hostility, that has shown itself as of late, is not the solution. Pehaps it was the Baptist minister that influenced peoples vote, so be it, if it's fact and something I believe in , then it's needs to be disclosed. I don't write on here for the thumbs up or thumbs down, rather I wish to share my opinion and give people another perspective on the challanging enviroment we now face. Thank you and have a great day!

I would like to remember back to when if a member of the U.S. goverment was accussed of tax evasion, adultery, using illegal drugs, lieing, ....ect, his career as a politician was over, but not today, the bigger the crook, the faster they get elected and the longer they stay in office. What a shame! I believe that we are all headed for class warfare, the people that work hard and have achievements to be proud of, and then those who never want to do anything to help themselves, and blame the successful people for what they don't have! The new president, is helping instill this in the poor everytime he speaks, he imply's that the people who have accomplished something in their lives, have done it at everyone elses expense. Thats wrong ! I could go on and on, but I've already found there are alot of people on this blog that disagree with my thinking, and I believe the things they write confirms the resentment that the poor have toward others. It's not a matter of if we have class warfare, I believe it's a matter of when! If those same angry people were smart enough to realize that the goverment with all the false promises and lies were the problem,and focus their rage on the corrupt goverment politicians, we could actually unite again and accomplish something that would secure our children's and grand children's future.

Have a great day John, hope to hear from you again soon.

When the next generation bears witness to the amount of wealth lost by their parents, and the horror story's begin to be told, we will have a new generation trying to preserve their wealth. This could be the beginning of a new bull market, that could last for generations.

Now that most everyone has been investing in the stock market and not precious metals, when the stock market investor realizes that the stock market will never be the same, maybe people will start to invest in something that is viewed as stable, it shouldn't take much of a shift in physcology to make golds price soar.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 09:06:57 -0500

It's as if this administration is mad at anyone who worked for what they have, and didn't give their money to losers, so Obama is going to do that for us.

The deficit spending under the Obama plan is sure to inslave the american people for generations to come. It's really sad!

$401k's and IRA's people invested in the stock market will continue to lose their wealth, Obama is angry at the stock market, and the people who invested their hard earned dollars in the stock market. Now he is going to teach us all a lesson. He is going to teach us what it feels like to be poverty stricken. The american working man is about to experience slavery, of which noone ever thought possible, and our children and grand children will be endentured survents for life as well.

1 billion in interest payments, on a budget deficit, is unforgiveable.Unmanage... and unbelieveable! Whats more unbelieveable is he has only been in office for a little over 30 days and he is not done spending yet, he has almost a full 4 years left to spend.

You hear about lottery winners just blowing millions of dollars until they loose all their winnings, well, This administation is acting like they won the lottery, and they won't be happy until they have wasted every dime, plus they are borrowing from other country's and blowing their money as well. Leaving the american people holding the bag.

FDIC poised to fatten fees. The FDIC is expected to more than double the fees it charges banks in an effort to refill the coffers of its deposit insurance fund. The move will protect consumers by bulking up the FDIC's reserves in the event of bank failures, but some government officials worry already-fragile banks won't be able to shoulder the extra costs and have urged the FDIC to explore other ways to replenish the fund. As of the end of Q4, the FDIC had "$18.8B "in its deposit-insurance fund to "protect around $4.8T" in insured deposits. Fourteen banks have already failed in 2009, bringing the total to 35 since July, while 252 banks were on the government's 'problem list' at the end of Q4 vs. 171 in Q3
