do you mean investing? Investing money in businesses gives it money to grow and hire more people creating jobs. Choosing businesses that show potential takes skill and prevents resources from being wasted on businesses that are more likely to fail. What's wrong with people marketing their skill to people that have the resources to use it?

Those Tea Party meetings were in rented halls paid for by David Koch via Dick Armey.
I'm told by folks who were on the bridge that the NYCPd directed them to the bridge. They were on a pedestrian bridge and were directed by cops to go on the vehicle bridge. Then they were arrested.

Sorry but FEMA is out of control............Tea-GOP Threatens Another Government Shutdown | One Utah..

Last week, Senate Democrats along with 10 Republicans, passed a bill to re-up FEMA’s disaster relief account by nearly $7 billion, with no offsetting budget cuts. Reid is insisting that this legislation be included in a broader House package to fund the rest of the government. But Republican leaders say Reid’s plan is DOA in the House.

This is why he and Pelosi make a great team for the Dem's they love to hide what's in a bill or add more to it. Those are the morons.....now who's begging to fund the government.

That would be awesome! Give the banksters a taste of their own medicine! Are you really that much of a sheeple to think that the Wall Street Terrorist Banksters operate 'within the law'????

For this pay they produce nothing, and it is all done by gambling your's and other people's money...

Is that fair?
exactly, they create and build nothing. They manipulate and decimate thried world currencies.

All you have to do to see that is drive through most of middle America. Its a sprawl of dead mall and big box stores. Maybe a few hopitals. Oh and the Post Office, lol.

As an investor who allows others to "manipulate" the money that I choose to give them, I've built up quite a healthy nest egg that should in turn allow my wife and I to live as we see fit and to pass any left-over assets on to my heirs.

Who could possibly have a problem with that?

I have no problem with that...My problem is that I feel the money they keep for themselves is beyond excessive...They are greedy pigs.

It's called free will. Their lifestyle is not your choice to make.
