Election day-President of the United States! ( Archived) (30)

I don't vote. The politicians are all in love with the oil compnanies, the pharmaceutical companies, the insurance companies, the lobbyists, etc. They're a bunch of crooks. The politcians of the U.S. have careers as politicians. They stopped being servants of the public some years ago.

Kick the bums out!

Thats the sweet part of our economy... when it does eventually crash......All of those with the big bucks and huge lines of credit are the ones that will suffer the most, the small man that has nothing to loose will get thru pretty well!

The meek will inherit the earth!

because that's all they can afford....

You werent listening,
no.. not because thats all they can afford.
The people at the top fall further!
But those of us already grounded won't be hurt nearly as much by a stock market crash..

For a small example... if it crashes.. The man with the $300,000 home on credit will loose everything.
But the wise man that has bought a cheaper home and paid cash for it.. without credit, wont loose everything.

Such as all of the people now that are loosing their homes.

I was listening, but to tell you the truth, I would rather drive a Porsche for 3 years and have it repoed than drive a clunker for life...at least it gives you a bit of a break....

Sorry.. was a bad choice of emoticon for that statement!

Three years of driving an overrated car to be walking the rest of your life?

no, you didn't listen to me...I'd go back to driving the clunker afterwards...

Oh. Got it. I suspect this is not the first time I have not listened...

I know the people that want it all, and live on the edge of a credit card are not going to listen to any kind of logic. Thats why when they loose their job, or an injury where they can no longer work.. they loose it all.
Then wine when they loose it all, and want everyone elses tax $$$$ to bail them out.

But when the time comes that the Government stops bailing them out, they are still the ones that will suffer the most.
But the arogant will just refuse to see it till it is too late.

This will be the time you realize that material goods are not the most important things in life.

Amen to that. Particularly in my neck of the woods...

Thats just it... If one is living on credit and has all of the fancy crap on credit,, when the market crashes.. you loose everything,, you wont be able to get the $$ to even buy a crap car.. do you enjoy the subways??


Thats ok,, All of those that think they have $$$$ will find out .
wearing blinders wont stop it from happening.

never had material goods to have them make any importance...I was just saying, I would like the luxury to have something that goes over 45 miles an hour and doesn't shake, just for a bit...that's all...

I know it sucks being poor and living a rough life,
but it sure as hell don't suck nearly as bad as having A house that was wotrh $300,000 when you bought it,,, then add $50,000 interest on it. you have approx $40,000 paid on it already,. and now it is only worth $160,000.. the interest payments go up so much that you can't make the payments, so you are going to have it taken,, so you loose your home plus the $40,000 you've already paid on it..
ok, then when the bank sales the house again for $160,000. that means... you have to still pay the bank the balance due on a house that you are no longer living in. that would be another $150,000 you have to pay. and you are homeless.

Thats great!! I am very happy in my fully paid for home!

Just pulling it back up for more voting :)

definately McCain!!!!
