Isn't that the libertarian way? "I got mine!" octavarium, Of course it is! Now, am I a "Capitalist" , "Libertarian", "Socialist", "Communist"? I have my Birth Certificate. I know full well I'm and American Citizen. I invest in myself, by being self-employed. I employ others in my business. I'm a property owner, and pay all my taxes. I guess I'm just not worthy of being a TRUE AMERICAN, because I did not succeed the way Sniper, Job, CP/ Fighting Irish, Masked Man, believe I should. After all, they were truly the one's that believe in Ayn Rand's philosophy. Sniper an employee at a manufacturing plant, "Job" a member of "A FIRM", FI/cp, an employee of a wholesale distributor, Masked Man, a former? employee of Caterpillar,and recent business owner. I really don't see any one in the above list that has "Gone Galt" 1. Naw, they receive their Social Security and Medicare benefits and what "The Firm" kick into their retirement plan, (JOB), 2. They invest in the COMPANY 401k plan, and hope to receive their Social Security, Medicare, when they reach retirement age, (SNIPER), 3. Have no backup plan other than Social Security and Medicare when they reach retirement, (CP/Fighting Irish), 4) Masked Man, Inherited about 10 acres south of Sreator about $100,000, worked/works at Caterpillar, has a Corporate pension, has enjoyed Cat's health care plan, will be eligible for Social Security, and Medicare, upon retirement. Yep, true independent men! g Count Greek, you really should write for the Onion, you have the talent.

I know I couldn't be a host on Fox "news" in front of the cameras and keep a straight face without laughing while reading the teleprompters. Now, back on topic. In a "Capitalistic" world, there is no such thing as "NO INVESTOR LEFT BEHIND"! I guess you're not really that "Tip of the Spear" cammy dress fearless leader you pretended to be either. Hey, what time do you have to show up to work does your "Nanny Corporation" DEMAND YOU to report on Monday? New motto for that "Tea Bagger Flag", "GO GALT, OR SHUT UP!" g

I bet there isn't a single other SO poster who had the GOVERNMENT bail out his "Investment" How about it SO? Any of you own BOA, CITIBANK, GM, etc. when the Gvt. determined they were "too big to fail"? I wonder if I could get the Government to replace my Chickens when they die like they did with your BOA stock? Hmmmm?

I wonder if I could get the Government to replace my Chickens when they die like they did with your BOA stock? Hmmmm? Sniper, Wound a little tight, huh? Let me begin with you last question. No, the probably is low to zero that the Government would have cared at all if your chickens died. If it makes you feel better though, they would not have helped "dog", Jimb, Masked Man, me, or anyone on Main Street had our businesses failed. No, I'm not a 1%'er. Somehow I bet there are fellow posters on the SO that do have investments in equities. You claim your "Nanny Corporation" PERMITS you to invest in any VANGUARD FUND you wish. You did make certain not one those funds invested in BAC (stock symbol) for Bank of America, correct? I'm not ashamed I invested in America. I'm not ashamed I've seen my investments grow. That is Capitalism at its finest. I took my risk and have prospered. Oh, if you recall I did not like the "too big to fail" mentality, and we debated the importance of "better regulation", so this would not happen in the future. You were "agin' it", all government regulation. You were the "Galt Guy". Sniper, I really believe "Job" has more invested in "Stocks and Bonds" than I do. Do you really think he has someone feeding his "chickens" in his neighborhood while he's in Florida? Gleefully know it was a bad day in the market for me today. Looks like a buying opportunity. g

I only bought BAC "stock" or "equities" in the Company, in December of 2008. You knew that of course! Yep! Our economy is improving, and you just hate it, because you expected our Government to fail. It didn't happen and there will be another Presidential Election just the U.S. Constitution requires. But then you still have your gold in your bunker, and all those chickens. g

The Greek said: "Sniper, I really believe "Job" has more invested in "Stocks and Bonds" than I do." A safe guess by the Greek. I wouldn't be surprised if that Job guy paid more in taxes the last year he worked than Greek will "make" this year.

Whether you pay more, less, or the same in taxes than I "make" this year, may make you feel all "macho", doesn't mean a rat's a$$ to me. Obviously, the only measure of a "man" is how much wealth he can accrue. g

Yea, really CAPITALIST of ya........

You know the difference though, is that "Job" guy hasn't come on here pretending to be a "Capitalist" while crowing about his "Wise" ( Latina? ) investment in BAC while having the AMERICAN TAXPAYER keep him from losing it all. Funny, I am pretty sure that "Job" guy would lick his wounds and go back to make more elsewhere. There's the difference between a Cattle owner and a Hat owner.

Sniper, You either don't like Capitalism, or have no clue how it works do you? Let me keep it simple for you. You can invest in yourself, sell your expertise to a "Nanny Corporation", be a hireling to a "Firm". You may also invest in any way you wish in either chickens, gold, silver, swamp land in Florida, or any stock or bonds you select. I understand your frustration in how we taxpayers on Main Street had to bail out Wall Street. I really don't care what that "Job Guy" does. He would probably have been paid defending Bernie Madoff. The difference "Cattle owners invest in their cattle and deserve to wear the Hat", "Wannabe" Cattle owners , bought the hat, and I don't need their advice. Cluck, cluck, cluck. g

Sniper,
Oh, and to set the record straight I would love to be a 1%'er!
But I think it should be done, "the old fashioned way", if I earn it!
