But you got greedy and trusted someone to make you more but they failed and lost your money didn't they? Did they lose it honestly or in ways that were shady and deceptive?
Occupy Wall Street Fail

I do hear what you are saying. But voluntary? I think not. Nobody is going to volunteer to give up a great portion of their wealth. I doubt multi-millionaires, (like many of the Occupy Wall St. supporters are) are going to give up their wealth or any portion of their wealth that will effect their life style. That includes liberal /progressives.
From what I hear from Occupy Wall St. is much more than voluntary adherence. There are so many ways to give up your earnings on a volunteer basis. Why have they not done so already?
More metal midgets hollering, swearing, drooling and painting themselves in a bad light.
As Stossel told Bill O’Reilly, he thought he would agree with the protesters on some things being that he is not thrilled with how some big banks have been treated. However, he was never able to get a word in during the discussion with the angry mob who only wanted to shout him down.
Chanting “Shame on you,” and bellowing accusations of corruption and lies at Fox News, the footage shows that protesters would not respond to Stossell’s request for examples to back their wild claims.
“How am I corrupt,” asked Stossel to one foul-mouthed, young occupier.
“Your whole station is corrupt,” answered the protester.
Stossel was then only able to get off “how” before the mob drowned out the individual protester’s opinion that Stossel was a “puppet.”

I was trying to maximize my return. I do not believe they tried to lose money as it would certainly discourage other investors from investing their money with them.
So you are suggesting I get mad and sit in the companies head office and demand them to restore my money? Or perhaps redistribute it to those who haven't worked a day in their life?
Well there is a bit of satire in what I posted. Karma as well. Theft is never reasonable. But you must admit there is an underlying current of seizure of other people's earnings to distribute to people who have less.
I think if we're to look at this pragmatically, we start with the taxes on the rich and corps and go from there.
If you want a stronger cut, then we begin to make assessments on what constitutes a fair profit - but that is a process that requires a lot of brainstorming and analysis. That could take time.
You have to look at it on a macroscopic level.
The economy requires consumers to sustain itself. If consumers are gone and resources go to waste, then the economy goes to s hit. So, at some point, any sustainable society needs a redistribution of wealth or it ends up as muck for all of us.
What is there to do? Like I said **** happens. I have stayed the course knowing that only fools panick and sell into a Bear market. The Stock Market is like Vegas, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
That is a very TALL order Floss. Some of it I liked, in particular many execs still getting huge bonuses while receiving bail out money.
But being "illegally foreclosed" on? If you cannot pay your mortgage then you cannot afford to live in a house like that.
Putting a huge debt on post graduates for education which is their right? Since when is a college education a right? Going to college is a choice. There are plenty of options after high school. The trades, mechanics, the military, etc. It is the students who chose to go to college and to the college of their choosing. Wall St didn't force them to take out massive loans. Why should these loans simply be forgiven? Will I get retro forgiveness on mine?
Perhaps banks should only give student loans to only those with the means to pay? How do you think that would work out? Can you imagine the S***Storm that would create? What would be the point of loaning money if you're not going to get it back?
Although my funds are inside RRSPs and are not taxed NOW, they will be taxed when I retire and access this money. Certainly taxing personal profit takes away the insentive to generate profit. It also discourages any risk if you take away the promise of profit. Why would I risk my investment to market 'whims' if I either lose money or have my profits taxed away?
It's not as simple as the hippies make it out to be.
Biting a pillow?
You plays the market, you takes your chances.
"Biting the pillow" means taking up the ass without lube. So there was no fraud in the rating of investments? Everything is/was above table?
None? Ever heard of Sandard & Poor's?

You may have mistaken me for a Wall Street investor. I have some RRSP Mutual Funds. I chose the ones I did based upon their past performance at the time of investment.
