I already answered.

Your turn.

No you did not.

I will however answer yours.

I will admit I lost money in the market during the meltdown, lot's of money.

That was my choice, I invested it.

Markets go up and down all the time and it is up to the investor to know when the time is right.

I won't blame anyone but myself.

You didn't answer. Do you like giving your money away to losers? Sure fine and dandy you lost on your own but do you like having to give even more of your money away to bail out losers?

I supported the bailouts.

See, that's how you answer questions.

The is a big difference between excuse and reasons. You never did fully answer my questions when I answered yours.

Do you ENJOY giving your money away to losers? Why do they need your money if so successful?

Is there now?

you cite your family as the reason you won't move into a system you find better yet my Mom and Dad were willing to make that sacrafice for a better life.

It's an excuse, a reason for procrastination.

It's gutless, the kind of reasoning that keeps kin from leaving the basement.

Like I said, I supported the bailouts.

I think that answers both questions.

Not sure what you are looking for.

If my family were in Botswana I'd be in Botswana.

You enjoyed it? What was enjoyable about it?

How does being supportive of losers make their system a success and why do they need your money if successful?

Quid pro Quo....

How is China communist when they use the free market system?

No no no. I already answered honestly. I'm waiting for your honesty.

So people, why is our world so obsessed with the need for Money?

why have we as a Society over the passed Millenium or so always had to have Money run the world?
Money - is only resource that gives opportunity for us to do in our life what we really want to do. It is only resources – not more. But not less.

So.. it isn’t necessary to do a fetish from money and from size of our income. What is really important – is our Goal, goal of our life, what we really want and need to do. Money only help us to do this.

(for my opinion)

The Chinese Govt controls the economy of China like all Communist nations do. If businesmen pull the kind of **** Wall Street does it is off to some heavy forced labour and you'll never step foot in a business again or if you go into bizarre levels of debt with other people's money you have to pay them back and you won't get a Yuan from the party to buy a bowl of rice. That's what a true socialist bail out looks like.

Now explain why unregulated capitalism needs your money every ten years if it is the cat's ass?

Not so fast.

You think China is communist?

Then explain the free market system they have there, unless of course you deny it.

If there is no difference why does Cuba and North Korea not enjoy the same prosperity and growth China does?

I've been to China, trust me, capitalism alive a well there.

Been to Cuba as well, doctors make more driving tourist buses than they do practicing medicine.

Every ten years?

Don't recall a bailout of this magnitude in any history books.

Recessions are normal, it isn't perfect, but it seems to be the best we have right now.

It is also good enough to keep you employed and wealthy.
