Big Money BullS%#t
Well, the stock market has shed almost 1000 points over the previous 3 days. Wow, that's great news. Actually, it almost makes me sick to think about how much I've lost out of my 401K. But, they always say, don't worry about it until you sell, and hey, I've got 18 more years before I have to retire. And, they also say you shouldn't look at how much it actually went down or it will really make you depressed. But, at the same time, it's hard not to look, and hard not to worry about you much you've lost over the previous couple of days, even if you don't retire for 18 more years. It all stems from the big money movers all Wall street who have either gone bankrupt over the previous 6 months, have been bought out for pennyies on the dollar, or have been bailed out by the feds. I think we've spent over 200 billion on these buyouts, while the CEOs and board members make hundreds of millions of dollars. It's all bullsh%#t if you ask me. I'm just a regular guy trying to support my family, but also save a little for the next rainy day, but at the same time, still have money to spend of some of the fun things in life so it's not so hum drum. We honestly live paycheck to paycheck sometimes. And yet, when I hear that the government just spent 80 billion to buy out the next big corporation who has continually stuck it to the little guy, it makes me angry. It all just sucks. And, to make matters worse, when our political candidates attend $30000 per plate luncheons and make millions in one sitting, I have to question the ethics of our possible leaders, again, especially when little guys like me struggle every day just to keep our heads afloat. It's no wonder I'm so turned off by big business and politics. It's all BS!
