New welfare food stamps unemployment compensation
social security, medicare, supplemental social security, workmans comp naw the workers dont get a fucking thing.
what caused the tech bubble.
yuppies pouring dollars into their 401k by the armload created a easing of credit so firms that didnt have an idea could sell to idiot money brokers and a company that had no way of seeing a profit was worth bajillions.
that bubble burst so the same dribbling yuppies loaded their money into realestate because unlike stocks realestate doesnt go down. Why wait till Im old to enjoy retirement, I will borrow on my equity.
Now they are underwater and unemployed so that monthly jam of 401k money into the market isnt as bountiful as before so next bubble will be delayed until after citybank and boa are dismantled.

New Eh?
Drook is talking about the rich gaming the system to increase their wealth. SS, FS, etc., aren't wealth.

Gates and Buffett and Helmsely wouldn't have their billions without the system that permits them to accumulate those vast holdings.

Whatchotalkinabout?

Cheers,
Scott.
