But seeing as we wanna be picky......I never said "all the greedy rich". You said that not me. So maybe I understand a little bit of the diversity thing you speak of??

We just see things differently. You like total gubment control, unions to take care of you, green energy even if it cost 10 times more, healthcare provided by gubment and no business making decisions without checking with Obama first. I just don't like to live that way. I guess the great news is the last few years have been the best times of your life!!! I'm happy for you.

DJD I really just don't see all of this all or nothing mind set. No government vs complete government control. Yes there is a lot of waste in government and not all programs work as they should but there are also lots and I may say a majority of government functions that make life in the USA safe, secure and prosperous. I just don't see that government involvement means oppression.

I am trying to keep Dems vs Repubs, Gov vs busis out of this. Business makes mistakes every day, so does govenment. Government is scrutinized over misteps to protect taxpayers. So when business makes bad decisons why not scrutinize them for the protection of shareholds, employees, customers and others?

Wallstreet made some very bad mistakes leading up to 2008. Wreckless stupid risks were taken with the motivation of greed. Providian insurance began as Capitol Holding and was a company that prospered for 100 years and survived the great depression. A financially sound company that was taken to bankruptcy in two short years over risky decisons. They were profitable in 2000,2001,2002. But someone thought that solid profits were not enough, so they took giant risks with stockholders money and lost about all.

So my advise in these posts is to pay off your creditcards and your debt as much as you can. Buy what you can afford and reserve credit for those purchases that require financing. House, car, new boat may require a loan not running credt card debt up on takeout Pizza. Heck even McDonalds takes mastercard these days.

I think a lot of people are seeing this and this is one of the reasons credit card debt is declining. The are buying the new TV,Ipad when they can afford them and not putting everything on the ole plastic.
