meen that picture is bullshit you are a fool

Sounds like someone can't handle the truth. Kiss

The truth as in political slogans? I mean seriously what the hell do "punishes success" or "rewards laziness" mean? Its just something people say to get you riled up like "They are anti-*insert your country*!".

"Redistribution of wealth"... I do not see a problem if its necessary besides its not like it does not happen in a capitalist society. Inheritance being a key flaw in "To each according to his abilities" and "Rewards success"... or a wealthy father/mother. Poking holes is so fun :3

"Collective ownership"... Corporations, democracy and countries are all Collective ownerships. Dont see you complain about that.

"Large welfare systems"... Or small ones depending on how much your country sucks to live in. You know human rights is a need that should be filled regardless of the cost. If its too expensive for you then perhaps you are doing something else wrong.

"Large invasive government" Because socialism is all about looking in your mailbox? Really grow up.

You may actually want to educate yourself about what socialism and capitalism actually means because I do not think it means what you think it means if that makes any sense to you. Feel free to attack Socialism all you like since its not like its a perfect system but right now you are just uninformed and it makes me sad.

Sorry, Im not sure I understand what you're saying.

To be clear, I still believe things are in a very very big mess. I reject this situation above.

I didn't assume knowing anybody? Infact, I posted because I wanted to see if anybody held the same views.

I believe we could be , as Peter Schiff says, in the "eye of the storm". Things are not getting better in the economy, it seems to be the opposite. It's just a matter of time before people realize.

Having said that, the disclaimer above sort of says that I am not a professional economist, I do not spend hours looking at all the different facts and statistics. I am not qualified in economics and I have not experience working at a hedge fund or government department, although I do follow the news closely. I have worked in investment banking for a while as an investment analyst, but I currently do not work as a market professional. Therefore I would be classed as an amateur speculator. Despite this, I believe that sometimes one can just use intuition and boldness to be right when other people are wrong. Technical analysis isn't everything. Sometimes the facts really are obvious. I believe now is one of those situations..

In every instance there are winners and losers. If America falls then someone else will raise and take its place just like when France,England and Germany fell America took their place. It is hardly unique for these events to happen and we are always taken by surprise for some reason.

Anyway I have to say there is still a few key events that has to occur before USA will fall from its throne. One would be the enormous economic advantage the dollar enjoys being the currency used in buying oil and China stopping giving loans to the American government because it fears they wont be paid back. There is allot of safety nets protecting USA right now which is why they can be this careless without much worry. Since im an outsider who will not be affected by any potential fallout this might cause I will be watching with popcorn at the ready. Have fun and good luck with your country.
