You should think positive.

It's possible that the B of A derivative bet could payoff.

God knows they need the financial windfall.


----------------
You are jumping to the worst case scenario.

What are the chances of that given their investors openly stated that they were worried


They probably won't all fail, but even a 10% failure would mean $7.5 trillion...

A 10% gain???

This could be the answer to their prayers.

We will have to wait and see.

Hey, somebody just yesterday accused the Tea Party of being "promoted" by Verizon. I'm upset. I thought Verizon loved only Tea Party


I guess only the CEOs of Verizon love Tea Party and Verizon union members love OWS, oh the irony.

Wait - did you just un-ironically post a Bill O'Reilly segment to make a point? I'll be damned, you just did.

WHERE IS THE IGNORE BUTTON AGAIN

You see, what hypocrisy to want to end corporate welfare but still want more individual welfare.

Yes, and a 10% gain is totally realistic given the state of the world's economy...especially given that most of those derivatives are investments in Europe. Read up on Europe's economy and you'll realize why you should be worried.

Make the existing ones more efficient is what's needed. The problem is, thanks to corporate infiltration of the government, the cost of a good education increased by a TON...ensuring that either people stay uneducated (they're fine with that), or start their lives with a massive amount of debt. And it's gotten worse and worse throughout the years. That's just one example.

And what's your solution? Continue corporate welfare (which is your goal if you don't support OWS), and just cut social welfare and aid? # those people dying in the streets, or not able to afford an education (which drives the economy btw...look at India), let's give BP another tax rebate

No, I am not for continuing corporate welfare. But what liberals are calling corporate welfare is just a tax base. Corporations already pay a higher progressive tax, and many poor pay zero taxes. So, already the rich are paying for programs to help the poor. Obama and his socialist friends want class warfare and want to raise taxes on corporations which means that the poor will pay even more for product.
In fact, if Democrats were really against corporate welfare, they would not have been for the auto baillouts, or bank baillouts, now would they?

You might wanna look up how much taxes Exxon paid over the past 5 years if you truly believe the poor are ripping off the country


Facts hurt sometimes, no?

The Herman Cain 9-9-9 plan is the best one out there.

General Electric could layoff 90% of their tax attorneys.

He is still beating the others in the polling data.

The American people can understand it.

Are you serious??? According to his plan 84% (!!!) would end up paying more taxes, 15.5% would get slight reductions, and only the top 0.5% (not even the top 1%) would end up paying significantly less.

And that's the "best plan" according to you. I take it you're in the top 0.5%, because otherwise you should really hate his plan


By the way, funny to see you on the Cain train now that you kinda saw the light and realized Palin's only going where the money is...which means she won't run for president, but instead work her "magic" as a cheerleader

You're missing the big picture.
The American people can actually understand the Herman Cain 9-9-9 plan.
That means they can hold the politicians accountable.
-----------
It is usually a progressive trick to find some how some way to try to explain things to you
in a way that you can't even understand it.


Want a brand new tax system? - Keep it simple -

-----------
BTW, i think the Cain Train could ask Gov. Sarah Palin to be the Vice President.
