108. Do Democrats really get it?
I would like to point out first, that the Republican Mantra has always been privatizing social security. Investing in the Stock Market is a Gamble, always has been, and some people lost everything in 1929. This is why I never invest in the Stock Market and why I have opposed privatizing Social Security. What is happening right now, is their plans have failed miserably. They are scrambling to get money to help keep it propped up so it doesn't fall. Another Mantra they have is Ownership Society, which is another way of saying your on your own. They don't like Social Security and Welfare becuase it helps people not Corporations. If your a Democrat that has invested in the Stock Market you should be ashamed of yourself. I know a lot of you have. You have been proping up the only thing that backs all their Mantras. Without it they have nothing. I for one, aggresively oppose helping out the Stock Market. I don't have any pity what so ever for Gamblers. You loose your money too bad. I however, do have pity for Corporations that I am working for, provided that they have listened to at least some of my suggestions. If they have not listened at all, well, then why should I have pitty for them? I have worked for many Companies that I warned them about what they were doing. They are no longer in business. Same goes for any neighbor that doesn't seem to get it. If it's a neighbor that him or his wife has gone through some medical problems or have lost a job but are aggresively looking for another and have taken that minimun wage job while looking for something better then YES I do have pity for them and would like to help. That is Democrat!
