True, but what I was talking about deals with the fact that at the time of
the Bush peaks, no one was poopooing the lack of any act, or trouble with
the overall market..

Hindsight is 20/20 Wayne, I am not employing it here and it is quite unfair
for you to attempt to employ it in that timeline.

Yeah yeah, if they knew then what they know now.... But irrelevant to the
point I was making..

But to hear you talk, everytime the market does good must mean that a bust
is just around the corner.. So with the boast made about the DOW poking
above 11K, we better watch out..

I wasnt rebutting every single thing you said, only that which was part of
the original point that I was making, that rah-rah'ing about how well Wall
Street is doing, all depends on which party is in power.

 WC> You absolutely ASTOUND me.

I cannot abide by a mindset that seeks to punish those that have succeeded
because the idiots on the left feel guilty that others cannot succeed.
Wealth re-distribution is evil Wayne, slippery slope... I do not want a tan
uniform and my own govt issued rice paddy.

If there are no incentives to achieve success, then there can never be
success. Taxing the holy fuck out of them, certainly is a incentive
destroyer..

You talk affectionately (elsewhere) about Gateway Computers, forgetting for
the moment that they are now owned by Acer and that manufacturing is being
done overseas and their profits now go there... Lets look at them when they
were still US based.. Do you think they (its founder) entered into business
for humanitarian reasons or to make that thing liberals hate, --PROFIT-- ??
Pick any business, headed by any individual well known, what would things
been like if you liberal types had been allowed to punish them they way you
think they should be punished now?

Proportionally less, heh, seems to be that they write bigger checks to the
IRS than I ever will.

 WC> I'll NEVER as long as I live understand that mind set.

Just as there are alot of things you have done, that normal people cant understand..
