My retirement is tanking.  l am worried.  Make it make sense.

Did you whine and cry in 2022 when the market went down almost the whole year? 

Make that make sense.

What really gets me most is you fake liberals being concerned with what has to be the epitome of capitalism, an ideology which has made this country great for centuries. Everything y’all possess is the result of capitalism. Liberalism is a mindset that hates capitalists (billionaires) but overlook it if it puts money in your stinking pockets.

That’s a bunch of bunk. Liberals believe in capitalism. Just not unfettered capitalism. Unfettered capitalism is as bad as communism. It allows all the money to go to the top and everyone else has to scramble. We’re getting close, and Trump is going to push over the edge if left unchecked. He doesn’t care about one of you MAGAs other than your vote.

It was down 19% for the year in 2022. Right now we’re working on 10% In the first quarter with a president saying he won’t rule out a recession. If you’re not worried, you’ve overdosed on the kool aid.

And by the way, record highs were reached in 2024. Trump’s megalomania won’t get us back, but for the grace of God.

A socialist is the opposite of a capitalist, so where is the bunk?

Not all liberals believe in capitalism, because "fettered capitalism" sounds a like like a dictatorship.

Trump can do nothing but EO's without congress. The presidents checks are The House, The Senate and the Supreme Court. EO's can be challenged just like we are seeing in some cases. We survived 4 years of Biden's name and no telling who was running the country and holding the signature stamp on everything Biden was supposed to sign.  If we survived that, we will survive trump trying to MAGA. 

Also......I'm far from rich.......but I'm not mad at anyone who makes money......and as far as I'm concerned, I don't care how much they make.......Elon's billions didn't take a dime from me,,,,,,,

Sorry Hippy, that “over the edge” quote is not mine. 
 

I agree with your rich people comment.

Agree, doesn’t make sense to me, I guess some folks are unhappy with their station in life and rather than change it, choose to blame someone else.

democrats have mastered the art of fanning those flames.
