Sir;...Did you ever work for anything you own??? If you did you may have found that it is no way to get rich, because the situation is just too easy to manipulate... You might work out...You look like the tiype... But what if, as soon as you got used to the treadmill some one kept increasing the speed... And it happened in places like the American Auto industry, so that everyone started to look at those old Auto Workers like a bunch of fat old capons that could be plucked and eaten at will... Everyone wanted their cut... The closer you got to a plant until you were right on top, the land prices flew... Whether you bought it off the shelf , or had it tailor made, if people saw auto worker, the price worked up to what no one could afford...The Auto workers had insurance, and no one else did, so they bought everybody's health care...The government saw those Auto worker paychecks like a gold mine they could tap and tap and tap...What is true of the Auto Workers is true all over... Some people produce, and many people live on the production, and everyone wants more for less until everything falls apart for nothing left to give... You don't know how many people they have taken out of those plants feet first because they never felt secure retiring, and felt better, if only less lonely, working themselves to death.... But how does it make you feel to know you were trading on the very values you were running down??? How does it make you feel to know the dividend you took, and the interest you "earned" was really earned by productive people, and that your treadmill took out of them??? I think the bankers should be propped up...The problem is short term... Just go kill another capon; but make sure you don't touch the golden goose...The problem is that the goose that lays the golden egg looks just like any one of those chicken Auto Workers all scared about their future ..Thanks...Sweeney
