Price of oil is dropping like a rock.

Any hedge fund managers or big bankers jumping out the windows yet?

Oh, it's the lifeblood of the economy? I don't give a shit. I just want people I hate to do poorly. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1315745)

2. Capitalistas bailing out of windows? Horrible!

Think of the damage that could be wrought upon the cars down below!

DUmmies: Cutting off their nose to spite their face, then asking the government to pay for a nose job since 2001.

Post by: NHSparky on June 17, 2011, 12:22:48 PM: safe--no, because 1--a number of them sell short, 2--when business costs go down, the stocks they invest in typically improve, 3--more people go to work and have 401(k) contributions, meaning they also buy stock.

I wonder if the DUmmies realize over 50 percent of Americans own stocks in one fashion or another?

Post by: Rebel on June 17, 2011, 12:55:47 PM: How does someone rich affect a poor person? Rush brought this up today and I'd love to hear one of those DUmpmonkies make a cogent argument as why.

Jealousy is how it affects them.

Irony--they haz it. They haz lots and lots of it.

Post by: Karin on June 17, 2011, 01:53:01 PM: I read their thread about Pelosi. It was an awkward, uncomfortable atmosphere. They seemed on edge, ready to snap at the slightest. One did, "How dare you attack a progressive!?" Then they let the whole thing slip quietly to the bottom of the page, never to be seen again.

It was all over the other internets, though.

...or the, IIRC, Tuna industry in Samoa, which she's heavily invested in, getting a waiver for the minimum wage due to her chicanery.
