Time for a Labor Movement NOW!
We all labor - I doubt anyone here is part of the "Investor Class"
Even if you think you are a "day trader" you are not part of that class
Unless you could go 1, maybe 2 years investing, and take a loss, and not feel it, you are not part of that class
Time to start a real worker's movement
Some will laugh, they can go **** themselves
All together now: (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1876393)
HERE'S A LABOR MOVEMENT FOR YOU, TAVERNER: GET A ****ING JOB!!!

<<laughing.
The Taverner primitive can go plug himself.

That's a lot of bullshit talk from some idiot whose never put a dime in any type of savings. I know a lot of 'investors'--they have 401Ks, IRA's, and participate in DRIP programs. It's all relative since what I put in may be a lot of money TO ME. What amount hurts a lot for me versus a wealthy day trader is irrelevant. In most cases our goal is the same: to grow our resources and to generate wealth for ouselves and our families. He's talking some bs talk to try and make even modest investors feel like they are something they aren't which means he's desperate to have someone, anyone share his pathetic, leeching pov since I'm guessing he hasn't found many converts. What a pos he is. Hey taverner, I'm divorced with 3 kids(one of them special needs) and going to school, keep myself in shape AND have a full time job. Get your pathetic drug using ass back to work. And I don't need your version of 'labor'. I'll settle for making my way and hopefully someday supporting another spouse TOGETHER to make our way in this world in some semblance of what our dreams hope to look like. I don't want your version of security...I'll make my own.

H5 Jetty, you're on fire in that one!

Tavs is the classic example of where the labor unions went wrong in America. They once fulfilled an important need, reining in the abuses of ruthless bastards to whom the lives of their workers meant less than nothing. Wen the tide finally turned completely over a period starting 100 years ago and ending probably 50 years ago, they had a lot of money and political power without the original good cause still being a major issue. Then they became all about rights, seniority, tenure, ever-increasing benefits with no regard to the viability of their industries, and protecting themselves and their power - with nothing to do with any actual productive "Work."
Tavs is the archetype of that latter-day union mentality.

H5, jtyangel.
For most of the primitives, a labor movement is something that you do on the toilet. The gigantic primitive comes to mind, with his sloth-style plops.

Oh hardly, I assure you
:-).

Labor is now equated to getting a 'gubmint' check?
I don't even think Orwell came up with that.

The primitives should all get together and form an "Internet Political Site Posters" union so they can get better treatment from Skin's.

Well Taverner does say he's in I.T. - perhaps that's what he meant.

In Taverners case, I.T. stands for the Idiot Tent of the Big Democrat tent city.

Can't he get hired by the government, anyway? I thought Obama was giving away pensions to anyone with 4 hours' tenure. I wonder why the DU Unemployment Brigade can't find jobs from Odumbo. Surely we have a need for guitar strummers and programmers of dead computer languages?

Hi-5 back atcha, tanker. Unlike DU's assumptions, I too am versed on the purpose and reason for unions and their history. Their existence at first did serve noble purposes, although even in the beginning, there were assorted what would eventually be communists, thrown in. The continuation of unions in the current sense is nothing more then a desperate struggle to maintain power with a passing nod to safety and conditions issues that are well entrenched in our laws at this point. For all the big bad evil corporate talk, people like Taverner don't get(or don't want to get) that many unions are their own 'big bad corporations'.

I steer clear of his threads. He is the king of TMI! :lmao: *vomit*

Isn't he unemployed? I don't know how a union would help him. They're for workers.

H5! Anyone that saves and invests for their retirement are the investor class. That's the thing that always pisses me off about the cap gains tax. If you scrimp and save and invest outside of an IRA, 401k, etc, you get nailed trying to grow your wealth. Then you got the rockefellers, kerrys, etc, old money rich, who invest in tax exempt bonds, railing about raising the cap gains tax.
Hell CD's get taxed as ordinary income.
Meanwhile we got the so called working class that spends every penny they have on cell phones, steaks, etc, and expect people like me to fund their SS retirement just because I saved my money. That SS was taken from me, I had no choice, so why should it be taken away from me (means testing, it will happen) when I retire cause Bubba up the street didn't plan for his retirement.
Hell we ain't even talking about the moocher class yet.
Pisses me off.

Pisses me off.
It pisses me off even more that every dime coming out of a 401K is treated as regular income.
