Thanks!!!
Wall just take all my 401 don't play the cat and mouse game. Rich people like to see the poor with out. It's all a game to make the rich more rich. Give each of us poor people some of the money that we have to pay tax on for the rich. Bush do it before you leave office.
P/S I have worked 46 years of my life for what ??

I certainly will not ever in my lifetime invest in stocks, annuities, etc., in the rest of my lifetime. It is bad enough that interest rates were so low and kept low on purpose by the institutions and govenment but now even the money at no interest at all is in danger. Better to put it in a passbook account in increments that will be insured by the FDIC and just let it sit there till I am dead. Also plan to keep all realestate as there is no safe place for the money after it is sold.

Consider that baby boomers are going to be SELLING into the stock market for a long time to come. Ten percent returns on the whole market? Probably not over say the next 30 years on average.

What hppened to the days when Utilities. Banks,Insurance and other institutions were supervised and regulated by government?
This overlapping of commercil instutions into areas of speculation, have damaged the economy and working peoples income.
Government should excercise control to assure proper administration of these instutions.
