Unsurprisingly, you continue to miss the point entirely. I don't care what you do with your money. I'm telling you that it is shameful for an American citizen to plan for economic trouble while not being an outspoken opponent of the economic system.
You are currently using the US economy to make your income. At the same time, you are making plans to survive a US recession/depression. You are completely shirking your responsibility ( as a US citizen ) to warn your fellow citizens about why it is 'not making sense' for you to invest in the US economy currently. Not only that: you attack me for making posts on the internet that tell people the truth about the economy- and don't tell me some lie about it not being the truth, because you are making plans for my truth.
You are like a person in a building who watches oily rags and gas cans and stacks of newspapers pile up in the corners and under the stairs. Instead of telling people why the threat of a big fire is increasing, you just quietly plan to save yourself from the fire. Those oily rags and gas cans didn't get there on their own. They were put there by people. People much like you apparently- people who are only looking out for their own interests.
If you are planning for economic trouble and not working to expose the villains who will bring the economic trouble, then you are just a selfish jerk who worries only about his own money and doesn't care about the people who have been conned by this bullshit economy.
You, yaledelay, do not want to give people good information. You want people to remain blissfully ignorant about the oily rags and the gas cans. You want them to be caught off-guard, because faith in the US economy is what allows you to keep on making money at your job. If the truth scares people, you won't tell the truth. If peer pressure and political correctness tell you to keep your mouth shut, you keep your mouth shut. It would be bad for your business if too many people got an honest look at this economy, so you won't give it to them. Your personal business is your only concern, that and your personal plan to save your own economic skin.
What I'm telling you goes for anyone else here who works in the financial services industries and isn't speaking the truth about the who, why and how of this economy. They're all trying to keep people stupid, which means that they're on the side of the gangsters and the predators.
This economy will not be brought down by the 2% who control it. This economy will be brought down by the tens of millions who lied for the 2%.
As always Rick you have completely missed the point, some people are out helping create jobs, helping the American workforce, my sales keep people eating, I would think that is important to those people. You can talk about it, while I do something about it, as Rick we can all see you love to spout off, but your words mean nothing without action. So go nuts here, as I am sure the 5 people who read your posts we have the buying power to save the American economy...

I wasn't planning for the US economic downturn, I was planning for mine, I work in sales on straight commision and plan to start my own business someday (wow giving more Americans jobs, I must really hate Americans Huh?) you never know in my business when things will go downhill, I have been planning to own a business for over 13 years, well before I heard of most of the people here...
So keep writing Rick, it sure seems to be helping...
