The headlines blare out to the world....

STOCK MARKET BREAKS ALL RECORDS ... .SOARS TO ALL TIME HIGH.

What did you and every person who has invested in stocks do upon reading such a headline? You ran to check your portfolio.. to see what your investment profits were.

Of course you did.. and why not?

After all ... you invested for one reason and one reason only ... to make money.

But..... should you make that much money?

Isn't there something unAmerican about one person making that much money?

After all.. with all the homeless in America .. don't you think you should explain how you should have such high gains while others have nothing?

You say it's a cyclical thing.. that this only balances the times you have not made as much ... that the earnings need to be put in perspective by looking at the whole picture?

You say this is nothing different than other places people make money .. like entrepreneurs...... that it is all in line with what others make?

Why are you resisting investing in the illegals here who need your financial help? After all.. they desperately need it... more than you. You resist that.

Why? You say you give plenty to charities already?

You really believe your profits are yours and yours alone to keep? Really? What a selfish greedy attitude you have.

Well... that can all be fixed very easily.

Taxes.

You must have those profits taxed. They are much too high.

You don't agree with that?

Tough.

Watch who you vote for... people. It is our freedom.... our very way of life at stake.

The "silent majority" raises its head now and then .... letting "them" know it is still very much alive.... and every true American knows this is the greatest country on earth.. and will stand tall against every foe to make sure it stays that way.
