About half of Americans own stock, for the record. So let's drop the 1% nonsense on that issue.

Nonsense.  Less than 1% own any significant amount.  Your claim is absurd on its face - like saying 'poverty isn't a problem, because I know for a fact that poor people have dollar bills in their pockets'.
Not only this, but most of the peasants who own one month's wages in a 401(k) (on which they are supposed to retire?) are older, and became employed back when jobs at least pretended to offer "retirement plans." What's the average age of Atlas Forum investors?

Torie is 62, Jachind is 41, and I'm 20. Are we missing anyone?

That rich kid, what's his name, Dukie.
Don't forget the smug Swede and bereft Beet.

That's right!  The insufferable Gustaf and the nonentity Beet.

We've a whole raft of guillotine worthies.

Didn't you say you owned motorcycles in another thread? Another hypocritical capitalist owner living off your wealth. I've just got the answer:


Motorcycles are toys, not investments. Much like cars, they cost money to maintain and depreciate quickly as they age. I also doubt opebo would make the effort to own more than one.

Just because I have demonstrated that you were wrong about things doesn't make me anymore smug than reality.

In the several years that I have been a member of this forum, you have done no such thing. Your feeble strategy of shrill name calling has demonstrated nothing other than your supremely deficient character. The Forum would be a far better place without your presence, and you are the only active member for whom this is true.
