I think advising people to invest in GLD and
SLV is way off base. These two ETF’S are paper
tigers and there is some hanky-panky going on
with them. I used to own both of them but after
doing due diligence, I dumped them both. That was
months ago and I’m still glad to be done with them
If an investor wants some insurance against the
doomed dollar, buy and hold REAL gold and silver.

Interesting that Clinton manages to disagree, while being ‘supportive’. Wish he had commented
on the medical ‘insurance’ with its compelling
five years, $250,000 fine.

I do not understand all this celbrity idolatry. Corporations and unions are government-created and mediated abstractions, and since 1913 our money is unconstitutional theft by private bankers. The Land of the Free has the world’s highest percentage of citizens in prison, and our per capita crime rates are 600 times what they were a hundred years ago. Our constitutions are dead ink, and our leaders perfectly reflect our complacence and ignorance.
I wish we’d quit bowing to golden calves and start thinking about who we are and how we’d like to live.
How’s this?:
1. Citizens can do whatever the heck they want to do as long as they don’t harm anybody else, or take what’s not theirs.
2. We’d have no more government than necessary to maintain #1.
3. We write this down in plain speech and call it law.
4. We invite others around the world to emulate our success, but otherwise leave them the heck alone.

To Luke SCHMICK –
WE guys voted in a president who got hit right between the eyes with 9/11. He handled it well. YOUR guys voted to go to war with the thugs overseas to protect America after that. (COST? Huge! But, necessary. War is never cheap.) Our military has done a good job. However, YOUR president is inexperienced, arrogant, unsupportive of the men and women who are fighting to save our great America. If Obama has his way, we will no longer be free to be Americans. Stop blaming the previous administration for spending. Obama is out of touch with reality and so are his left-wing cabinet members and czars. We are trillions of dollars in the red and no relief in sight. Never in American history has it been so bad.

So, If we give Corporate America some more tax breaks, is there ANY guarantees that this will somehow filter down to the AVERAGE American? OR will it filter UP AGAIN, to the Ceo’s and the BIG DOGS up top? God forbid, you put a CAP on how much these corporate Ceo’s and their “cronies” can give each other for salaries “and bonuses!!! THEN, just maybe, there would be some profit left over to allow for retirement plans and health care plans for the average employee again (but that of course depends on slaying the dragon that is currently called “health” care). I am all for Capitalism, just not “preditory capitalism”. How about encouraging small businesses, that employ locally, and spend locally, they might not be on the New York stock exchange, but when they have to look their employees in the face every day, a conscience might do wonders.

Serious lack of foresight (and insight) if you want to further increase the gap between the rich and the poor in America. Reduce tax on business by all means, but return to the 95% tax on those making more than 3 million a year, as in the good days of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Sir,

Why in the world would you believe President Clinton when at the same time he is endorsing this horrific health care bill?

Sincerely,

Your article, “Bill Clinton’s Thoughts On Obama’s Tax-and-Spend Policies” seems like nothing more than a political rant. I thought you guys at Oxford Club were staying out of politics!!??? Just tell me how to money in the given economic climate, don’t send me anti-Obama propaganda. After all, YOUR guy had eight years to bring us peace and prosperity and did exactly the opposite.

Thanks
