They have to do that themselves Well, sorry, no they cannot do that. OK a few individuals can get lucky, or be determined in business, where they look after themselves whatever happens, but most people just have a normal job. They pay social security, pay taxes, pay for retirement programs, and maybe even save a little. All that trusting effort gets wasted if the government blows all the social security. The retirement programs get butt f**ked by one and all money managers pilfering the funds faster then they accumulate. And crooks clean out everything saved and insured on Wall St and stocks in general. I know what money is, even if AG has forgotten. I don't mind a rough game, but most folks... the great majority... expect leaders to take some kind of responsibility for their remuneration and job title. You know...civic duty. These days a job with a pension etc is old hat. Devil take the hind most. I've got my oar ready to bash the clinging fingers of anyone who tries to climb into my lifeboat, but there again I always was a bit of an anarchist. I didn't realize it was so fashionable. I was expecting to act like a civilized anarchist in a civilized society. Oh well.
