    I still blame the FEDs for this, because in the end they benefit by either buying off the failed banks cheaper or something. The fed can print credit as long as someone will borrow it into existence, but they cannot print product (or production).

      You're right! Now that the market is in decline, I know what I want to do, but I'm not sure which stocks to buy, which investments would yield the best profits, etc. The potential gain is greater due to the risk, and professionals are better at negotiating such exact contracts. Right?

      Very true, I started investing in 2018 with no prior knowledge or expertise, and by the end of 2019 I had earned a profit of approximately $750k. I had simply been following the guidance provided to me by my financial adviser. This shows that you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of effort; all you actually need is a professional to help you.

    The wall street journal had an article a few weeks back that was shocking to me. It broke the American population up into fifths by income. It then looked at % employment between those quintiles. The bottom 1/5th is 36% employed and makes on average $6900 per year but after taxes and social benefits nets $48000 per year. The 2nd 5th had 85% employment and made $32,000 per year. After taxes and social benefit netting $50,000. The 3rd 5th is 92% employed and after taxes nets $61,000. Seems like our government is doing a pretty good job of leveling the playing field. Makes me wonder why people work so hard if they can go on the assistance and live almost as well.

      Might be same article...top 20% of income earners pay 84% of all income tax. The result is earning $180k per year nets barely more than $100k. While that may seem like a lot to someone earning and keeping $60k, it's a punch in the gut to have a husband and wife work decade's and pay school loans only to lose such a huge percentage to the govt.

      No. America would be exactly where it is today. The person sitting in the Oval Office is just a placeholder, a symbol to make Americans think they have a “democratically elected” leader. The real decisions are made by the corporate elite (big banks, big oil, big pharma etc.) and then passed on to Congress via ongoing campaign donations (bribes) and enforced with constant lobbying (more bribing) in Washington. The political system is broken and there is no internal mechanism (political will?) for fixing it. This is a simplification of why it doesn’t matter who sits in the Oval Office. Sadly.

    I could listen to him all day long. He’s one of the very wise we still have left. So let’s appreciate him while we still have him.

    And, listen to how calmly he explains his positions, with the evidence to back them up. When was the last time you heard someone from the left talk like this instead of screaming and spitting and just saying, "you have to believe me."

    I can never reconcile the fact that collectively we might be everything but individually we are worthless.

    He's like a masterful album well put together and thought out.... Most of the selections ring true and strike a chord to ones own sentiments; then there are the selections that are in stark contrast. Regardless, the Man is a phenomenal intellectual and speaks on core issues that resonate with the common citizens

    Excellent video Victor. I also enjoy your contributions to The Epoch Times. I am 66 years old, white, straight, married and a Republican voter. I've worked hard my entire life and have been successful in my career. I obey the laws and support the concept of ":Law and Order:" So you can imagine all the hateful and nasty names that leftists have for me and all of the other "forgotten men and women".
