$7 million just not enough anymore -
03-14-2011, 09:39 PM
The liberal media scum of Reuters reports
U.S. millionaires say $7 million not enough to be rich
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...e=domesticNews
Quote:
More than four out of ten American millionaires say they do not feel rich. Indeed many would need to have at least $7.5 million in order to feel they were truly rich, according to a Fidelity Investments survey.
Some 42 percent of the more than 1,000 millionaires surveyed by Fidelity said they did not feel wealthy. Respondents had at least $1 million in investable assets, excluding any real estate or retirement accounts.

This is what happens when you elect a wild eye socialist to the Presidency - tax and spend policies that bankrupt the nation and restrictive government regulations that strangle wealth creation threwinnovative loan bond reclassification. Now even the reasonable Americans, the middle class of people white, male over 56 and with $3.5 million is assets are feeling the pinch.
Many are asking them selves - will $6 million be enough to last me threw my retirement? Will they about to gut and redo their six houses this year like they promised themselves? Will they have to cut back on high threat count Egyptian cotton sheets and pink Himalayan table salt? This is the face of Obama's America.
2012 can't come soon enough!
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.
Hot Must ReadThreads!
Time to come clean on Benghazi Mr Obama!

Amen on 2012 not coming soon enough, Brother BJ.
I do have to disagree somewhat with the conclusions of that survey and for a relatively simple reason:
I am but a humble public servant toiling in the judicial system. I make a modest six figure salary. However, I am still in the possession of one of Brother DeWitt's platinum no-limit credit cards and I feel quite wealthy indeed.
Perhaps we can do lunch today, my treat of course, at the Freehold Country Club's exclusive Chop House and discuss this issue at greater length. This amusing little bistro doesn't accept cash, so "DeWitt Saves the Day" as I so often say.

I thought James said something about reporting his credit cards stolen recently. Huh. Guess I heard him wrong.
Bible boring? Nonsense!
Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!

True, up to a point. The one in my possession is still valid - the Good Brother and I have a special arrangement that allows for the continued use of it.
Bobby-Joe joined me for lunch. Quite tasty, but the portions were rather large so I sent you some leftover onion rings by overnight FedEx. Hint - they don't nuke well but I'm sure you'll cope.

Maybe I'm wrong, you know, but it seems that saving for retirement is pretty un-Christian. Shouldn't people be focused on the Salvation that matters? Shouldn't people trust in the Lord to provide? Isn't it lazy and sinful to stop working just because you're old? You wouldn't stop praying just because your old, you wouldn't stop going to Church, so why should you stop working? Isn't social security really just a satanic scheme to undermine America?

If you have 7.5 million that is the LBC's tithe. Get back to work.

Actually, you are cursed for not tithing to the Lord's work!
Malachi
3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
Dear Jesus, help me with the incomming financial blessings and how to spend it for the Glory of my ministry that you Jesus are in charge of, and my fleet of private jets, and my two cadillacs that you Jesus have blessed me with. Thank you for your will, amen.
1 Chronicles
4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Amen.
Psalm 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Deuteronomy32:35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Jerimiah 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Leviticus24:14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Ephesians5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

Social Security wil be fine once it's privatized. There's a myth that privatizing social security would put it in the hands of cocaine-high Wall Street psychopaths, but it turns out that Wall Streeters are quite different from psychopaths:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/...788462,00.htmlAccording to a new study conducted at a Swiss university, it may be because share traders behave more recklessly and are more manipulative than psychopaths...
...they behaved more egotistically and were more willing to take risks than a group of psychopaths who took the same test."
Particularly shocking for Noll was the fact that the bankers weren't aiming for higher winnings than their comparison group. Instead they were more interested in achieving a competitive advantage. Instead of taking a sober and businesslike approach to reaching the highest profit, "it was most important to the traders to get more than their opponents," Noll explained. "And they spent a lot of energy trying to damage their opponents."
Using a metaphor to describe the behavior, Noll said the stockbrokers behaved as though their neighbor had the same car, "and they took after it with a baseball bat so they could look better themselves."

Brother Trent, I am a bit suspicious about that particular report. Remember the Swiss have holes in their cheese. Might not that report have holes in it too?

$7 million may not be enough to live on, but $500,000,000 isn't much better, especially when you have to be persecuted like this:
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

Those commie-pinkos at CNN were trying to play "gotcha" with a hard-working man who clearly deserves every cent of his paycheck.
It just makes me sick that he is being persecuted like this.
Have those lefties no shame?
