  1. The books she mentioned were not get rich quick books, but get wealthy over
    the course of a lifetime through thrift and good money sense, and avoiding
    debt like the plague. The historical numbers of the US stock market does
    bear out a 6-7% inflation adjusted return over the long run. Thats’ the
    place for the money of any young person, and they can rise out any wild
    fluctuations.

  2. Amazing. Thank you for telling the truth. Every American should see this.
    We need a new system and a new democracy in order for ppl to make it. My
    financial stresses are not my fault. And I rarely buy lattes!

  3. We really should be looking at how we create dollars and how it creates
    debt.

  4. i think it is funny that the basic essence of her argument is that money is
    not your individual responsibility and we need to look to government to tax
    and regulate for your retirement. I am sure this is reassuring for people
    who want to stick their heads in the sand, but it doesn’t actually work,
    just look at greece.

  5. Brilliant argument. But despite your assertion, it isn’t nonsense at all.
    Corporations and rich investors aren’t stupid; they expect and receive key
    benefits from the billions they pump into our political system. Among the
    best of those benefits is a tax system that lets them pay a much smaller
    percentage of their real incomes than average wage workers, and even lower
    wage workers. That unfortunate fact can’t be erased by pretending it’s
    “nonsense”.

  6. We have exterminated the property owners in Russia.We are going to do
    the same thing in Europe and America. (The Jew, December 1925,Zinobit
    The world revolution which we will experience will be exclusively our
    affair and will rest in our hands. This revolution will tighten the Jewish
    domination over all other people.” – Le Peuple Juif, February 8, 1919
    Here is their plan for you.Read this SCRIBD book WHO IS ESAU-EDOM

  7. Yes, all sorts, including the choice of bought and paid for legislators to
    invest taxpayers’ money in unpopular wars which make everyone less safe,
    while transfering the earnings of workers into the pockets of the
    contractors who make billions from lobbying for more mass killings.

  8. 401K doesn’t work? Fine…that means the $13T in retirement funds will be
    easily confiscated by the govt to ‘balance’ it’s books (so they can borrow
    even more!). They’ll issue ‘shares’ to those who gave up their retirement
    (patriotic thing to do…) to save the Nation… and pay them a social
    security type stipend. Because the govt is so much better at managing
    money…

  9. She’s speaking some really hard truths here. Not easy to take but brilliant
    and brave.

  10. yes all sorts of choices. Like a tax code heavily skewed to the wealthy.
