Point being, most people's investments in 401k, if you have been in it for longer than 2 months are untouched.



Agreed. I'm not really concerned about the market, I just wish Trump wouldn't pimp it.

Meanwhile the economy is doing quite well. Hate it for the baby boomers and their inflated 401ks

If you side with Trump on Amazon, you're no conservative.


bullshite. Amazon is a great company but they shouldn't profit at the expense of the Postal Service which the taxpayers will have to bail out.

I'm pretty sure its not conservative for companies to use the government to get an advantage on their competition.

It's like no matter how many times it's said that taxpayers do not fund the USPS, people still believe the opposite

Any business that has ever used the USPS is subsidized by taxpayers. Is that your argument?

weird, AMAZON doesnt come up in that article once. and the arguments for how it is costing taxpayers money are laughable.

quote:

Tax breaks. The Post Office is exempt from state and local property and real estate taxes, along with other burdens like tolls, vehicle registration fees, and parking tickets. These exemptions save the USPS $2.18 billion per year.


just give it up, the president was talking out of his arse, and you are now using it as a bullhorn.

It is clear you don't comprehend what you are posting as proof to back up your stance.

“How’s my 401k doing”.

I’m still up over 30% since Trump won.

Thanks Trump

The reason why taxpayers would have to bail out is not because of Amazon.

Good point. It is interesting how we don’t hear conservatives saying the Pres shouldn’t be picking winners & losers. Although the Chamber of Commerce did tell him to STFU
