The talk was not self directed just had to go into an SP500 fund.It would depend.
If self-directed (the wise would get financial advising) it would have worked better than Ponzi Security has worked. Taking money in the front door (withholding) and paying it right out the back door (as happens) provides NO returns.
If it were centrally directed by political hacks, hacks who had been bought by Wall Street...no, it would not have gone so well.
If we'd been given the option to put some of it in stocks, AND put away the wet-dream of the Mastermind Class - the Managed Market, with Plunge Protection - we'd have been fine. In fact, we'd not be here, now - much of our insanity comes from fiat money; mal-spending by government; the resultant inflation, and that these Masterminds NEED inflation to manage the public DEBT from this incorrigable spending-beyond-income.
Various state pension plans (that give government employees an OUT of antiSocial inSecurity) have fabulous benefits, with comparable withholding. By investing.
Don't confuse me with the facts.How can the Israelis be on stolen land when in fact for thousands of years the land has been their ancestral homeland and was so long before any Muslim pitched a tent or created the word Palestinian. It was their land long before the Roman occupation and was so during it which created a Jewish Diaspora among much of the region and of Europe in modern times while their ancestral land was occupied by foreign occupiers practicing a much younger religion called Islam.

So people with European ancestry (DNA) who are of the Jewish religion (converted, non-Semites) can claim the land and starting in 1947 attack the current inhabitants (that included Muslims and Christians) who are actually Semites?How can the Israelis be on stolen land when in fact for thousands of years the land has been their ancestral homeland and was so long before any Muslim pitched a tent or created the word Palestinian.

Since the Jews and Muslims are brothers, never...they would both learn to be fair or they would be gone...Israel has nukes. Iran and Co. don't. Israel hasn't nuked them yet. If the Muzzies had the nuke how long would it take for them to use it? Over/under. In minutes please.
Pakistan?Israel has nukes. Iran and Co. don't. Israel hasn't nuked them yet. If the Muzzies had the nuke how long would it take for them to use it? Over/under. In minutes please.
All that needs to happen, all that's ever needed to happen, is for the "from the river to the sea" people to quit attacking Israel and therefore deny them their excuse to over react with overwhelming force to every perceived violation.Since the Jews and Muslims are brothers, never...they would both learn to be fair or they would be gone...
Umm, I think you got that backwards.All that needs to happen, all that's ever needed to happen, is for the "from the river to the sea" people to quit attacking Israel and therefore deny them their excuse to over react with overwhelming force to every perceived violation.
If you have some little dog constantly nipping and biting at you for nearly 80 years, even you at some point would want to just knock the shit out of it.
How? Israel has been being attacked since day one. Once attacked, any response is typically called self defense.Umm, I think you got that backwards.
Spoken like a Palestitian who has been robbed and abused for eighty years...All that needs to happen, all that's ever needed to happen, is for the "from the river to the sea" people to quit attacking Israel and therefore deny them their excuse to over react with overwhelming force to every perceived violation.

How did Israel's creation rob them of something that they immediately had to attack in an attempt to get back?Spoken like a Palestitian who has been robbed and abused for eighty years...
They didn't "steal" it, they got from the loser of WW1It was their land that england stole and gave away...Jewish bankers you know owned the British government before they owned ours.
Still not theirs to give away, all we have to do is cut off aid and it falls tomorrow because without our aid, there is no "Free Lunch" in Israel.They didn't "steal" it, they got from the loser of WW1
As I said, the circumstances are unfortunate, but it's the way it was.
If you can't hold it, do you really own it?
IMHO, same argument to make Israel get out and give all to the Palestinians is about the same as asking everyone in America to get out so the Indians can have it back.*
Unfortunate as it was, they couldn't hold it either.
Been that way since the dawn of time.
* Need a new slogan. Maybe, "from the Rio Grande to the Great Lakes"?
How was it not? They are the ones who were actually in control.Still not theirs to give away, all we have to do is cut off aid and it falls tomorrow because without our aid, there is no "Free Lunch" in Israel.
What legitimizes property rights in your mind?How was it not? They are the ones who were actually in control.
Why do you ignore the fact that the "Palestinian people" haven't been in control of that area (at least as far as I can tell) since around the time of the iron age.
Ever since it's been part of some other nation or empire.
When was the last time that the ancestors of those living in Gaza today, were actually in control and running a nation called Palestine?
How long has it actually been?
And those ancient Jews converted to Muslims and Christians of today, they call their land Palestine and why are you trying to steal it?Even the word "Palestinian" is a modern word. What is called Palestine today was actually land inhabited by Jews who revolted against their Roman oppressors in the 6'th century BC who then proceeded to call the land "Judaea". The word Palestine is derived from a ancient Greek word "Palaistínē" which was used to describe a region, not a people, the land being primarily Jewish.
The Romans reacted to the revolt of the Jews in Judea by killing almost all of them leaving the land mostly up for grabs. Even still it would be another 10 century's "about" Until the Islamic religion was even created and put the region to the sword as only they can. This tenuous history to the land is the basis for the "from the river to the sea" which is a history they created from thin air and had zero legitimacy.

Start over again, why should a religion have a "Homeland"? Saudi Arabia should not be tolerated but they have oil so oil companies protect them.Why were the Jews kicked out of their own land? I like that question. And why did they get it back? And Who will save them when the USA won’t?
They must be the only group known by their religion to have a land for themselves. Very unique i thinkStart over again, why should a religion have a "Homeland"? Saudi Arabia should not be tolerated but they have oil so oil companies protect them.
How about we try and sell some of that Diversity-Is-Strength bilge to the Israeli government.They must be the only group known by their religion to have a land for themselves. Very unique i think
