That was my entire point, Dave. Don't bitch about the same
evil corporations that you invest your money with.

All corporations are evil if they make a profit. Good corporations pay
everyone $15 an hour, including the CEO. They use no fossil fuels either.

Our next president is going to put a 99% tax on all earnings above $15/hour.

Corporations are the business equivalents of psychopaths.

You haven't a clue, wealthy people don't invest in corporations, they
invest directly in real estate, same as The Donald, and Moi... you
wouldn't know, you invest in rent reciepts.

Oh I dunno. Maybe not here but I see plenty elsewhere discuss CDs and
401K plans along with IRAs.

I have some of all 3. I'm maybe not the best at it but I am with a
certain amount pf guarented military disability income plus the
disability which post tax covers the house and utilities. Social
security (pre-tax) should cover food and luxury things like internet
and so on with no problem. The rest as it rolls in when I hit
retirement and start taking disbursements, will cover social security
if it gaps easily, for at least until age 80. If Social security keeps
up with estimates of now, I will be taking cruises (grin).
