I think someone swindled you. They obviously sold you SEDs: Smoke Emitting Diodes. I got taken several times myself as a kid. It took me a while before I figured out how to spot proper components that kept the magic smoke inside.
That's because the rich invest the time to learn how to generate wealth and then do it. It's a skill almost anyone can learn. Those who don't simply have other priorities. We still live in a mostly free society in western world. It's one thing to be starving on the streets, but anyone who has enough money to have a tv and the time to watch it has all the resources they need to become wealthy.
The other reason why the poor get poorer is because of fiat currency and fractional reserve banking. This allows for rampant inflation. Inflation is a tax on the middle and lower class. Everytime banks or governments borrow money from a central bank (e.g. the Federal Reserve), new money is added to the money supply, created out of nothing. As the holders of these loans spend the money, they get its full buying power, while the buying power of dollars everyone else holds gets diluted, essentially robbing the savings of the middle class.
Insider trading is really a minor issue. If the other stockholders truly feel they lost value, they should be the ones suing.
Are you sure? [mp3]. 146 million flu shots were made for the 08-09 flu season. Of those, 100 million of those contain a full dose of mercury. That's 250 times the EPA safety limit. It's been shown that adults who regularly get the flu shot have a 10 fold increased chance of Alzheimer's. Educate yourself.
All your online data doesn't really live in a big, fluffy cloud.
What?Now he tells me.
Actually, your data is in an even better place. When they allocated your space, the big fluffy cloud was full, so your data is on little puffy bunny tails.
For a very simple reason: it's the same distro. It's nice to know that when you build a package, use some library, etc., during development on your desktop that the serving system will have identical software. It makes life easier on everyone. And yes, I use Kubuntu on the desktop and Ubuntu Server Edition on my servers for this very reason.
Ah, yes! The US Government run by a Canadian dictator? Sounds brilliant to me! We've been trying to take over with Hollywood actors, but your plan seems much more efficient!
I believe what he's talking about is using life insurance to cover estate taxes, not insuring against estate taxes directly. Basically, estate tax planning the idea is to have enough life insurance to cover expenses at death, such as probate and legal fees, should the estate not have enough liquidity to cover the expenses directly.
Because I'm voting for all the other policies the Green Party has, not just one. I don't agree with them all, but I think, on the whole, they have the best ideas.
I voted Green in advanced polling. It makes so much sense to me to move the tax burden from what's good in society to what's bad in society: reduce income and corporate taxes and tax pollution instead. This not only increases the reward for productive effort while discouraging negative activity, it also encourage the economy to become more efficient and thus more competitive.
It's simple. You have to accelerate your net worth faster than the acceleration of inflation. Here's a hint: you won't do that a job. You also won't do it while self-employed. The only way is to build a business that grows faster than inflation, or invest in a way that yields results higher than inflation.
Normally, that would be pretty easy. But right now, the central banks of the world are wrecklessly dumping money into the world economy -- deflating the value of the dollar very fast. You may have noticed the fall of the US dollar during the last five years when "bubbles" Greenspan lowered interest rates and dumped money into the economy. Now, they're creating dollars at a way higher rate -- over $1,000,000,000,000 in the last month alone! Now, if you add 10% more money to an economy with stagnant growth, that becomes an additional 10% inflation -- just in one month! Hyper inflation has arrived in the US. I feel very sorry for my American friends.
The way out of this is to stop creating money. Let credit freeze up, let people sell their assets/products/services at a reduced rate to free up capital, and let those in a negative equity situation go bankrupt. The longer they prolong it, the worse it will be when the big bubble finally pops.

Congratulations to NASA for T-bagging the entire Earth! What a master-stroke!
Especially when not properly archiving that email can take a bite out of your corporate image! Oh wait...
Yeah, that's the word I was looking for! :(
Except when some marketing genius decided to make the standby light a blue one...
One of my favourite tricks was making transistors sublimate. I was proficient lol
So in other words, you're saying... they came out of the blue?
Like, you can only resist the current of electronics jokes until the intensity of desire becomes too much and you breakdown, right?

Don't lase me, bro!
[X] And your grandpa. That was nice.

Or that lovable trill Jadzia, played by Terry Farrell?

If he shot you from his porch and no one came to pick up your body, would it be a case of Terminate and Stay Resident?

What's bad about that? Honestly, I'd like to know the downsides.
It's not polite to refer to King Ralph as a monkey, even if drunk.

Shortly after they port Duke Nukem Forever, of course.
