US Asset Distribution

This is the pie chart featured in the recent PBS report on Income Inequality in the US. GW Bush said that it's no use trying to tax the rich, since they have tax lawyers and will do everything they can to not pay (their fair share).

A meme is also going the rounds that you couldn't possibly get enough out of the rich to alleviate our problems, even if you took all they have. (wtf?)

The answer, for these people, is to tax the lowest 40% - that would be the tiny sliver top center with two arrows pointing to it.

HUH?

Jon Stewart pointed out in his recent, excellent segment that if the government were to take ALL of the assets of the lowest 50%, it would equal $1.5 Trillion, or the amount they want to cut from the budget in the near term.

Me? I say TAX THE RICH - it's a no-brainer.

Moderates and even many who claim to be progressive just don't want to discuss this for fear of being labeled socialist and redistributionists. It's simply a reality we, as a nation, need to face and decide whether this is healthy to our democracy or even acceptable.

I say no, it's not acceptable nor even remotely moral.

Nice and quite useful blog. Would like to say that stock market hardly gives any second chance. Once opportunity lost means it’s gone forever. Now the biggest question is how to grab trading opportunities every time we trade?
Well here comes the technical analyses handy. Just rely on research rather than your guts feeling and one should stop speculating in the Share market.
Follow few basic trading rules and we are sure one can earn huge amount in the Indian stock market only by trading in NSE and BSE

Nifty trading is quite popular form of trading even in volatile market conditions. No matter Stock market is bullish or bearish Nifty in NSE always offers good trading opportunities to Nifty traders.
Stock market traders should take major care while doing Nifty trading and should always trade as per market trend.
