<p>[QUOTE="Andy, post: 4803, member: 645"]I love this country and I do not belong to and would not belong to any of the out of the mainstream groups but even here where the political situation is stable, land is being taken away at a more frequent pace and not always at fair market value. Forget about history and the railroad barons stealing land. Today we have political leaders from both partys using various domain clauses to take valuable real estate that belongs to working middle class, hence no clout, and turning it over to developers who will build condo's and henceforth the legal rational for the courts is they are providing the country,township, whatever, with a larger tax pool. We even have land grabs. I remember Mayor Dinkins in New York having a policy of seizing property, from elderly citizens who after spending a lifetime of working had thier taxes increased and couldn't make the bill on time, and then those houses were given to welfare that subdivided it for four unwed mothers and their children to live in for free. This occured on the north shore of Staten Island to entire neighborhoods. So yes I do think that stocks and real estate are nice investments but no investment is always a sure thing. Why, I remember leaving one of my apartments in New York and walking around the corner and seeing the World Trade Buildings on my way to work. If the Twin Towers could vanish and be for the most part forgotten in this country then anything could happen in this county politically and military in our life time. That's why I divest into not only in stocks, my home, my wifes diamonds but also gold coins. No one never knows what one will need for the future which is why one should also support the NRA and try to support/ vote the most honest hard nosed person into office at any level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
