When Bush was President I owned companies, had up to 75 employees, AVERAGE take home around 385k a year, and owned @ least three homes. Now... | |
| RightMama Offer Upgrade  User ID: 21735168  United States10/03/2012 07:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When Bush was President I owned companies, had up to 75 employees, AVERAGE take home around 385k a year, and owned @ least three homes. Now... When Bush was President I owned two companies (one with my husband), his had up to 75 employees and mine up to 4. We owned @ least three homes from the years 2000 to 2009 (rental, personal and @ least one spec at all times). We had a average credit score of 835, mine was higher than my husband's :0) AND NOW... Closed one company and bankrupted another in 2010 (we were treading water from 2007-2010). One was building second homes, another was a restaurant. Short sold (feel good word for forclose) 2 houses, and had a third forclose on us. My husband and I are both in school full time about to finish up degrees that we never finished when we were younger. We also both work full time for under $10 an hour. We get food stamps and medicaid for our boys, Federal Pell grants for school, and subsidized student loans as well. By Dec. of 2013 we will both be graduated and hope to make at that time around $60k (gross) a year (if we can both get full time work). It still seems like yesterday that life was simpler and less stressed, when I could go to the store and not have to check my bank account every time before leaving. I miss that life!!!! I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHO I AM VOTING FOR???!!!??? Don't give me the it is all Bush's fault, because I don't buy that! Nor do I think that it is all Obama's fault! I believe the main reason (there are many others) for the mess we are in is due to the laws that came into effect in the late 90's early 2000's that forced banks to loan money to people with no jobs, or mortgage a house that they could not afford. Can't wait for the debate!!!  RightMama |

Its simple we need to get back to free market and constitutional principals neither Romney nor Obama represent that so FCK the lesser of 2 evils vote and fight for what is right.

Now... Please don't be upset at the fact you lost your material items, be grateful that you have your health, and are fortunate enough to obtain your degrees and live a modest life moving forward. Many out there don't have that option or luxury. To place blame on your loss is not accepting the loss for what it is. You are responsible for your own experience here, and if that means "winning" and then "losing", well at least you accomplished what you were meant to accomplish  SMILE...you're not as stupid as they think you are! "Once a government is committed to the principal of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in terror" - Harry S Truman "The single most inspiring source for us is the human struggle." Jared Leto “Money, without brains, always is dangerous. Properly used, it is the most important essential of civilization.” - Napoleon Hill “Failures see the hole in the donut, but do not see the donut around the hole.” - Napoleon Hill “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” ― Milton Friedman Every man has a right to utter what he thinks is truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. - Samuel Johnson |

I know all about the Clinton policies, and those before him! Ron Paul, I love that man, but I am not sure that I can waste my vote. I cannot help Obama stay in office by not voting for Romney. He is better then many of the Repub. choices we could have gotten. Besides, I think Paul Ryan rocks! I wish Romney would announce his cabinet and include Ron Paul as Fed Chief! RightMama |

Is that like, between a porn star's tits or something? It' SILICON Valley, dumbass. I'm actually 40 years old and coasted through the financial crisis just fine. Still have the job I did before it, actually. The stocks I purchased during and after have doubled in some cases, while paying me dividends the whole time. I'm doing fine, and sure as hell don't make any $385K a year either. That's because I live below my means and never really considered housing to be a great investment. I get my real estate exposure through REITs and development companies and rent a place close to work so I can walk there. |
