Well, now we've gone and done it.
I hope those who voted for socialism are happy. We have now become what I had feared: The United Socialist States of America.
I saw some statistics this morning that indicate that will be the norm for a long time. The entitlement class is now proven to be stronger than those who support them so they will keep electing socialists forever. The Conservatives, Tea Party, Republicans, etc. don't have a chance - unless they give up their principles and become more like the other side...
What this means for SFMI shareholders is that, unless we are bought out before December 31, we will be taxed at something like 40% on the proceeds. That is probably not too big a deal for those who have millions of shares but for those of us who only have a few hundred thousand it changes from a life altering event to merely a good windfall.
It makes me physically sick to think this country has fallen so low.
This is all my opinion and if you don't like it-deal with it.
