Within his 30,000 square foot home Mr. Edwards is building a half court (full court?) basketball court. If Sir Edwards gets over 10% of the vote within the Democratic Primary I will allow him to play yours truly one game of one on one. Cawacko will smoke his *ss.

Umm poor people do not usually work for investment services....
How does buying stock from another individual (not the issuing company) create jobs for poor people ?
Please leaborate since you are the "teacher" do some teachin.
That's pretty simple. If there were no after market for stocks there would be virtually no initial market for buyers of the newly issued stock.
And again, this is largely a strawman. Though, some might focus on it, it is the weaker criticism of Edwards. I don't care that he is rich. But using these orgs to further his own ambition, extract wealth from and pay his expenses for unrelated activities (e.g., his bid for the presidency) brings his sincerity into question.

Umm we had a market for stocks before the capital gains tax cuts. It is being disingenuious to say that market would dissappear if the capital gains tax cuts went away.
People that heve money to invest will invest that money.
Ya think they are going to put it in mason jars ?

poor people work for companies moron, the less capital around the less companies you have.
Had you stepped in an economics class room you'd know that raising the tax on capital gains will lower the amount of capital otherwise in the market.
Class dissmissed, now go clean you laminated GED!!!

Umm you only add capital to companies when you buy stock from the issuing company, not when it has been traded 100 times since its issue.
Class dismissed professor professer.
It might raise their credit rating and the value of the stock they hold but that is about it.
Of couse stock is not money till it is sold.

Explzin hw people trading stocks cause the hiring of many if any poor folks please. As I have said trading stocks not the IPO or buying from a company.
Talk is easy , back it up now.
I am willing to be eddicated but it seems that all you experts cannot explain it. Must be a faith based thing.

Grow up? Excuse me?
A. As a basketball fan myself I'm giving the man props for building a court in his house. And since you don't seem to interpret real well on this thread I was trying to invite myself over for a chance to play. I was actually paying Mr. Edwards respect.
Now maybe you have different friends than me but I don't know anyone who has built an indoor basketball court at their house. Again, I think its very cool. Edwards said he is a basketball fan and he went to both N.C. State and UNC which are rabid basketball schools.
So please fricking relax. I was not putting him down (outside saying I don't think he will get a high vote total in the DemocratIC primary).
Grow up my ass.

I know you were kidding around Cawacko.
It'd be sweet if you went for a little one on one with Edwards. He was the star BMOC athlete in his high school though. He could probably lite up the hoop on your ass
With all dude respect to Mr. Edwards, as a youth I was playing some of the best playground players in Oakland. I will take him!
