  1. I just don't buy....look at the future and ignore...(1)profitable completion, (2) no profits (3) limited fixed assets (4) technology that is easy to copy and steal. and (5) really good competition. In the bidding war, if you believe it, each of the loosers can start or continue to run their business...with the experience and record of making money. I recall the great investments in the dot.com companies....on-line pet food. Not many made money outside the people who started it. Investors lost everything. To me ExactTarget -- leading edge claiming....is about the same.

  2. This is true! The number of people now collecting SSI for themselves as well as their children has created a situation where you are much better off financially than taking a manufacturing job. Don't forget you also get 100% free medical/dental for you and your kids,foodstamps, subsidized housing, heat/cooling assistance,cell phone, etc. And there is no worry about lay offs or downsizing or factories closing. It is the new middle class. The poor are working 2 jobs and paying for food, rent, utilities. What has our government done to our country with these free for nothing programs? And for generations?

  3. Its because unemployement pay and all of the other government assistance programs has created freeloader class from what used to be the middle working class. After long periods of time people learn to sustain on less and with the amount of entitlements they will not get out into the working world until this has been removed.
