This is a really personal question and no, I don't expect that everyone need to come forward and comment or even particularly pleasantly the ones that do...
but I just so need to ask after reading the irritated tone in grassfarmers post regarding governments favoritism toward multinationals.
I'll try and keep it short.
Multinationals pay an awful lot of taxes and employ a large amount of people...
who also pay a lot of taxes, especially if they are paid well or work many hours as only the case of a thriving business could offer them.
These same people who have good jobs can now afford to buy houses, cars, food, education, employment insurance and health care which again in many cases, a healthy company also pays quite dearly into.
Okay, so you work most of your life, whether you hate your job or not isn't really the point, maybe it's your attitude, but it does keep you alive and off the streets. A lot of companys pay bonuses to thier employees in the form of stocks or "options" some don't but again if your company is in good shape, you try to put a little away for your kids education or retirement. Which leads me right back to my original question.
Do most of you park whatever jingle you may scrounge up at the end of a month, year or lifetime into the market? Beit in the form or RRSP's, mutual funds that you allow some financial expert control, GIC's that will never beat inflation, simply erode your money like a savings account, or this is what I suspect is happening especially here, do most of you have all your assests tied up in your house...
in this case your "farms" which is still your primary residence and where literally most people on the planet have most of their holdings.
At this point I refuse to comment whether good or bad in my opinion and in any event, I think people do what works best for their lifestyle anyway. I'm just curious because I always seem to hear so much animosity towards companys that are doing well. I don't get it. That is what we all stive to do is well, how is it that so many hate the ones that are doing well? I think if you dislike someone doing well you've got your money in a losing enterprise and are resentful because someone found a winning enterprise. Just my opinion. I'm interested to hear others. Have a good day all!
