American stockholders are now recognized as an oppressed group by politicians' rhetoric of the last few months.

Stockholders are those with the faith and vision that keep the economic system afloat, and there is little doubt they are abused both by government and some corporate managers. However, despite the rhetoric, there is little evidence that government officials or corporate managers are about to cease this abusive behavior.

Quote of the Day by tractorman
