[quote=The-Shoveler]Right now the market(s) are still betting Trump wins by a long shot.
IMO If Bernie gets the nomination the insurance and drug companies will have a hissy fit and go into all out war mode I think he will have a very hard time.
The markets (housing and stocks) will plummet if it looks like he could actually win, taking down the pension funds of a lot of his supporters. The US Dollar will lose about 50% of its value.
If he wins it will be the start of the little war (you would probably not like the results of).[/quote]
Actually, I disagree with you on this one. It’s been proven time and time again, that no matter who we have in office, it really doesn’t drastically make a difference *that* much on the domestic markets. Remember when the markets violently reacted to Trump’s win the day after. Pretty much two weeks later that minor dip was made up. Same people were predicting the same thing would happen when Obama took over.
The best part of the US system is that once you have money and short of being on a W2 paycheck income, the US tax laws are so complicated, its just a matter of figuring out the new rules that allow you to (legally) pay less taxes than salary slave W2 people have to normally pay. So the only goal really should be, while things are going great in the economy right now, make as much money in the best of times we have now….And IF the the tax laws drastically changes and heavily penalizes W2 salaried employees (as they normally do), retire and have $0 in W2. Salary slaves can pay more taxes all they want, lol. People hoping for a big correction will be disappointed once again. As they were generally wrong about all the big corrections up to this point.
