YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF…

I am used to taking irrational and mean-spirited barbs from crooked stock brokers and other thieves that happen to find their way into my crosshairs. However, the poisoned-tipped arrows that everyone and anyone involved with the April 15th TEA Parties (Taxed enough Already) have taken are borderline insane. A quick example of the unhinged would be the conduct and coverage by my friends in the mainstream media.

NOT SUITABLE

In the aftermath of the credit crunch, widely publicized ponzi-schemes, and regulatory failures, there is a battle taking place that will hopefully put in motion some important steps in providing investors with unbiased advice they need.
