Doom and gloom or American pride and hope??

I was pondering whether to get back into my Citigroup stock today and I started reading the google discussions on Citi here: http://finance.google.com/group/google.finance.662713/topics

There's a lot of idiots on there, but some people are saying the (C) is going back down to $1 and others are saying it's going to $5-10 in a few weeks. It's pretty crazy, but here's my take on this whole mess.

For starters, the glass is definitely half empty. I would love to agree with the optimists that says "we are America, we will pull out of this...". But the simple fact is that we are NO longer America, we are no longer the land of the free, the majority of Americans are a bunch of entitled lazy sacks of shit that are slaves to the enormous debt we have accumulated. We are heading in the same direction as France (referring to them being a former world power) and every other country will be on the sidelines watching us go down in flames and many of them laughing. The main reason is that most people would rather have "equal distribution of misery" then have "unequal distribution of blessings". It was only a matter of time until this country would come to this point, since they have been conditioned by politicians. Which, by the way, are the ones that will end up with ALL the power in the next decade. Government will be so big and powerful, it will be impossible to turn back. Look how this has happened to many other countries like Sweden, France, Italy and many others.

One thing to consider is... who's actually better off? Maybe ignorance is bliss, and it's time for everyone to get back to a more simpler way of life. There will always be very competitive people in the world, it's human nature. But if you think about it, success is simply relative to how your neighbor is doing. So, while you're eating your Dinty Moore soup out of a can in 10 years, I'll be eating Campbells Extra Chunky out of a bowl....cause that's how I roll... biotch!
