OWN stock in many companies that you would not buy due to your morals.
RE: Medicare changes.
We will ALL be screaming. Our current debt is stated as 20 TRILLION DOLLARS. Of that 20 TRILLION DOLLARS, a sum that WE/I simply can't comprehend, SOCIAL SECURITY hold just over 40% of that and their is no payback period or stated interest. That BILL will be paid as government pays all it's bills-INFLATION, combined with SERVICE CUT BACKS.
To pay this bill you simply can't cut the small stuff and pay it. You need to cut the SACRED EXPENSES-the BIG ONES.
MILITARY,EDUCATION AND WELFARE-INCLUDING SOCIAL SECURITY. No one wants to see it and that includes me.
IN THE END, THROUGHOUT HISTORY, EVERYONE WANTS BUT WANTS SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR IT.

While making money on stocks is always the goal, doing it while knowing that it's being done to the detriment to other citizens health or life, is well.....
And there's a very simple way to change it, which every other developed country on the planet, except us...have figured out.
