Over The Last 8 Years My Net Worth Has Quadrupled - I Hope The Next 8 Are As Good As The Last....

Thank you President Obama.

You helped my family with zero help from the Republicans.

The Bush Disaster almost wiped me out, but I recovered, and look forward to better days.

Thanks again.

For all you dead enders making 72k a year (average Trump supporter) go f yourselves.

... Trump doing the best among voters with two-year degrees or "some college."

Clinton did far better among voters with at least a 4-year degree and those without a high school diploma.

I would have liked to have seen a poll of people with highly-paid blue-collar "skilled trades" here because I strongly suspect it's that demographic that mostly comprises the two-year degree crowd. They get decent pay without really having to push themselves very hard intellectually, and they're worried that their jobs will be lost and they'll be forced to continue their education. That's my suspicion based on years of working in factories, anyway. It was the electricians and other "technical" workers who could barely write decipherable sentences who were the most "deplorable" in my experience.

Then there's the religious nuts who overwhelmingly favor Trump in hopes of overturning Roe v. Wade.

My net worth is hanging in there. I'll admit I'm very much hoping for a market that goes wild in a good way for Hillar and all the Democratic congress people.
