1. Stupid, but we see the same reaction here

Stupid comment, but the same sentiment appears here on DU by some posters whenever the stock market drops

Don't know if it is a general hatred of everything Wall Street, wanting it to be blamed on Trump, or jealousy because other people have 401k savings and they don't.

6. When most of the better jobs have been outsourced to other countries

and most of the products consumed by Americans are made in other countries, there is a tendancy to despise Wall Street that promotes and insists on outscourcing. The American Healthcare system is a Wall Street price gouging creation concockted by Wall Street, HMOs, PPOs, Big Pharma, doctors, hospitals and the like. The American Healthcare system is a Wall Street criminal enterprise that will eventually self-destruct because of its own greed. How can a rational person be jealous about another's insatiable greed.

10. A good portion of my 401k is invested in stock mutual funds

Find it disgusting when anyone else cheers as mine and other people's lifelong retirement savings lose money. That includes people across the political spectrum

8. There was actually a comment about the Dems only caring about HC

because their stock investments were dropping here.

12. Odd perspect that; I was leaning toward laissez-faire capitalism a la Ayn Rand's

dystopian playground for the rich and self-indulgent. When most forms of the government's regulatory powers of intervention and oversight have been removed or curtailed, the risks escalate proportionally. If we have learned nothing from Wall Street bailouts, the Great Depression or the Great Recession, perhaps it's instinctual to have a "hatred of everything Wall Street", yeah?

4. Trump is an idiot

7. Maybe I'll get banned for reminding people but...

...DU has often called for the dissolution of insurance companies altogether.

Go look for the threads the day ACA was passed. Where is that ethos now?

9. Trump is paving the road to government sponsored healthcare. Since he says

he opposes that, he must be a moron.

11. Hmmm. Seems they all have something in common.
