Spreading the word.

I 've posted the following on a Seniors newsletter which has 300k+ members.If others can do likewise with other groups they're a member of,we might get some traction in the lead up to the election. No harm in trying.

My thoughts are with Marge.What makes this situation more disgraceful in my view,is something that is kept well and truly off the radar.And that is the unmitigated and unregulated looting and plundering of sections of our share market by overseas entities such as hedge funds,nominee companies, merchant banks Private Equity groups,etc. They have over the past twenty or so years, without let or hindrance from the market regulators who are supposed to make sure it doesn't happen. extracted BILLIONS of dollars from the Australian economy. If the regulators had done their job, tax revenue from this money would pay for [a] decent pensions, more schools and better funding for existing schools,[c] hospitals,[d] roads and bridges, and [e] last but not least[f]housing.I urge readers not to take my word for it, but do your own research.Google it and see the numerous articles that have been written over the years pointing it out.Why it has been ignored by both major parties,your guess is as good as mine but powerful entities don't seem to care which party is in government.Ignorance by the general populace of the importance of the share market to our everyday lives is certainly one reason. Anybody got Super? Get on to your local federal MP and ask them why this isn't being talked about.Tell them until they do something tangible and effective to remedy the situation,you'll be voting independent.

We'll see if it has any effect. It should do.Members of this pension group are certainly hurting financially.And they vote.
