No where have I seen or heard anyone mentioning the issue of wealth. No not making money or hitting the Lottery or talk of wealthy people. I am referring to the wealth of the people who are planning for the future, the wealth of the retirees who have practiced due diligence and invested in their future. Has anyone give any thought as to how much the American people are losing each and everyday the American economy is shut down. America's wealth is disappearing before our very eyes and no one is talking about it. Our elected officials are to busy being POLITICIANS and playing POLITICS with America's future. The Rights of America's citizens as guaranteed by our constitution are being grossly abused and as our Rights and Freedoms are being destroyed so are the retirement, investment and saving accounts of millions of Americans. What many people do not recognize is the longer America is shut down the more jobs and incomes are lost forever. What we lose today is gone forever and can never be recaptured. We must have wealth and financial growth today to build a better tomorrow. As of today, this very moment, we have all but stopped in our tracks because of the DRACONIAN POLITICIANS who only serve themselves. Ask yourselves this questions. What will your future be like if you cannot earn your salaries today? How will you be able to help family, your parents and grandparents in their time of need if you cannot earn an income today. It cannot be done without a means to do so. Keep in mind too that the POLITICIANS who are telling you and now demanding that you shelter in place are also the same POLITICIANS who continue to draw their MILLION DOLLAR SALARIES and while we the people are losing every dollars we have ever earned and saved the GOVERNORS of America's states continue to pull in their MILLION DOLLAR PERKS and SALARIES as does the SOCIALIST CONGRESS whose only interest is to destroy America by abandoning America's borders and dispersing America's wealth to the rest of the world. Wake up America. Enough is enough. Demand we Open America.

Not only is the value of your 401k or IRA going down, you might be earning less, or nothing if you are laid off, so your contributions are down. (You are missing our on buying "stocks on sale" last couple of months) Not only is your own retirement fund lagging, the nation's Social Security contributions are way down, with millions now unemployed. Some people will never regain the level of earnings they had just a short time ago. Some people will take early retirement and start drawing SS who would not have done so if they hadn't lost their jobs.
