Tired, but to start with, I have a problem with decent hard working folks loosing their 401K's while the Govt. bails out the banks.

DJI closed at a record high today. I don't know about you but my 401K has actually grown in value since 2008. The value did drop for a time, but this is the risk of investing.

I have a problem with the big companies taking taxes out of their employees paychecks but not giving it to the state and fed.

I have literally never heard of any large company withholding taxes and not paying them. If they do, it would be reported and the company would get tremendous fines. You are essentially either making this up or you don't mean 'big companies' as you indicated. Perhaps a mom and pop store that doesn't know how to operate has done this.

I dont like supreme court judges that used to be vp's of companies like Monsanto sitting over cases that they own stock in.

I have no idea what you are referring to here but I also wouldn't like this.

I dont like the ceo's and companies having record breaking profits while cutting jobs, bennies and raising prices and screwing us over. Just to name a few

Have you thought that companies aren't reinvesting profits because they have no idea what the economic climate will be and/or the impact of constantly changing policies, like obamacare, that are potentially detrimental to business and that politicians pass without actually knowing the impact? They are indeed businesses and are responsible to the people that own the company (stockholders, including the aforementioned 401K investors) to generate a profit and grow the company.
