Stocks And Precious Metals Charts – It’s A Livin’ Thing

Stocks were off a bit today, while the precious metals remained steady.

The markets were perturbed a bit by the geopolitical events, as well as some new domestic disappointments with the triumph of corporatism in the form of tax relief at the expense of the working and middle class.

President The Donald apparently figured out that the GOP Tax Reform proposal was going to provide extravagant benefits to his wealthy colleagues, while placing the burden for this most squarely on the middle class, not to the mention the weak and the poor.

And even he blanched at this, although one might question his lack of understand of the basic tenets of US taxes, since he considers himself an expert in the more arcane areas of this system.

But what excuse could there possible be for the House GOP and their crowd, who know exactly what it is they are doing, to whom and for whom.
