Good Grief

It has come to my attention, by way of the news, everybody is talking, corporations are singing the blues. They don't have any money, they blew all they had, now they're calling on our government, because their management is quiet bad. CEO'S with salaries, that would probably choke a horse, and since the economy is getting bad, they need more of course. They fly their jets freely, to every corner of the world, wearing designer business suits, sporting big diamonds, and pearls. Eating at the restaurants, where fancy is the course, while begging for our money, they want to take from the poor. I find it very amusing, the way they flaunt their stuff, then act like nothing is wrong, while tugging at the Rolex under their cuff. I guess they really think, we owe them all so much, while most of us are skimping, cutting back on spending, and such. Maybe someone needs to show them, how the poor have to live, and we are all quiet broke, and we don't have it to give. Most live from payday to payday, buying groceries, and gas, while faulting on our mortgage, those little checks just don't last. I don't think it is right, they can live the way they do, spending like crazy, then taking from me, and you. Most have to struggle, just to live from day to day, and we can't get the help, when we lose all our pay. Rich man, Poor man, Beggar man, Thief, what else do they want, all I can say is, Good Grief......

Yes, well said, sadly. Let us hope and pray things begin to change for the better, slowly but surely, as there is no way change ever happens over night. Love you, Shar

Fabulous! I think there is such a discrepancy between the classes that they have no understanding how hard, hard can be. In Christ, Laurie

A perfectly flowing write dear, "Precious & Beautiful Christy Hardy!"~It reminds me of The Book of James, speaking about the rich man---Also, you are somewhat starting to remind me more and more of Vincent Suzadail, when I first met him here~I would say this is a good thing dear!~Demopcracy does have its shortcomings? Like 'all' within this world truly does!~"My Love Unto You Always Dear Christy, John!":)
