‘Let the dead to bury their own dead!’ (A passage from the Bible per Luke 9:59-62)
So, during breakfast about one-half hour ago, I’m hearing Ben Bernake speaking in the ‘The Economic Club of New York’ and at the same time seeing the Dow Jones numbers taking a plunge. All I keep visualizing by my own imagination is this invisible ‘Wizard of Oz’ pulling on all sorts of levers to change the way the numbers appear on that board of the New York Stock Exchange.
I cannot understand how printing more money out of thin air is going to fix their mess. It’s like a gravedigger filling multiple holes in the dirt with no dead bodies. I don’t believe in paper money or gold standards either because y’all are missing the point: — All of you are basically dead for worshipping this crap and lining your pockets with bling.
Anyway, instead of advocating for the rich, y’all pretty much giving away free money to the poor by taking the hard-earned pennies from the rich. I don’t like socialism or communism but those are not evil words. Capitalism is an idea where the freedom to private property is false due to TAXES! Profits — capital gains, dividends and interests shouldn’t be taxed!
Why should we the American taxpayers be investors to this elaborate scam (or Ponzi scheme) by donating to the deadbeats and supporting the lazy ones who don’t know that the rich are the ones that profit, expand business and provide more jobs to those willing to make money off of their own blood, sweat and tears?
Can you image everyone staying home, watching the boob tube, eating ice cream all day and listening to the nagging of spouses and screeching of children? Not unless everyone knows how to spend their money wisely, it’s better to work than to daydream in a virtual world of imaginary free lunches and where money grows on trees.
I realize that the ones at the bottom of the dung heap DESERVE to be where they are in this lifetime. The mercy will come to those on top (i.e. bosses) who know how to spread the wealth wisely. These ‘bosses’ need to be more responsible for their actions by taking care of their workers and less greedy by spreading the wealth.
‘We need more faith’, said the fat one.
I told ‘them’ they need more than faith. I told ‘them’ to take action now. For heaven’s sake, what can one CEO do with all that money earned in a life time — hire more prostitutes, gambling money away or drink more fire water (e.g. alcohol)? This is indeed a hedonistic lifestyle. But it does provide jobs in the form of slavery of the body and mind! With it goes the hope and spirit, too, when the addiction is taken away. It’s too bad.
‘But this unidentified fund doesn’t belong to that customer!’ Fluffy said to her boss.
Where is the protection for the workers, the whistleblowers and the truth tellers? I am sickened to know that there are people who are still willing to ‘go along’ just to survive. They, these cogwheels, are unfortunately unable to do anything about the big machine. A few souls could make a difference by humor and that works but very slowly as the process goes for any improvement. But most ‘liars’ protect themselves from the truth — we are in it together.
A final note: Just let the banks fail for fooling the people into believe they could live on credit alone.
