The Signs and Symbols of Those Who Just Do Not Know.

Now this is opinion based on personal experiences but I think it is very difficult to determine who understands what the average person is going through and who doesn't. Rhetorically, we might say and I think fairly accurately, that those in power haven't the slightest idea. The simple truth is that they don't experience what the average person does. It is as simple as that.
Oh sure they profess they understand but in reality they have no more of an understanding then what they learned in school, heard, or what they percieve. As example, in my opinion one cannot know what a black man feels unless you are black or you have walked in his shoes and vice versa for anyone of any other race. So many may profess or think they understand, have an idea, comprehend, or whatever but until you experience what that person does and has you just don't know. They same holds true for the poor, average and middle class of America.
Now there are many who show themselves as having but if truth were found out they are really as hollow as the Easter Bunny. Yes, these types live on a day to day basis, what comes in goes right out or is already spent before it even gets to them. Yet, they live in nice homes, they dress well, they surely have a new and fairly expensive car, they go on vacation, their kids want for nothing and they eat out a lot. Yes, they are most likely the ones who charge it all to a business. Yet, in the secret of their hearts they worry from one day to the next if that will suddenly come to a stop. When it does it is sometimes over whelming to them.
Now the real haves are the ones who really don't need money and they have more credit then they can handle and can move about without reaching in their wallet. They do all the things that the above do but with one difference, they can afford to. However both, in my opinion, think the same except one made it and has it and one projects they made it.
Now these types rarely have any problem with anything. They just can't seem to understand why people have problems when they never do. In fact usually these types only care about one thing, making more money and producing more wealth. They really and truly do not care if you live in a shack, a middle class home or a box. That is your problem to find a solution to and while there is truth in that there is also a responsibility to love of neighbor.
Yes, it can be said that they attend church, profess God, give to Charity. Many give because they have to. It is good business. They build a museum with their name on it. Open an Opera house or an art studio or give to their favorite college. Some do give to the needy, the poor, the hungry. Some, not all. Yes, it is fact they leave the real charity to average and poor people. However, they get the press when they give. Yes, and it simply amazes them so that every day people have problems and they have a hard time grasping it. Well the ones who truly have never will understand and the ones that are just keeping their heads above water won't either, that is until it all caves in.
Now certainly all companies that interact with people have Customer Service departments. These are the people who are supposed to assist their valued customers. That is until you miss a payment, are late or have to resolve a continuing problem.
Yes, as I stated, this is something average and the poor people deal with each and every day, day in and day out and something the haves delegate to others to deal with and in reality never ever have to face. They just have no idea, nada, nothing. They never get to hear, experience or know what it is like to talk to someone in Argentina, the Philippines, India or anywhere else that people who work for these compamies and who claims to speak English yet evidently by nature of my own and others experience don't really comprehend or understand a damn thing your talking about, or for that matter think through a situation and know what to do. So this is not about being good, decent, or hard working. No, this is about being able to do the job!
It is really so sad that you want to help them through the process because many of them are actually very nice. Yet, what you need at that time is someone to just help you with the problem. Yes, the haves never have to listen to the idiotic automated attendants they love that they think saves them money or never-ending menus. They never have to listen to someone asking you to repeat your account number, enter your social security number and a host of other questions to protect us, the customer. Just how many times must the same information be given? They will never be passed to someone else and the same process starts all over again, or instead of getting a person and making sure they get on the line with you, no, they give you a mailbox or the attendant again and it starts all over again. Yes, this is Customer Service in this century. Then we shouldn't forget and God help us if we say the truth and offend those who stole and using phony ID, drivers Licenses, Social Security and they think asking us who are a thousand miles, or ,3 or 4 away that this is going to protect Americans? Needless to say those Customer Service reps outside the U.S. have all your information right on file. Just how stupid have we become? Yes, you cant fix stupid as the comic, says.
So the signs of the haves is they never have to deal with any of this. They have their staff their go for people, their assistants, who do the dirty work. That is the true sign of the real haves. Now another sign of the haves who own or runthese companies and large corporations is the fact that you can never contact them. They have layer upon layer of protection and you will never reach them. They have all sorts of titled people who "handle the Customer.

So I don't doubt there are many who never had a problem because these are most likely whom I just described.I guess I don't have a fault with that just that they don;t ever understand the mess that is at hand. Don;t think so, then in my opinion ask any average person, trying to make ends meet, trying to survive and you will probably get an entirely different answer then what they percieve?
Now having wealth and money is not wrong. I never ever said that. Having money does not make everyone bad, uncaring, or not decent and good people. I never said that. But, when you hear a person complaining about their taxes, they finding it hard to live, things are getting tight, check out where they live, check out the car they drive, check out the new clothes they wear every day, check out the secluded gated village they reside in, check out their Golf cart, go to church and see what they drive up in. Yes, check out the signs and symbols that surround them and listen carefully when they say I don't understand it, we never had a problem and then you now know why.
2008 and 2010 a time for change!
