Do You Really Think They Care About You?

Now in continuing my theme, this article is strictly opinion, mine, but I am sure there are many out there who can join me in the same opinion? In fact the papers have been kind in substantiating what I have been writing to for years now. Not that I like it, as I said I would rather be wrong. Too bad it hasn't turned out that way. Just facts my friends.
First of all in my opinion a man has to have character other wise one is wasting their breath trying to talk to them. Now how do you recognize and determine good character in someone? Well "we shall know them by their works", that is what they have done [ key done] and [failed to do], yes failed to do. No, it is not in what they profess or say. In other words anyone can say anything. That is worthless without the deeds that support those words. Enough said on that, the majority don't care anyway. Birds of a feather, exactly.
Yes and even as the President said, " a man must do what he knows [and get this], in his soul what is right? The use of the word soul implies someone actually cares about what they do and does the deeds that are right, just, fair and for the love and common good of all men. Yes and simply because they profess verbally a belief in someone higher then us all that does not mean they actually do what they profess. Now we are not talking intent or profession no, not at all, no what they do. Rhetorically to me that is the total tragedy and irony of these leaders in that . "They know not what they do" you think, or just perhaps, just perhaps, they do? Perhaps theya re mixed up soul and belief and somehow money came into the picture along the line, like "money always trumps peace", yes look up trumps and always.
Well once again how can you deny and ignore their works, the fruit of their labor and how can you say it has been for the common good of all Americans? If one considers usury and the blatant disrespect for law as just two simple examples what do we do with all the rest? Yes then I ask how can they talk about soul? How can they say, yes truthfully, how can they say "they feel". and hurt for us" and they feel it deep down, yes deep down in their soul mind you? Rhetorically, it does not compute. Their deeds reflect the complete opposite.
So that said and we look at this nation today just who is credit worthy any longer in these here United States? Their very words "Credit Worthy" and "responsible" in my opinion tell you exactly who they are referring to and who they address and are concerned about. No not you average and poor. No in my opinion you are the cause of their problems and to really think they care for you in any way, well it is utterly unreasonable in my mind. Like I say, it just does not compute. No they are talking to the HAVES. However, you my friends represent the opportunity to talk as being in the light while demonstrating darkness. Yes why would they like someone to say that? That is right they wouldn't. Well let them put their their deeds and their works where their mouth is. They sure talk a good show.
Now from the mouth of the very lenders themselves mind you and once again, if you are not "credit worthy" don't expect those low rates they advertise. Yes they will say they have all kinds of help for, get this "credit worthy" types. So for you having trouble, how many average Americans are "Credit Worthy"? No in my opinion and by experience they have reserved the really good rates [that is good for them, the investors, money, the have people for themselves and their types] but for you, yes you irresponsible types, well they have alternatives. Yes and because we know you have no choice because our leaders have made it that way, yes, these men of honor and soul, they will help you out. Yes they long to help you but yes there is a but, you will just have to pay a premium.
Yes they always have a secondary company they own or are affiliated with that is just happy as a pig in, well you know what I mean, to lend you, at of course that " those "high risk rates" you deserve. Well why not, you are really not responsible you know.
Yes and even as the list of problems continues to grow one right after another growing larger and larger they seem to be oblivious to it all. Have you ever asked why no one seems to care and is in no hurry to fix these issues? Is honor integrity, character in the equations? Is soul and feeling your pain, concern for you in their thinking? In my opinion you can bet you a _ _ it isn't.
So if you don't understand this now you never will and I am not just talking America here. This is a Global issue. There really is no more truth to write to because in fact evidently there is a real issue with caring . Oh sure people moan, groan and complain and many are perplexed as to what is happening and many really can't believe it all.
Here in Florida the biggins are just now understanding the state has sunk beneath the waves. Our Governor, well the man with the positive outlook and million dollar smile and the bright and shining star of the Republicans is out campaigning for the number two spot. Yes only a short while into this mess and he wants out. I guess he wants to try and help the nation. he looks like a sincere nice man but what has he done? Hey if you look at Florida just what does that foretell?. Yes talk to anyone in state government and they are scared for their job. Just read the papers, glean a little here and there from varied articles. Go ask the businessman up the block how business? It is all right before you. Scared, don't want to know, well it will happen anyway my friend. Better know now.
Like I said, car dealers are calling me. Ever hear of that before and that was confirmed just today in a conversation with a person who is also getting calls. When these dealers were confronted they admit things are not so good. Hey a new manager here, one there, why? You got it, how can you sell when there is no one worthy of financing? The banks pretty soon they won't need a loan or mitigation department because they won't be ther either except for the haves. You see you have to be credit worthy to get any help and that percentage is shrinking by the hour. Yes and stillnothing done.
What about business, well they have created a new term for downsizing, reorganizations, layoffs, etc, that is RIGHTSIZING. That means you get to do everything the other person used to do if you want to keep your job. So as these managers, and leaders get laid off and their staffs shrink and they are working longer and longer for less and less and their families dissolve right before their eyes, the haves will demand more and more, why they are at home with their loved ones and if you don't like it well, there are many more who will. Yes, if you don't like it there is the door and you, well you will say yes sir and go about your business. Yes I spoke about the auto workers in Canada getting the shaft in another article and now today Ford announced the same. Who is next?
Oh and you "Baby Boomers" happy about your retirement because well you planned for it and have. Well my friends a real treat is waiting for you when you go to get your funds. Oh don't like to hear this negative writing, well my friends it is the truth if you care to look? You do the math. Who will pay, certainly not the ones who do not have, now will they?
No, not sour grapes just reality facts as they are. Now I don't like writing about the same things but frankly the mainstream media is just now starting to pick up on it. Yet, they won't tell you like it is. Why fear, panic. As I said one must hunt and peck and glean from multiple articles, reporting and books to get the real facts. Then you have to discern from the signs and symbols all about you. Just ask your insurance agent, your policeman, your child's teacher, your local government. It is all about. What more can one say? If it isn't impacting you then you are one who has, for now. If it is then you know exactly what I am talking about.
It is time my friends for the change but real change. If you can place your faith, hopes and trust in these in office then you are like them. It is as simple as that. So it is time to change them, vote them out regardless of who is the opponent. Can we do any worse? Only then in my opinion will we send a message we have had enough. Do nothing and get nothing. It is as simple as that.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Robert, what you've been saying all along extends far beyond our political system, as you very well know. It's in our "religious" systems, too. What is professed is much different from deeds. Greed exists everywhere, even under the disguise of Jesus Christ. One example comes to mind. I have thought of Bible College/Seminary and saw an ad that caught my attention on a very reputable Christian site. I wanted to learn about the school and their accreditation. After reading their "beliefts" etc., I clicked the "accredidation" tab on this school's site. If one did not know what accreditation was, they knew after reading this lengthly article about accreditation. The reader could 'assume' they were fully accreditated but the verbage never said as much. I sent them an email which was never answered. It happens all around us every day. You have let us know we have a voice and should use it at the polls. I agree with you.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thanks Avis for your kind comments. yes I was trying to teach a few years back and needed a teachers degree. I sent in to a supposedly accredited school only to find out they were not.. In fact the state said they shouldn't be open. Here we are 5 years later and they are still going strong with graduates every year. I wrote the state and got the usual ho hum. be safe and happy. Keep smiling my dear friend and hey I like PIC and the smile. best wishes, Robert.Please log in to respond to this comment.
Replace every "accredidation and accreditated" with accreditation and accredited, please. My fingers tend to go astray at times.Please log in to respond to this comment.
