Ok Zero From Zero Is Still Zero, Right?

I just do not understand this. Ok zero from zero is still zero, right? Many people are finding it tough to survive. So when your friendly banker calls or "their representative" and says you owe just what don't they understand about zero from zero equals zero. Yes you owe them and that is fact and yes they are entitled to be paid, fact, yet just what do threats and destruction buy them?
Ok lets do it this way for simplicity. These are examples for purposes of the article and to make understanding easier.
Lets say that in December 2007 you were very credit worthy, paid you bills and on time and were for the most part that ideal customer. Through a situation not of your choosing you fell on financially hard times. We can certainly discuss any number of things that may be at the core of it all because some out there will say you were irresponsible that is a given but not what this is about.
So your home was worth lets say $250,000 is now worth $130,000 and you owe $200,000. We can explore the variables of why but once again not pertinent.
Your car which you got that great deal was purchased for $13,000, not bad these days, you still owe $11,000 and your told it is worth $4500.00. Net value on both ZERO. You are in the red.
Ok savings account depleted paying your creditors, nothing, nada, zero.
Retirement used, non existent and you paid a penalty to use that money to pay your creditors.
Checking account, food, clothing, rent, gas, utilities, phone, survival equals balance left zero.
Your banker wants to be paid and rightly so. The question is how? So threats, innuendo, name calling, harassment, liens and anything else they can do and will do, yes even take your pay another blessing from those in power add up to zero. Shut off your utilities, to quote one representative to a young couple, we run business we are not a service for the handicapped, elderly, children or the sick. Pay or else and if you don't pay by 12 noon we will add more late fee's. Yes from our county owned utility and we the taxpayers pay them to be our employee. Your fired.
So they take you to court. Haul you before the judge and rulers. What will they get? What will the judge hear? You got it the same. Zero, from zero is still zero. Take it all, it is worthless, material goods. Do you want the clothes, take them, do you want furniture, take them, you have already taken a persons life, destroyed them, ruined them, crushed them and left them in the street. Yes and tell me these are not the end times, please. You fulfill prophesy more then you know.
Many call them irresponsible, and lump all together and never look at the causes. Some yes by nature of bad choices, but look at the system that created them and then don't set aside those who fell on hard times not of their own making. Yes you who have who sit in places where you are safe because you are fortunate, yes planned well and are not impacted, well you just may want to look at what you just lost at the hands of your champions? Why, but for the grace of God there you may also be. Yes rich man remember Gods words, to paraphrase in a flash it all may just be gone.
Yes fact - no job, can't pay, can't pay no credit, no credit, can't buy, can't buy, Bye, Bye , it is that simple. So for the General Welfare Bull. Professor in Christ, for many just that, professor only nothing but words not supported by deeds. Compassion, love of neighbor, mercy, please. You find it in their works.
Empty, hollow, the Easter Bunny, all package. Yes let them eat cake. Yes and we still elect these same types. If that alone is not a sign of our nation and people and these times what is? 94% say one thing but many do another. Many of their works stand before them as conviction but they still get elected. No in my opinion these times are all about the separating more then many care to know.
If I offend sorry, I write to what is my belief and opinion and experience. My religious beliefs I impose on no one since it is an individual choice. However, zero from zero is still zero and why, just why, don't they understand that? The answer like I said, they do not need to or care to.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)No Robert, they don't get it; do not 'have' to get it; do not 'want' to get it but some will get it when it's too late for them. It's when they'll hear, "depart from me, I know you not." They would have been workers of iniquity against their brothers and sisters. I can't rejoice over that for I would much rather see them get it now, just as you would. Saying and doing what is right would benefit many who are struggling to survive, yet those with the power to help, as you have addressed, simply won't. No, I am unable to get any satisfaction knowing what their punishment will be. Like you, I wish to see people prosperous in every facet of life. You're not alone in this, my dear friend and you correctly did the Math. Zero from Zero is Still a big fat Zero! They will soon discover they may have been the "haves" but are the real zeros.
