Somehow feel powerless.
What is the point in working so hard, paying your taxes, voting, trying to be a good citizen when you know that
half of your work goes to fund things you do not support (thanks to tax money),
another tenth of your work goes towards the garbage into unscrupulous hands (your retirement money) and
another thirty percent goes into mortgage at ridiculous rates when there is a whole bunch of guys enjoying free money out there!
Just plain tired..
they might as well give me a ration card and some food stamps. Maybe my health will improve and I will be less stressed out?
Should we even bother to teach our kids to be responsible when the irresponsible seem to have an upper hand today? or should I just ask my kids to just figure out "how to beat the system"?
After leaving you with that thought, really wanted to change the mood of the post with some joke.. but not one comes to mind.
The joke, really is on me!
ps. A friends neighbor (only an aquaintance of mine) has bought three houses with each house being loaned based on previous house with different banks, and has bought two jet skis, a hawaii vacation, rented the entire floor of a San Francisco popular destination for his daughters 16th birthday party (apparently it is a tradition for people from that country) and he has no collateral on anything except the houses because he has no down payment in any of the houses. Dude says he has nothing to lose, considering he has already spent all the money!!!
Bob Dylan's voice echos through my head right now as I go to bed..
