I am sure that most of you are feeling the effects of higher prices in today's economy from gas to groceries, but have any of you noticed that the products are shrinking. Angel Soft tissue has decreased in size by nearly 100 sq. ft for a 12-pack roll and many other products are reducing in ounces, grams and alike while the prices are increasing and jobs remain scarce. Yet as we run out of our weekly items quicker and remain unable to fill our tanks, our government continues to forget that minimum wage is still greatly under the .35 cent per year increase that I spoke of in "The Price to Live" that would have us at $12.70 an hour for minimum wage this year if this had been done yearly since 1978... The American people are not at fault that the lavish lifestyles of the Presidents, CEO and likewise of companies have ran its course. It is called the result of GREED and it continues to show as companies try to find side steps to cutting their expenses while robbing us consumers... So how are we suppose to maintain a comfortable livelihood when gas is costing $4.00 a gallon, milk is $4.50 a gallon, and minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. The figures for average American households are not adding up and there is no true solution to getting the economy back on track, so what happens now? My theory: Companies will continue to reduce the size of their products to save on costs and consumers will continue to buy less products, travel only when necessary, and eliminate some items to live, so where does this leave the economy? Answer: Plummeting
Of course all of us have seen the headlines of the girls half dressed and dancing to Beyonce, but honestly is this acceptable? Some of us believe that girls' dirty dancing is ok, while some of us believe that this is shameful. I believe the topic is an example of careless parenting. There are several Cheetah Girl songs and similar that could have been used in the competition as well as more appropriate outfits. Lets be honest, most of the clothes and uniforms made for minors are not appropriate. Sex sells but it should not sell upon minors. It's sad that some of us think that entertaining peodophiles is ok.
Ok, we know that the world is for or against the health care bill. The world has and always will be for or against something, someone, facts, and opinions....it's just the way it is. But "good" health care is not something that should be given to those who can afford it, it is necessary for our existence.
Is paying taxes fair? No, it never has been fair and it is a topic that would take a decade to finish discussing but in short...We pay taxes to work an underpaid job and on everything we buy and own, but we have little, if any, say so in how the money is used. Because of this, we are in economic downfall as we speak from years of allowing our government to misuse our tax dollars. But we have become complacent with simply complaining and carrying on with the policies that have made the rich richer and the poor poorer. Now that policies are coming forth that will change this, many are upset. Are you upset due to greed? Because if so.... nothing you have is yours, it is the Lord's.
