Interesting Tidbits

Have you all noticed how the middle class is slowly dissipating from America? It seems there are only 2 classes now in America: the rich and the poor!!! That is right, baby, no more middle class!!! Is that good or bad?? That is definitely bad!! The gap between the rich and the poor is bigger today!! The rich are getting richer; look at the soaring stock market and the huge bonuses the CEO's and President's of the companies are getting! On the other hand, the poor are getting poorer, which is most of us! There is high unemployment, many foreclosures and lots of families drowning in debts! For one thing, our government have sooo much power and corporations are being catered by the government big time!! Our founding fathers must be turning on their graves for what is happening to our dear country!! The wealthy sure is enjoying the economic recovery while most of us are struggling!!! I read that facelifts for men rose 14 %. Are these the "vain" men from Wall Street?? The average bonus on Wall Street for 2010 was $128,530!!! Can you believe that??? That is ridiculous!!! Why can't this people share their wealth with everyone like our dear president said during his campaign?? While the Wall Street people get good bonuses, employee compensation has been the lowest in 50 years!! Not only that, unemployment rose in 351 of the 372 largest cities in the Unted States!!! How about sale of luxury items? That increased also! Million dollar home sale rose 18.6 %, private jumbo jet sales are soaring, Porsche sales increased by 29 %, luxury jewelry retailer Tiffany and Co announced an increase in profits by 29%, Cadillac sales are up by 36 %, Rolls royce reported an increased in sale by 171%. You and I could not afford any of these luxurious items....so who are buying these??? The rich people of course! We do not even go shopping now because of the high cost of gasoline and food!!! Thank goodness we have some TV programs that we can watch to keep us entertained!!! I could go on and on but I am just sooo disgusted with the way that our society is heading into!!! Share the wealth indeed!!! Did you all know that there are more than a million families that lost their homes due to foreclosure, and that is expected to increase in 2011??? Yikes!!! Unemployment is at a standstill at over 10 %, same as last year; half of American workers make only $25,000/ year or less?? How could you afford anything earning just this amount while an average CEO makes 185 times more money than an average American worker! No wonder Porsche has announced it is taking orders now for their first hybrid - 918 Spyder! Cost?? A whopping $845.000!!! Wow!! The old, balding men are back into the sports car trick to get young, good looking chicks!!! Yup!!! The dirty old man is back!!! What is our world getting into??? Today, there are an all time high of 44 million Americans on food stamps!!! That is really crazy!! Our once great country has really gone to the dogs!!! What are we to do?? Pray... that our government will open it's eyes to what is happening to their citizens and do something!!! They should really spread the wealth, not only to corporations but to everyone!!! After all, a happy citizen is a happy country, is it not??? May God bless all of us!!! Let us all pray for world peace!!!
