Excellent example. What sounds like a joke to begin turns out to be nothing funny at all. Even as simply put people still, will not get it and continue to bash. I am no where near wealthy yet, (well, at least not monetarily) but have no fear I continue to reach for the sky.
Recently, just about every time we have spoken on the phone, we somehow end up talking about India and outsourcing work there. We really need to face it, we (America) are our own worst enemy. Many of our problems and wounds are self-inflicted. The way I see it is; You want to keep your money right? Then here is my take. Gene walks into store A to buy a product and while in line to purchase said product. Gene over hears that store B has the same product for %50 percent less. Gene abandons the product on the nearest shelf and heads over. After saving umpteen amounts of money at store B. Gene now realize’s she can purchase those much needed snow tires for her car, but passes on the idea putting the money in her pocket. Meanwhile on Gene’s way home she is on her cell phone complaining about wage cuts and layoffs how bad things have been since the company move manufacturing down to Mexico 3yrs ago. In the midst of Gene’s ranting, she is late to react to a red light and without the new tires she slides through it. Gene is broadsided by another vehicle. Gene is alive because the car company she worked for that moved it’s manufacturing into Mexico was able to put 4 million back into safety development. Thus putting more safety features such as ” Side impact airbags”, “Crumple zones” and even “On Star” in vehicles that other wise would only be available to guess who? Yep! the wealthy. It really goes to show there is more to money than what gets put in your pocket. I like to put things on a grander scale than just some miser on a throne overseas collecting his gold. Just a perspective..
