Rants about riches

Do you ever stop to think what really makes the world turn, what propels us forward? Every day you either get up to go to work, or you get up to see someone off to work, or you go to school so that one day you'll get a good job, and you guessed it....go to work. Why do you work? Is it really to find fulfillment, no, it's to be able to live. Do you ever wonder how you make it to the top? First on the list, have money.

If you weren't born into money, then you need to know people with money.....and so the world turns.

Some of our most profitable companies fund wars, so that you guessed it, they can make more money selling the parts to assemble the ammunitions. Where are the moral people, where are people's ethics? Were there ever any?

I am soo sick and tired of the first question on everyone's mind when you have a great idea, is, where will you get the money. Hmmm....maybe I should sue the government for taking all of the money that they do from my check. I should sue them because they are so unwilling to give it back to you when you need it. They consider "how much you make"...as if you'd be asking if you didn't need to be?

For all of those out there who haven't seen the movie Idiocracy, I suggest you rent it. No doubt, with all of the funds given to those on welfare, and the women out there popping out babies like chickens do eggs, our world will end up an illegitimate place of turmoil...already is. Not quite as bad yet as the movie portrays, but seriously we do have some major idiots in control.

I spoke with an attorney yesterday unwilling to take on a suit for us because the good 'ole boy state of Texas, with the emphasis right now on big business has imposed a non-economic cap on suits of $250,000. It would cost close to $100,000 to even get the case in court. Then because it is convoluted, with many physicians involved, it would be impossible to get the jury to see your case clearly. Well, the real reason the cap was imposed was not to stop frivolous lawsuits, but to quell lawsuits, knowing no money sucking attorney out there would get within 10 feet of the matter if he knew he might be out some doe. The real reason to impose such a ridiculous piece of tort reform was to keep doctors and not lose them to the over demand of you guessed it money from the insurance companies to get malpractice insurance.

You spend 2 months in Intensive Care, with your insurance cap being met of $1million dollars and the highest amount you can sue for is $250,000???? Brilliance. You are truly at the mercy of those with the money.

Then, instead of suing you try to do something positive, hoping that maybe there's a way to get the message out there?? And, you consider something like, I don't know, a bracelet that costs 35 cents to have produced, and you get the comment, where are you going to get the money for that....hmmm....maybe I should bribe the morons that made it necessary for me to think of such a ridiculous notion in the first place. The doctors.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, but that's how one rants.
