OMG, wake up America, we need to take our country back from China, if we don’t, then we are no longer the strong, but the weak, we give up our jobs, we give up our businesses, we give up our real estate to China, why aren’t we building solar plants in the USA, give our people jobs. Do not know about most of you, I am so fed up with non-English speaking foreigners who take jobs from US citizens in these off shore call centers. It is bad enough that unemployment has gone wacky, so why not have call centers here in the USA. Instead of buying parts from foreign countries for our products, we make our own parts, bring everything back home and be proud of “MADE IN THE USA” stop the greed in the higher positions, damn people, why is it so important to make more money than you can spend in a life time. Give it to those who can make a difference, who can make one’s life happier, healthier. How do all those foreigners get funding to start their own business, how did they get a credit score? I can’t get a business loan, because my credit score is not high enough, so I am unable to start my small business, I cannot make it possible for job opportunities, and why do celebrities send millions of dollars to help the underprivileged in other countries? Hell, we have more people today, losing homes, losing jobs, losing their families because of financial difficulties. More are now homeless. What about our hungry children on Native American reservations. Have you looked in your own back yard as to who could use your help here right at home, here in the USA? I believe there is a need for our help to the families in the mountains of West Virginia, and other places, the children that do not have medical care, dental care, clothes, schools, what about them?
What about all those billions that the tax payers have to cover for helping the banks, and automotive industries, why not let everyone who is behind on their mortgage, since we are paying for it anyway, move all the default amounts to the end of the loan, so in most cases the banks are adding 5 months to a mortgage, big deal? Get the past due status off everyone’s credit reports, and start giving loans to new small businesses so that the job market will improve.
Isn’t that Obama’s stand? Make financing available for small businesses. What’s the catch? Did it not occur to banks, SBA, USDA, FSA, that people who were impacted by this recession may have lower credit scores now, so what good does it do for those of us who are trying to make a difference and start a business. All they care about is that score which in most cases the info on your credit report is wrong. Why do we need three credit reporting agencies, they all report differently.
While I am on my soapbox, why in hell do all the sports athletes make millions of dollars for playing a game, a game that they played during recess in school? Why do our teachers, our first responders, our military make such small wages. Teachers educate our future leaders, firefighters save your lives, property from danger, and fire damage. Police protect you from crime, and harm, but those ball playing athletes don’t do shit for you on a daily basis as far as educating our children and those of us who want to continue our education, they don’t protect you from fire, they don’t stop child molesters, rapist, con artist, robbers, and the list goes on. However, they commit crimes such as; dog fighting, killing, raping, domestic violence, and we still keep lining their pockets with our hard-earned money. They do nothing to better our country or communities. Why? They are not in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or any country that is a treat to our homeland. My hubby does,
after 23 years in the military, 15 years as a fire fighter/Paramedic, he had to go to Iraq as a contractor firefighter, because he could not make enough here to keep us in our home,(yes we are one of those who could use the help) and keep our nonprofit Rescue working. We have filed our application for 501c3 status. He is there for the next few years or until I can get the business loan, we have tried to get.
We have equity in the home, and we cannot even touch it, we would have a down payment required for the business property we need to buy. I have sent out business plans, and everyone who has read it, has commented how detailed, hard work, lots of research has been put in it, it is well done, professional, but damn credit score gets us every time. So that comes back to why do foreigners get funds from MY Government, MY tax dollars to start their American Dream? I am not a foreigner, I am a Native to America, and my ancestors are Native American, so why can’t I get the funding that I need to make an improvement to our communities and country, MY AMERICAN DREAM. My business plan shows how I can pay the loan back! Or why can’t I find an investor that is will to put money into a small business here before sending money to another country. Now some of you are saying, why is she so down on the “foreigners?” Especially when I say I am not a racist or prejudices, I just want to get the same opportunity as those whom my tax dollar goes to start their American dream, or housing. My roof leaks and the carpet in this house is the original and that is 25 years old, but we don’t qualify for help or can’t get an equity loan, and when we had the hurricane Isabelle do damage to our place, FEMA did not help us, they said we did not qualify? who does qualify, we were out of electricity for 8 days, meaning can’t get water to the animals. We lost 20 plus trees in back pasture, which took out fencing and has sense caused us to lose access to the back pasture.
I have inventions I want to patent, but damn that takes money! I want to start a business, damn that takes money, I want to help the communities that we could open our businesses in, damn that takes money, I want to educate the public on the inhumane way we have allowed our animals, and elderly to be treated, damn that takes money, but you know that would be money well spent, and right here at home.
We want to offer a place to teach, and gain experience one can have when helping other humans and our animal companions. I HAVE A DREAM! Does that sound familiar? I can be as effective as Oprah, and with time be as popular as she is and as financially endowed as she is, my money would be going to help those here in the USA, while the other rich people keep sending money out of the country. Don’t get me wrong, we Americans are always helping those in need in countries that can’t take care of themselves, I would like to see people here at home in the USA get the funds needed first, and schools and clothing , toys for the children, some of them can’t take care of them selves either.
I also learned what my purpose in life is, I am a teacher of the mind and a healer of the soul, I am a creative person, I could do a lot to help people and animals in my interactive connection therapies. You know, when the white men came to the America’s and greeted by the NATIVE AMERICANS. (I am proud to say that is part of my ancestors), what did the white man do, killed, stole, cheated, disbanded, lied to THE NATIVE AMERICANS . Still, we treat them as if they are crap on the bottom of your shoes, but damn, we do give those other foreigners our land, our money, our jobs, our homes, what is going on in this country?
Does anyone know what month we celebrate Native American month? Or honor any Chiefs who were important to their people and to the cause, to make treaty with the white man, Honored warriors? I had to throw this point in, just to see if anyone really comprehends my message.
I have two properties I want to purchase for my business operations to start with. When I find someone who is willing to help a fellow American, who speaks good and understandable English, whose family is part military, active or retired, first responders, justice system, teachers .Most of us are struggling to keep our heads above water before we drown. I can make a difference and help. If I were a different color, or from another country, and not speak very good English, I would not have this difficulty in acquiring a loan or getting a business going that would help rural areas. Does that sound like the way things are happening? To some of you does this scenario sound familiar? I bet there are A LOT of people who have hit the same wall as I have and wonder the same thing I do.
If there is a person, or a group of people, I don’t care what color you are, or what ethnic group your in, as long as you’re from the USA. Get in touch with me about getting things started for our small business, I would be happy to share my business plan that I spent many hours, days, months, and now years in getting it finished. Then we can start making things happen for those here in the USA.
I heard this on TV, and read it on the internet.
Hickman said poverty(we have a lot of people who fall into that class) remains Edwards’ chief cause — it is the issue that he made a centerpiece of his 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns — but he has done his work overseas because of the scrutiny he faces when he goes out in public in the U.S.( So what country does he run to hide in when he can’t take it here?)
“To say that life has been hard for John Edwards for the past year would be an enormous understatement,” said Edwards’ attorney, Wade Smith. ( OMG! PLEASE! )”His life has totally fallen apart. ( NO IT HASN’T! his world will have fallen apart when he loses his job, family home, wife, broke , and no one to give him a bail out with the tax payers money.)It has been a very difficult time for him. He recognizes that he has been at fault.
OH BOO HOO. Has he lost his house, his job, his car, can he get a loan, scratch that, of course he can, look at who he is. John has had a hard time here lately, ( OMG! PLEASE! ) is that because he got caught doing something he shouldn’t have? Can’t keep his pants on when he should? Telling little white lies are we. Now here is another public figure that is doing wrong things, but he keeps making the money, he doesn’t lose his job. What he gets at the end of this, is what he created for himself. I do not like to be around those who do the “poor me” when they got themselves in the mess in the first place.
Okay, I think that is enough for now, I will post again as “My two cents worth”, hope you follow! Maybe we can make a difference together!
