Rant Alert!

Not a day goes by lately where we don't hear about yet another company eliminating thousands of jobs. It makes me sad to hear this type of news. I can't help but see these cuts as nothing other than blatant hypocrisy. The man making millions a year gets a bonus he doesn't need for pushing a man barely getting by, out of work. Not just one, but thousands of people are now jobless, and for what? For a 10 cent increase in stock price. An increase that benefits those who don't need more money. I'm just so frustrated. How many millions of dollars do people need? I once heard it said that Michael Eisner (former CEO of Disney) made so much money that if there was anything less than a $100 bill on the ground it would not be worth his time to bend over and pick it up. That's ridiculous.

I'm also tired about social security being talked about in Congress. I may have even mentioned this before, but there is a cap on what a person pays into it. I say eliminate that cap. The people making millions a year stop paying social security after a couple months. The rest of the year, they don't pay a dime. Why is it always those who need it the most that are required to pay a larger percentage?

Ramble ramble.

Why does a person need another $100 million? What are you going to do with it? How can the world tolerate people like Paris Hilton whose sole accomplishment in life was starring in a home made sex tape? Yet it's people like this that are all over the news. The freaking news! If something happens to an attractive white woman it's all over the place. Everything else? Forget it. When I got to www.cnn.com and see items like Paris Hilton in the top news headlines it really bothers me. This isn't news. It's garbage. The so called news
