24. Is the real message this?

Go ahead a die you old people.

We've been waiting on it for too long! We have to WORK and we don't like this option so just go ahead and die for the sake of those of us that want that money now!

******
Sadly, when the time comes, its looking like not a dime will be left. I'll be lucky to have a car to live in if this continues. If anything is left, it is willed to care for my cats, the only living thing I have around me that seems to give a damn.

The sheer GREED of others never fails to astound me.

Read your Bible they say.

I did and yes, GREED is one of the seven deadly sins no matter which Bible you read, its all right there.

The kid up the street was offering to pull weeds for $30/hr.

I did it for nothing or for fifty cents for an entire day of work if I got anything at all.

I sent him on his way and he was ashamed when I told him that I cleaned filthy houses for $2.00/hr. Not $200.00, not $20.00, $2.00, aka $16.00 a day for ass busting work cleaning up the filth of others. All under the table work it was for a 16 year old teenager that needed money to buy necessities with. I grew up poor and I'm still poor.

So you end up with next to nothing thanks to inflation, the killer of all killers amongst us. Kinda evil at best.
