Hello friends,
A new example of trickle down economic theory: A $4.4 million pet hotel just opened in Ft. Worth, Tx. $200 a night to board your pet in his/her very own luxury room with maid service.
Here's how the trickle down works: Mr. oil company executive rips off every American, indeed the country, since one reason we are in these economic straights is the high price of energy. (Exxon Mobil: $32 billion PROFIT in 1 quarter) Doctor so and so rips you off so he can make $250 to $400 thousand a year. Mr. car dealer really shoves it to you so he can make $500 thousand a year. Mr. hardware store owner charges you $4.00 for a 30 cent part so he can make $200 grand a year. And on and on. So they can throw away $200 a night to board Rover.
Oh well, they gave 25 construction workers jobs for a year. And a dozen minimum wage workers (probably illegal immigrants) permanent jobs. And I'm sure they have a groomer ($20,000 a year) on staff and a veterinarian on call.
What's wrong with this picture? Outright GREED! What has happened to ethics in this country? Oh, that's right, we kicked Him out of our government, schools, town square, and now they're trying to kick Him out of our private lives too. What happened to business owners who measured their success not by how much money they made, but by how many families they supported through the jobs they created?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against making money, but how much is enough? How big a house do you really need for you, your wife, and your one child? How big a boat is big enough?
Pray for our country,
Dumb Farmer
