They do concern me.
Think of it this way. Take Judge Judy; for one lousy show, she receives far more dough than MILLIONS of good and hard-working folks make in a lifetime that are grunting out their lives in important jobs but which pay them peanuts because many consider them menial and, too, because they often don’t require much education or training.
Those many millions of folks are doing the best with their meager God-given abilities and I can’t think of one logical reason why those machines that print out money morning, noon and night ought not have a few more bucks going into their pockets so that they can feel loved and respected by getting more than just a few crumbs than the current construct gives them.
I listen to my fair share of conservative talk-show radio and I hear many of those dudes hammer on about how what a wonderful and fair system this is, and supposedly how “everybody has the same shot at success in this country if they’re willing to work hard for it.”
That sounds great but it’s not true. Judge Judy, like so very many of these other gazillionaires out there, has benefitted big time by the musical chairs aspect to the current construct. And that’s something she nor any of the Limbaughs out there ever make a mention of, and for good reason.
It’s not so much that Judge Judy is in many ways a joke of a judge (even though she’s clearly very bright), as we see her time and again involve her bailiff in ill exchanges of what a ditz she thinks a plaintiff is, or how she tramples on normal courtroom protocol by hollering at someone having their case heard with an – “I’m smarter than you’ll ever be!,” or how she sometimes rudely SCREAMS at someone merely sitting in the witness booth, “Get up here!”
My main problem with her and others like her … is that those dark(??) forces behind the scenes have anointed these people with being winners in a game of musical chairs. And said game starts with one’s genes.
Just consider Winfrey. Can anyone honestly point to even one thing that she’s ever said or done that would make sense for her to have received all that big dough the construct we live under has placed in her lap?
The answer is no.
She’s a person with modest speaking talents that was literally taken by the hand with a great many doing her hair and makeup, taking care of the technical TV camera stuff, scheduling guests, researching topics, … and then escorting her out to an obsequious TV audience where someone sitting off to the side hits the Applause switch for her!
It’s all a farce on so many levels, it really is.
And while I’m no big fan of Bill Gates and his wife on account of them discriminating against poor Caucasian males by not giving them financial help as they do with all of the other groups of poor kids, I put him and all of his billions in a different category simply because he (and yeah; he did have some help) created a great thing and lots of folks benefit in many ways, including having well-paying jobs.
It’s not all black and white. And for me personally, while I enjoy doing my part to help open people’s thinking in new ways, I don’t stress out about any of it because at the end of the day it’s only what The Good Lord thinks of a person, and not a lot else (by comparison) matters.
