What Do People Fear, Survey Said; Iraq War, Global Warming and Disappearing Middle Class
Well the results are in for the annual Online Think Tank survey of what people fear most and not surprisingly the amount of air-time in the media once again has dictated what people fear most.
Iraq War:
Indeed, well I guess I cannot blame people for fearing this one, as my brother was on the Border of Syria and Iraq for two months, I hear you there and he has a flight contract, but they needed more USMC folks there for the elections; remember the “Purple Fingers” when the Iraqis voted? They wanted to keep out the flow of folks trying to disrupt it all.
Dwindling Middle Class:
I believe part of the Middle Class issue is truly due to consumer debt. Where the standard of living that folks came accustomed too and their lifestyles could only be kept up by credit card charging. If folks would live within their means this might not be such a huge problem. The average (actually 68%) American Worker is over 150% annual income in short term debt.
Many say debt is a choice. Others point to the credit cards as their only option to survive. That is an issue too. As I watch Lou Dobbs and his comments I often yell; OVER REGULATION, that is causing the Off-Shoring and Out-Sourcing. The closing of our mines and raw materials and thus the cost to import materials adds again to the cost of production. Over regulation, over-lawyering all means less ability for the company to remain viable, profitable and therefore cuts are made in production and personnel and that kills the middle class, especially some good paying jobs.
Global Warming:
Well you must admit that the media is in full-swing on the Global Warming and CO2 emissions issues. Everyday in every newspaper you see a story that relates something to climate change.
And there you have it, what people fear the most. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
