There is nothing new here we all know the story, America is hurting, businesses are failing, good people are losing their jobs, homes, cars, retirement pensions, medical insurance.
I am becoming an expert on the subject for you see I am one of those people.
If you will indulge me for a minute I would like to briefly explain my situation and part of my solution.
I was gainfully employed as the parts manager by Duraco Inc. a company that manufactures pothole patchers and large emulsion storage tanks. Business had been good to Duraco for a number of years but the rising cost of steel, fuel and just about everything else was taking it's tole. Just as we have to plan for uncertain economic times in our personal lives the companies we work for have to do likewise. The company told us the economy was becoming unstable, business was slowing down and they had to prepare for uncertain times. We started seeing cutbacks, decreases in buying, and eventually personnel being laid off. I and several others got the ax. Ouch, but life goes on.
It is a scary time for the Bullard home but I am ready and able to work, God gave me a mind to think with and I intend use every means possible to stay on my feet. I have a plan that I believe is good for America and my family so here goes, are you ready.
Trickle down economics, and I don't mean giving trillions of dollars to failing banks and auto companies, I mean spending money wisely with healthy business in such a way as to help ourselves and the economy.
I urge you, yes plead with you to be a good American, do your part, save America, buy a book.
That's right you heard me buy a book, any book just buy a book. Do it now right here don't hesitate, click that banner and buy a book.
Why should I you ask?Because it is good for America and the unemployed namely me.
We are all watching to much TV and for the most part it is a bunch of junk, mindless entertainment that will in no way make you a better person. A book on the other hand is good for the soul, it stimulates the mind, you can grow personally, spiritually, physically, financially, from the nuggets found in the reading of a good book.
But how does this help America and the unemployed, let me explain.
When you buy a book from the special link on this page you are supporting Amazon, Amazon employees a lot of people and your purchase helps these good people keep their jobs. The authors that wrote those books benefit from your purchase and that helps keep the authors financial sound. The publishers that edit and print those books are able to keep their employees busy and publish even more books, then there is the paper company, the tree farms, agriculture suppliers, UPS, ink companies, yes sir those dollars trickle down in ways you never even thought of. Just think about what that little book you buy can do for our economy.
But what about the unemployed? For one it helps keep employed people in all sorts of fields employed so our unemployment numbers will not continue to rise at such an obscene rate, a very good thing if you ask me. Helping stabilize one industry affects many others in a positive way. It is not rocket science it is common sense. At least one unemployed person will benefit from your book purchase, namely me, because if you click on the banner on this page and buy a book Amazon will reward me with a little cash and that enables me to pay my light bill and mortgage and so on. By me paying my bills the utility company has a reduced collection problem and they are able to continue to provide jobs and services to the good citizens in my community. The bank will not have to foreclose on my house and they can remain more solid as a mortgage lender, thereby providing more loans for good people in my community to buy the homes they need and desire. I will once again become a productive member of society because you have chosen to support our economy and buy a book.
The benefit to you is the enrichment of your mind and in so doing knowing that you have helped your country and a poor broke unemployed guy in Mississippi. Now don't you feel better already?
But I implore you not to stop there, no sir, find an excuse to send a link for this blog page to everyone you know so they too can be good Americans and help save this economy because it is going to take a lot of books to fix what is wrong in this country.
Yes this is a shameless attempt to sell books for which I do not apologize, go ahead click that banner buy a book today.
