I’m sitting here this morning wondering what to do today on our fourth day of Spring Break, and I’m watching the news. Of course it is mostly about the economy, and something keeps running around in my head.
First, I wonder at what point it was decided that professional athletes should make millions of dollars for what they do. Now I'm not saying that they shouldn't be paid well. But millions, really? How is it that our soldiers aren't paid well enough for what they do but a pitcher for a successful baseball team is raking it in; I don't understand.
Second, what about corporations that will spend millions of dollars for commercials to run during the Super Bowl? If they took just a fraction of that money and put a full page ad in some of the nations major papers saying, we are going to take our millions that would have been spent on a 60 second ad and put it back into our employees... I bet that would get a ton of free press on news networks. I would much rather support that product then the one that runs some silly ad that I won't even remember the product being advertised.
Our nation is out of whack. I don't know what the solution is; I just know that it feels like there is more that the private sector could be doing to promote fiscal responsibility. I don't want the government involved in every little bad decision that is made. We need to step up in our communities and demand more from each other. More reasonability, more empathy, MORE! Don't wait for the government to tell us the right thing to do. We know. We need to quit being lazy and selfish and stop waiting for someone else to take care of the problems around us. We CAN NOT be afraid to get our hands a little dirty now and then. Let’s put our backs into our communities and lift each other up, help each other out and be more than ourselves.
