A day in the life of the self made man.

139. Great post..

Got everyone thinking..

There was some post about people doing fraud - free loaders on the system......I would like to comment on that.

I used to be a fraud analyst...My field was in telecommunication so there was ID fraud, Cell phone fraud, and credit card fraud and also dealer/agent fraud. First of all, compared to the dollars profited by the company I worked for,r it was so little, even though it amounted to millions some years. Management did not really care. It took years for me to get over that.

Agent fraud was good!!! It made the company look better...They really did not care about people being victims of ID fraud or that their credit cards were used to purchase or make payments on the company's profits.

The company made money from the law agencies for charging for search warrants.

It was profitable in some ways....made the numbers look good.

It was acceptable.

But let me say this again the percentage of fraud was not big compared to the profits made..

I believe no one is self-made. We are all in this boat together, on this road together. Some of us are fortunate to have our health, good families and friends to help us along. Some are alone and need assistance. We should not begrudge people...

I have a niece who had a good education and is smart but she shocked me so much when she said she didn't want to be paying for anyone else's health care. She said she got good health care from work and why should she pay for anyone else's. She is a mother and said she did not care if other children did not have any. She just cared about her own.. Obviously she is a Republican.

I am just an old hippy progressive who does care. Hope that Obama wins and that a Democratic senate and congress is his to make America the best again.
