Hello fellow True Christians!
With the new school season just starting up, I realize that many of you are concerned with the rising cost of education. Seems like everything gets more expensive all the time, and if you're balancing mortgage payments with credit card debt and wage cuts due to all the illegal aliens taking your jobs, it can be tough to make ends meet.
I know that most of you fine folks live in God's chosen country, the USA, or else other Christian nations like Europe (even if it is infiltrated by socialists worse than Obama!). But I think this is a good time to spare a thought for those of us who are forced - for employment reasons - to live in Asia. As most of you know, I live in Hong Kong, essential in my business of finding the best deals on goods manufactured by prison labor in China.
What you probably don't know is how expensive it can be to live here. This is a crowded city, and real estate is outrageously priced. I don't want to even tell you how much I had to pay for my little house on The Peak, and as you can see, I don't even have enough space to grow a lawn, let alone have a private runway for my Lear Jet:
My tiny house in Hong Kong
Fortunately, I do have a large enough roof for landing a helicopter. Considering how bad the traffic is here, that's not a luxury, but rather a necessity.
Anyway, like everything else here, education is expensive. While I don't have any kids (that I'd acknowledge), a lot of my CEO friends that I play golf with at the Hong Kong Country Club do indeed have family. And since the Chink Stock Market recently took a beating, some of them are wondering how they're going to afford tuition, transportation and boarding fees for their children. A lot of the kids got long commutes, and costs add up fast.
Seeing the kids off to school
I got no quick and easy solution for this problem, but I thought I'd mention it so ya'll can say prayers for my friends. Times are tough, and with a presidential election coming up next year, we got lots of expenses purchasing candidates who can keep the bailouts coming. It's a problem that formerly middle class trailer trash never get to see. I personally think that we - the 1% that create jobs - are the most persecuted minority in the world.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
