Ka-Ching!

Sarah Palin in her debate said "Let's do what our parents told us before we probably even got that first credit card. Don't live outside of our means. We need to make sure that as individuals we're taking personal responsibility through all of this. It's not the American peoples fault that the economy is hurting like it is, but we have an opportunity to learn a heck of a lot of good lessons through this and say never again will we be taken advantage of." You know what, this statement from Sarah turned me on! It reminded   me of a wonderful song of Shania Twain. I love Shania's beautiful songs. What is common between Sarah and Shania. It is Ka-Ching! Here is the lyrics of Ka-Ching!

We live in a greedy little world -
that teaches every little boy and girl
to earn as much as they can possibly -
then turn around and
spend it foolishly
we create it as a credit card mess
we send the money that we don't possess
our religion is to go and blow it all
so it's shoppin' every sunday at the mall
all we ever want is more
a lot more than we had before
so take me to the nearest store

Chorus:
Can you hear it ring
it makes you wanna sing
it's such a beautiful thing - ka-ching!
lots of diamond rings
the happiness it brings
you'll live like a king
with lots of money and things

When you're broke go and get a loan
take out another mortgage on your home
consolidate so you can afford
to go and spend some more when
you get bored


The above part that I have highlighted is exactly what is happening to our economy, and especially to mortgages. If you ask me, Sarah Palin and the RNC should get rights to this song and play it over and over in their commercials. They should show Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and others responsible for this mess. There was never any individual responsibilities and accountability that led to this mess.
