If I had a dollar for every idiot...

If I had a dollar for every idiot I talk to, I'd be a very rich man. It is still hard for me to believe that there are so many absolutely worthless people in this world. As a Christian, I would like to have better feelings toward these people, but unfortunately I don't.

Just today, I had a guy call. He was very interested in one of my 2-bedroom houses. I always ask the applicant about their previous criminal record and any evictions before I go to meet them. This guy said that he had never been evicted and had only traffic tickets on his record. I happened to be on the computer at the time I was talking to this guy and so I looked him up right there on the spot. He had been evicted 3 times in the last 2 years including once in 2008! He also had 3 pages of criminal history, including 2 theft charges in the last year. WHAT A SCUMBAG (AND A LIAR)!

It would be nice if this was the exception to the rule, but here in my little corner of Ohio, this is the rule. In fact, about 95% of the people I talk are losers that I can not rent to. How did our country get to be in such a mess? I blame it on all the entitlements and handouts that our nation has given out over the past 50 years. We have turned people into victims who depend on the government for their every need. I think that is VERY SAD!

If the socialists get their way, we will be handing out even more entitlements and making even more people victims. Universal health care and ending poverty will be a fast start to the destruction of our country. Speaking of poverty, I haven't seen it. I have dozens of tenants, many of whom don't work. They receive all their money thanks to you and me, the taxpayers of this country. Even though they don't work and are the "poorest of the poor", I have yet to see a single one that doesn't have cable tv. When the poorest of the poor, have a big screen tv with cable and a cellphone, you know they aren't really "poor". A better word would be LAZY!

I haven't had anyone lie -- that I knwo of but I have gotten "gut feelings" about people and it seems to be correct feelings. When and applicant tells me his "story" we tell them they need to fill out an application. Usually we never hear from hat person again.
I had one lady tell me a bunch of stuff that sounded great yet I never heard from her again either. I am guessing they were probably liars but I didn't get a chance to find out. I'm new at this for the most part and I am sure we will run into a liar or 100's of them by the time we are done.
