How do you know blue collar America is reading Dave Ramsey? Another
assumption?
I have a lot of contact with blue collar workers, and if you tell them to
pray for their leaders they will just toss you off the high rise. These guys
and gals are intelligent, they just work in a job that is not white collar.
In talking to them, they know exactly what happened on Wall Street and what
the deal was with the sub-prime borrowing.
Here is a quote:
"when you see a guy driving a Range Rover and he neva had a cah befoah, and
he ain't neva had no money, how the !#@!% did he get it? Widda loan dat he
can't pay! Who the #^^$ was stoopid enough to give him a loan? Sheesh!
Anyway he and his cah disappeahed.
Guranteed: All dialogue verbatim.
They are blue collar, not stupid.
I recommend that you talk to Brad, he is in touch with the real BCA
