POOR RICHARDS REPORT
Chapter 21
Family
In the Old Testament of the Christian Bible the good and great kings had good mothers. By good, I mean of the same faith. Many of the kings married for political reasons and if they had a child naturally that child reflected the wishes of the mother.
One of the main lessons from the Old Testament is that women are very important. While the male part of the family was running the country, in this case Israel, or Judea , the mother had the influence on the child. Also, many played a major role in the history of Israel.
The moral here is success is not determined by how much money one makes, it is shown by how well your children do. It all boils down to family.
One can have earned a billion dollars, but have rotten kids. Spoiled brats! The world is full of them.
These days we have lost control of family values. Instead, we greedily seek wealth and today the world is swimming in dollars while watched are the wretched poor.
The similarity of what happened 3000 to 2000 years ago is scary in the 21ist century. Please remember the Almighty is slow to anger. Maybe because years to us are just days to HIM.
Back then, who had the wealth controlled the water and baths. Women had to bathe.
Today bankers control the wealth. Most women need and want money. Not all but most do. Females seek security and men are supposed to provide it. Of course there are always exceptions to the rules.
Today we are sacrificing our sons and daughters by not letting them pursue their chosen careers in most cases.
Summary
The new Congress will take office officially in January 2015 and we will be able to truly test the power of the US Constitution. The Congress will be representing one segment of the country, the President the other, and then we have the US Supreme Court to settle disputes and declare laws as valid or not. The is truly the checks and balances that framers of the US Constitution envisioned over 200 years ago. So feel free to voice your concerns about the honesty of our financial system. There should be financial freedom for honest endeavors, but we should also have strong “Umpires” that have the power to stop thievery in it’s tracks right at the very beginning, before lawyers can muck up the intent of the laws. Their mantra should be “for the common good of the individual” not the wealthy.
All my ideas and proposals have been stated in previous chapters and articles, and I hope you pass them along to your representatives if you desire to.
This applies to all nations, for our earthy financial health depends upon a common ground of trust and honesty.

My next project will be on the Armenian question which I considered the biggest con job in modern history. Turkey was not Turkey when it happened; just part of the Ottoman Empire.
Mustafa Kemal became the First President of the Republic of Turkey. October 29, 1923 became Republic Day and has been celebrated as a National Holiday ever since.
My final point has to do with the separation of Church and State.
Turkey is rich in biblical history since much of the New Testament happened in modern day Turkey. Turkey was also involved in the breakup of the Holy Roman Empire. It also has a major Muslim population.
When Turkey became a recognized nation in 1923, Ataturk emphasized the separation of Church and State by declaring “ anyone wearing a Fez tomorrow will be shot. The next day one could not find a Fez. Turkey became a modern and advanced nation versus your southern neighbors because of Ataturk’s reforms. He is surely one of the great world leaders of the 20th Century.
We in the United States of American were also formed with the idea of separation of church and state. We all believe in one superior being and if we all followed our fundamental teachings of love, honor and respect for each other we would have a much more peaceful world.
So I would like to close with the Christian Lord’s Prayer for I believe every sentence has meaning for of all of us earthly human beings.
“ OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN HALLOWED BE THEY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME,THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN!
