It's a SICK, SICK, SICK WORLD! - Garner Ted Armstrong - January 1965

Garner Ted Armstrong

Ever attend a Political Convention? Ever listen in on a used-car salesman's pitch? Ever listen to builders, owners and architects haggle? Ever heard the method used in Real Estate sales? How much TRUTH did you hear? How much HONESTY? How much TRUST, FAITH, INTEGRITY? If this article sickens you - you may be better off than you think. What an age! In the world's richest nations, there is more stealing, thieving, robbing, cheating and lying than in those stricken by poverty! In the United States, for example, Mr. Average Citizen has a big chip on his shoulder. He feels cheated. Why? Why, because of income tax, state tax, Federal taxes on his automobile, his cigarettes and beer. Because of hidden taxes, excessive costs, dozens of appeals for money from religion, charity, poor and welfare funds, community projects, and his own family. He feels cheated - and so he hopes to find opportunity to cheat - just a little. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
