Today begins the famous telethon, where, as we all know, is raising funds towards the handicapped people for their progress and / or recovery. My intention is not to criticize the intent of this campaign, I think is a good initiative, but criticize those who are part of it, those who see in this a way to make easy money. In these very beautiful, all TV channels join to be part of the campaign, to the point that if we change the channel on our TV screens we see the same type, the same faces in all channels. These faces are people on the TV, the adorable actors, entertainers, comedians and prostitutes who sell for a moment on television. As we all believe (and those who do not believe those are the same people) they have tremendous cash income in their homes, especially the face of the Telethon: Mario Kreutzberger or commonly Don Francisco (the Guaton stubborn), who comes to Chile only to show up at this time, the rest of the year in Miami. They are responsible for moving people to cooperate, those who could help in a very sustainable if real help to the achievement of the goal. How many times do they go to the bank, how many money put these famous wealthy?, who knows, nobody knows them all. Then comes the other extreme, courageous people, the poor, middle class, hard-left in the bank 5 thousand, 10 thousand dollars for one, two, three times during the day. It is we who make that goal is achieved. If these beautiful faces that appear during the tour of Chile (doing the dance of the koala) and are sold for people to get paid for a kiss, put at least a million pesos (I think they do not hurt), we are talking about about fifty million pesos. Pretty, is not it?.
Others appear to be good guys are mega-firms, selling their products at a higher price than would normally have any other day of the year, because as you know, these mega-corporations that during perhaps put in a pocket a few million dollars, they provide miserably, the difference in this Telethon new price, the owner will never appear Leader, leaving his money. These mega-companies do not lose any weight at this time, still earning the same, then displayed the unions that exist in this mega-company, talking to the owner appears if achieved X purchases donated to the Telethon Z million dollars, and people naively runs to buy to help. Gentlemen, the mega-company money that promises no more a price close to what would those X shopping, all this coldly calculated, for engineers that have commercial (nothing against them, indeed, do their job), so this is all calculated and well above losses the mega company are few, to zero. Again, we who cooperate with the majority, while the owners, people inside the country's most powerful groups, they lose almost nothing. If repitiesemos what the figures of the tv, we are talking about 20 (although I think it could be more, because there is no single owner, are always more than one) million pesos, which would add about 70 million. Although there are exceptions, I applaud the companies that collaborate with instruments, real estate, ambulances, etc. They deserve my respect.
To speak of politicians, this time bringing smiles appear on their face that Chile is a country united, committed, that when it comes to work he does, his speeches are full of joy and hope. But to follow as it becomes repetitive. These gentlemen can give more than a million each. "Nearly a billion dollars?.
Now comes the main. It's all beautiful seeing people worry strive to give some money to the telethon. A Once a beggar brought to 800 pesos, which is the collection of a whole day maybe. Those who involuntarily open their hand, put into his pocket and go to the bank every time Don Francisco is crying because the goal is something far (hint: Don Francisco know in advance if possible, the goal or not, something is the one who is concerned and start asking to be pouting again to the bank), those who saved for a year to coolaborar. How beautiful is Chile, how nice is my country once more the target has been achieved and we have given a lesson in solidarity around the world (read this sentence with an ironic tone.) But what about after these dates?. It costs us so much achieved the day after the goal to give money that I do not understand. All the rest of the year we deny money to the poor, the beggar, which raises the micro asking some money, you want to wipe the glass in a silver people to carry her home, which sells Band-Aid, which at every traffic light juggling, tricks, to which humor in the street, street performer, who lives on handouts or tips, so we have a hard ... should be that at this time, cooperating with 10 thousand, 20 thousand or 30 thousand dollars, we ran out of money to continue their cooperation, we can not drop a single coin, or should be, because only we remember the telethon solidarity. If everything was cleaner, the Telethon will not last 27 hours, would last much less. Greed of Man does not cease to deliver.
27 hours of love, but as a good prostitute, Love sold.
Greetings.
