However... he's talking about things that are real, not selling anything. Washington has it's collective head up it's own backside and people who don't know how politics works are confused and hurting for jobs, for ways to keep their homes, feed their kids and keep from being homeless.

The way to do that is to become informed and acting on information that is being handed out by someone who knows. Okay, fine...LA is a bit irritating to listen to, but his facts are being borne out every day. As far as I can determine, he isn't getting kickbacks from anyone who he has helped. Yes, he's making some money from the videos, but certainly not enough to think he can make a fortune that way.

But it IS true...the programs ARE out there and the only reason more people aren't cashing in on them is that the politicians have made it difficult to FIND the programs or how to apply to them.

You lose nothing to try things LA's way. If it doesn't work, then all you lose is a little time...but if it works...you find a way or ways to keep yourself and your family afloat while this crisis runs it's course.

In the end, all you can do is what you feel is right for yourself and those you care about. I care about all of us here at Top Shelf and this is a way I can pay forward the help I've gotten from all of you.

If you doubt, that's your right and no hard feelings from me for sure. I just think that if you doubt without even trying, then you lose nothing but a little time on the phone, but you gain nothing if you don't at least try. I have checked out some of the things he's talked about and they are real.

There ARE programs out there, grants, loans, rent assistance, utilities help, food and they ARE available if you know where and how to apply for them. The ONLY reason I haven't applied to any of them is I don't need it right now. I'm not independently well off, but I have more than enough to get by and I won't take anything someone else worse off than I am might need more than I do.

That's my only reason for giving this guy a chance. Yes, there are people out there who will sell you anything and give you nothing but the back of their head when it comes time to face them with their lies, but La is not selling anything. He's GIVING information that could help you or your family during a terrible crisis.

Thank you for your comment. Pro or con, it's your right to post what you feel and I respect that.
