"We are the 99%"
- OccupyWallStreet.org
Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the "haves" gave all their wealth to the "have nots?" Do you dream of a world where everyone does not just have equal opportunity, but also equal wealth? What if we forced these big companies to give up all the earnings and give them back to the people??
NEWS FLASH: The people would give it right back.
Admittedly, I am not a political science PhD, nor am I studied in social economics. What I am is a business person that has gained advantages by watching people and looking for trends. The biggest trend I see in our business-political world today is a belief in "socialistic economics." I am not saying socialism per se, just a trend towards it.
Here is the deal...
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP: Government runs like any other business. Revenue (money in) MINUS costs (money out) equals profit or loss (money left over if any. (Note: When facing no money, profit is not such a bad word) If the "99%", which all to often are the people that pay the LEAST to the governments revenue (income), wants more stuff from Uncle Sam, then they will have to give more money. If the CORPORATIONS stop giving money (in the form of taxes derived from profits), then 99% of the money these people want to benefit from will be GONE. REPEAT -WILL BE GONE!
What can we learn from this? Is it that price gouging is good for corporations? No. That is not. Is it that we should hate banks for giving us loans we could not afford? Stop - read that last question again and think about who is to blame.
The lesson is simple. If you want more stuff, you must pay for it - not someone else. If you want to eliminate the burden of paying for too much stuff - use less! (this is why I drive a Nissan Frontier and not a Range Rover...which I would really like to have!)
Become part of the 99% that understands HOW business works. Increase income or decrease output, then seek balance. Do not look to your government, a social class or private companies to pay for your errors. Maybe it is time to #OCCUPYREALITY
Cheers,
Zach
