Eyeopening. In the article Media Magic i didn't know we had enough wealth to eliminate poverty. Here is the problem."If we CHOOSE to redistribute existing wealth or income." With the system that we have that separates "them from us",and the ruling class not caring about the poor thinking they do it to themselves, and the rich just furthering there own. Even if a bill like this was put on the table the people in high government who are mostly millionaires would get ride of that bill quick. People with money want to keep their money, and that usually means hurting the lesser then with exploiting cheaper labor in other countries, massive lay-offs, pension plan loss and bad and expensive health care. There is no room for social helpfulness.
I watched a documentary about Dr Bronners magic soap an organic healthy products company that i use, and i think they have the right idea, that other big business's should follow. They are centered in activism and Construction Capitalism-Where you share profit with the workers and earth and people.
Total compensation of executives is capped at 5 times that of the lowest worker.
The health plan is a no deductible ppo health insurance plan for them and family
15% paid into a retirement/profit sharing fund
They get bonuses
All profits not needed for business development or debt retirement go to supporting progressive causes and charities like fresh water wells in Ghana and orphanages in poor countries.
They have been doing this since 2003 and their business is still going strong!
Company's and people need to loss there individualism way of thinking!
In the People like us tear they say people are all members to a tribe. Big business would definitely not wan to be apart of this tribe and consider it not with the norm and probably say it was deviant, because they try to help people lesser then, help themselves and are social conscience. They have great health care, and as we see from the reading most people don't- and die early because of it. They don't exploit people from other countries but want fair trade and fair deals to help uplift them.
In Joe Queenan's tour and the Belles and Wasps they tell us that certain words and knowing what they mean or lack there of. Will separate you and show that you do or don't belong. The girl from NY had just moved there and didnt know what the belles where. She was immediately excluded and she felt horrible. Joe said people feel like i belong because i know what this is and what its properly used for. CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION says I'm a part of the cool crowd, i belong. We both can talk about our objects which are fancy, or something we don't know the meaning of but illicit "classiness"? This is brought home with the wasps were the woman says you cant say certain words. When heard she knows your lower class and the mere thought of the word makes her cringe. For 20 years she will never get it out of her head or forgives it. Which is ridicules people make mistakes(well i guess not rich people) Which is maybe why they want to get away from "their people" and their judgments when they slum it in Friends in low places. I felt they were looking at the blue collar people like animals at a zoo they visit but dont stay....or like a dog giving paw( when he kept giving high 5's) OMG its like me, they are like me im so amazed. With INDIVIDUAL MOBILITY in Trouble in paradise Scott is put in a higher class cause he is marrying Laura. In How to marry the rich, she is showing you how to marry higher then your standing, like she did and how to manuver in the circles and get a husband who will live longer because of his high standing-so says Cause of death: Inequality and you will both live a long privledged life and when you give to charity (a meager sum) to seem like you care but your only doing it cause others are, you will give not to a needy cause but to something that entertains or helps you like a mueseum or elite universite for your children, that you will send off to if they get in on ther own, or you buy them in.



Though I believe in sharing the wealth,I believe that it comes with some difficulties.What should we do about members of society who truly do not contribute anything to it and choose to live off welfare as a way of life? I know a certain girl that was trying to get pregnant so that she could get on welfare.I think it's terrible that we live in a society where a teenage girl would think this is a better alternative to becoming educated and getting a good job.I know these cases are only a few out of the many people that truly do need help and are productive members of society. What do you think we can change about society so that it would never get to the point where people deliberately try to get on welfare just so they don't have to strive for anything in life?
