Subservience to the rich, whatever alias they may be traveling under, has been constant throughout written history. Morality, ethics and the emotional engagement of populations are in a constant state of change. Only the greed, corruption and treachery of the powerful remains the same.
"A good slave works for food alone."
Q of the week:
Q: Is the quotation "the poor will always be with us" meaningful out of context?
A: No, but that's beside the point. They are words and the poor are real people who are deprived through the existence of that which is described by the unspoken but necessary complimentary saying: "The rich will always afflict us." We need to rectify this wrong.
Volume II Issue 11:
We are trained to think and believe that the workless class deserve their wealth and that we are poorer than they because we haven't worked hard enough or are weak and stupid. If we fail to confront that lie or take an opportunity to rectify the dysfunctional nature of our economic culture, I'll admit, we're weak and stupid. But you can not get rich by hard work. The most unscrupulous among us rise to the top, like scum in any boiling pot of fat meat.
In a healthy economy, money represents material goods that people work to create. To survive, people must work hard enough to create the food, clothing and shelter sufficient for their own needs. If we work harder we can produce enough to support others who perform useful services for the human community. If I make twice as much as I need, for instance, I can support a doctor. But no one can create enough material goods in a lifetime to supply the greedily hoarded wealth of a workless class vampires. No one can work hard enough to get rich. No one!
Let's do a little math to illustrate the consequences of supporting wealthy workless class parasites and scavengers. I'll start with a simple example then scale it up. Imagine an economy with only three people. If we sum their wealth and divide by three we arrive at their average net worth. If one has exactly the average and another has twice the average then the third must have nothing. We could stop here, after labeling our three representatives the middle class, the wealthy workless class and the homeless poor. (The last is not likely to be with us much longer. Starvation is ugly but efficient.) But I promised a scaled up example of this mathematical process and I won't renege. I'm not really all that political.
What is the mathematical consequence of a fortune of 60 billion dollars in a society where the average net worth is $50,000? Their are many valid solutions but 6.0 X 1010 divided by $50,000 equals 1,200,000 people with nothing at all. 2,400,000 people with $25,000 net worth also satisfies the equation. I think you get the picture. Millions of people must suffer deprivation, poor health, pain, inferior education and all manner of misery to support one very rich person. We've many workless parasites to support. We simply can't afford them any longer.
Perhaps some minds are conditioned to respond: "The rich create their money. It doesn't represent anyone's work or material goods, so it's not stolen. They've simply been smart enough to manipulate the economy to their own benefit." That's so specious that I almost despair of explaining its falseness, at least to the kind of fool who would say it. However... If their money represents no one's work or material goods then it is worthless. It is purely inflationary. Deliberate inflation of the money supply is stealing from us all. It especially hurts those who already suffer the most. It is a fraud and should be outlawed. The entire economy for the past 5000 years has, effectively if not deliberately, been an insidious scam to rip off humanity. The beneficiaries of our system are a few lazy, useless parasites. The human race, after millions of years of fitness among the life on Earth, may actually be threatened with extinction by this upstart culture, which is based on appeasing the greed of workless classes. To live we must rid ourselves of the parasites who infect and enslave us.
The pastors or ministers of an individual church, belonging to and assigned by the super-scribing denomination, are analogous to middle managers in a corporation. Can you imagine, say Microsoft, taking responsibility for the non-work related criminal acts of it's employees? The courts don't hold corporate entities [abstract, legal persons] accountable for the illegal acts of corporate clones, regardless of whom those acts serve. Neither does the media. Yet the Catholic Church is being depicted as reneging on an offer to settle civil matters involving priests, who've transgressed the law. They were not required to pay for the ungodly acts of their fired agents. They offered to do so out of a sense of social and moral responsibility. Such high standards have never been evident in the workless class or the corporations they've spawned to separate themselves from the law and humanity.
