Ayn Rand, Class Warfare, Solution

There has been a campaign in America since its inception; the best way to describe it would be the “class war”. Now, of course throughout our history there has been an evolution of the battle, so instead of producing a play by play lets state the current conditions and just give a solution.

Right now, many people are saying that the rich pays far too much in taxes. Imagine having to support millions and millions of people and the government with your hard earned capital. Why should they pay more than 50 percent of the taxes, when they “produce” most of the wealth?

The rich have been given a bad rap, greedy, undeserving, disrespected, and even hated. I think it’s time for the rich to do what Ayn Rand suggested in Atlas Shrugged. Leave the country!

That’s right leave; take your money, talent, and ideas out of America. Damn ingrates! Just pack up and leave! Take all the politicians that support the cause of economics and business with you, that’ll teach these lazy, undeserving, useless Americans! They will respect you once you leave; you know “you don’t know what you got till it’s gone”.

Imagine what America will do without you and all of your money. Ha! That will learn em' right? They will appreciate you after that! What would become of all those millions and millions of Americans without you…wait a minute.

You do know if you follow through with the threat, there are somethings that might not be…shall I say productive to your profits.

So, shall I tell you the problems?

When you leave the country, so does your businesses. No more Wal-Marts, No Targets, No Apple, No Microsoft, and no stock markets. What would America need that for? We would be a nation of small businesses. That’s right; you could not sell your products in America, why would you want to sell to a bunch of dependent, welfare-seeking, blood suckers? You are the cream of the crop! Why even associate with more than three hundred million potential customers? How dare they treat you like that, nerve of them asking you, a businessman, to assist in the American process! Business is global! Protectionism is against the very fiber of making profit…for you.

You being rich and successful already know of the failures that will occur in a country with no slave labor, a living wage, a respectful business model. They will come begging for you to return to save them from an existence without hazardous material such as clean coal, oil drilling, fracking, and last but not least long hours of work with minimum pay.

So the next time you poor people start whining and complaining about the rich taking advantage of you…remember…they could leave the country. Imagine the trouble you would be in.

P.S. We keep all of the military weapons as well. The second amendment people would demand it.

Four Elements

Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?
[On being asked who owned the patent on his polio vaccine by journalist, Edward R. Murrow in 1954.]-Jonas Salk
Imagine the horror for Dr. Salk to know, even in his existence, the powers that be already started to do that.

Just look at the elements, water…Evian…fire…Commonwealth Edison…earth…real estate…air…oxygen tanks.
The real question isn’t can you patent the sun; it’s what is the end game?
Water has been an abundant source for centuries! Yet, with the poisoning of so many water sources, we have become victims of the profit motive. Water filtration, bottled water, and the need to seek water irrigation for lands without true water sources have created water prices. WATER PRICES!

As we enter into a new century solar power is constantly presented as two opposite positions. One standing as solar being the future, the other side is saying maybe in the future, just not the near future for Americans. What concerns me is that when it’s something new, something better, better is only if you have better money.
But in other European countries, solar is the present. Those darn socialists really know how to ruin a good thing.

As the world is becoming a packed house with more than six billion people, the earth from industrialized farming to real estate is no longer a frontier. It’s becoming slowly but surely a mad rush to claim a piece of land of our own. But with the earth being what it is naturally, can we actually claim ownership of land with hurricanes, tectonic plates, and a litany of natural occurrences. How long can it be before the next climate change decides that water need to be one place it has never been before?

Slowly our air with the assistance of a mass of machines, toxic fumes, and so many needing sources of fossil fuels to use almost everything from plastics to the very computer I am typing on, is poisoning our air. How long before a need for either oxygen tanks or a more expansive bubble of communities just to survive.
It could be so easy to place blame at the feet of so many of us, but blame never solves a problem.

Besides, I doubt Dr. Salk would look for blame. I hope we don’t try to patent that too.

Action and solutions would help the sick and needy. I just hope we find out that the sick is our four elements before we become the needy. This world doesn’t need us to survive, it’s the opposite, and we need it.
