How To Be Loved And Approved By The Rest Of The World

 

We were at one point the most successful and beloved country on the planet.

Not everyone liked us but when we were treating our citizens appropriately that was making millions of people very impressed and wanting to live here.

We have destroyed that now since the only thing we are ding is helping those that are very wealthy become obscenely wealthy by letting the abuse their employees and by allowing them to send jobs overseas.

I have no problem with people working overseas but they should be used to cover problems where we do not have enough people here to cover the issues.

When we have millions looking for work there is absolutely no excuse for sending jobs overseas. Once we have all our people employed then we absolutely can send jobs overseas to cover what we do not have enough employees for.

Every single company in this country and in other countries should have their leadership placed in jail for abusing the people of their country.

If you are making 10s of millions of dollars or more while many of your employees are barely able to survive on their salaries then you should be fined enough to place you in the same financial situation as your employees and the fines should be distributed evenly among your poorly paid employees.

All you need to do is make sure you are paying your employees enough to live reasonably well. As the CEO and developer of your company you absolutely deserve to live very well but you should be forbidden to live well if you refuse to pay your employees enough to at least be reasonably comfortable.

At my last job I was not by any stretch of the imagination the lowest paid employee but I was still barely living paycheck to paycheck and the CEO of that company was making about 1000 times more than I was making.

I wonder how proud of that he was.

The biggest world problem as far as economy goes is that we have apparently taught many countries how to make a few people insanely rich while screwing over their citizens.

If this is allowed to continue for another couple of years I expect to see the majority of people living in tents or shacks outside the castles or mansions of the wealthy as most become peons again as what was happening several centuries ago and it lasted through the gilded age.

Those of you who are wealthy assholes be prepared for the torches and pitchforks to come back out. It will be something other than actual torches and Pitchforks but whatever it turns out to be will make you unhappy.

Start paying people well and treating them properly and that will never happen.

What Is Happening In The World Today

 

The people in the world today are still having serious trouble making ends meet. It is really time for all the governments to retrieve all of the money that was given to the financial industry plus another 20% or so as a fine for causing the issues we are having.

Once the money is retrieved it should be given spread evenly to the public that is still rarely able to survive. We also need to start thinking about regulations. We don’t need a ton of regulations but we should start regulating pricing from corporations that are price gouging their customers.

Companies and corporations are certainly entitled to make profits but it should be against the law to use all the profits to just give their executives insane amounts of money.

Employees should be making far more now then they did a decade ago but many are making even less. Productivity has climbed dramatically but pay scales have gone down so the is pay gouging the employees.

Pay should certainly be based on individual productivity and quality. Not everyone is good at what they do and would not making as much as the best employees but there is not one single employee on the planet that should not be making enough to at least cover living and healthcare expenses.

Ok you politicians around the world stop all your crap and fix your citizens!!!

The Arrogance of Power

For those that dislike the US Congress please remember that we are not alone in the world with politicians that are really only interested in consolidating and maintaining their power base.

I agree with you 100% about the congress. They just keep on doing what they are doing despite the fact that only about 11% of the country thinks they are doing a good job.

Other places have their issues as well. In Russia Vladimir Putin has been quoted as stating that he believes that the old Soviet Union should be put back together which would fix things in that country. Oh for the good old days of the Cold War.

In Syria the government has been firing on its own citizens when they protest. They then deny it vehemently even when presented with pictures and videos showing it happening.

Never forget that it could always be worse. That being said, Congress is absolutely doing a horrible job. A number of Congressional Leaders have publicly stated that their job is to make sure that President Obama is a one term president.

Come election day 2012 please make sure you all remember that in order for us to move ahead and bring prosperity back to the ones that have lost it and to finally let those that never had it to enjoy it, we need to vote out the whole kit and caboodle of them and bring in all new.

Remember that we have that option. As arrogant and self righteous as our politicians are, I can not see them sic'ing the military on on the public as has been done elsewhere.

We badly need to move forward and fix the mess that we are in as soon as we can but keeping everyone in office will just maintain the status quo we will have the same issues after the election.
