Help me out with this. Why are these people crying about No' Bama's stimulus plan? I mean he gave away Billions. He is suppose to be Robin Hood, is he not? What happen to all those "shovel ready" projects that were to help the "working class" immediately?
The article below explains that most of the money (in Florida) went to the mean rich people while the bottom 99% seen their wages decline. It goes on to say FL depends on tourism and construction for their economy. Now, I have flipped a ton of burgers in my time. As well as swung some hammers (never well BTW). Nothing against the hard working Joes out there or the fast food workers but we all must understand the vast majority of these jobs are low wage, entry level positions. If one chooses, they can learn, become more proficient and efficient in the career field and move up the chain and can make a decent living.
Many jobs and fortunes have been created by doing the hard nasty work that nobody else wants to do. Working their way up the ladder or just breaking off and starting their own thing. Odds are one is not going to start at Mickey D's and in five years have their own. It simply cost to much. However, you can put in your 80 a week and open the local mom and pop shop.
The point to all of this is you can not give everybody wealth. It must be earned. At least on the grand scale. If you give everyone a million dollars Mickey D's will no longer have the dollar menu. They will have the million dollar menu. That is a fact. So when people start crying about wealth and where it is located remember this.
You can not have good with out bad, day with out night, rich with out poor. If we did we would not know it. There would be no difference. The last time I looked around I did not live in Star Trek. Here, people pay for food, housing, recreation. If we did not there would be no incentive.
