RE: UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

There are three types of people in this world. The Bourgeois, Upstarts and Laborers.

An Upstart is anyone who, through his own energy works his way up from his previous social position to a higher one. The relentless struggle to do so kills all pity or empathy. One's own painful scramble for existence suffocates the feeling of sympathy for the misery of those left behind.

The Bourgeois are not upstarts. They have been born of privilege and as such are endowed with blinders from the true nature of poverty and its uncertainty. These blinders also repel any opinions that remind them or show them their privilege. Those who somehow recognize through the blinders the struggles of the laborer often claim to be enlightened and empathetic but are unable to truly understand the plight of the laborer and so it is pointless to do so here. It must be experienced like a butterfly escaping its cocoon.

There it remains However, A description as to why regular people fight to keep a system that allows the 1% to control everything and not pay their fair share of taxes to maintain a healthy and sustainable velocity of money.

Make no mistake this is not an advocacy for the direct redistribution of wealth as we see today in Section 8 housing, Food Stamps, Welfare payments etc. which should only exist on a temporary basis to avoid addiction and being enslaved by choice. Maintaining a sustainable velocity of money must also be by choice; giving a choice to the taxpayer, to pay the government a high percentage of his profit income or pay a higher percentage of his profits to his Laborers instead, being more deserving of his grace than those the officials would choose, in his eyes.
Thus causing the high capitalists to self manage and allowing the laborers to become upstarts and eventually create more of the Right people and not those who would choose slavery.

Sort:  

that's retarded. There are those who own private property, those who labor on it and the petit bourgeois. The petit bourgeois do both because they do not yet have enough power to steal from the workers without doing work themselves.
