Wealth Inequality in America

"The top 1 percent own nearly half the country's stocks, bonds, and mutual funds," the video goes on to contrast those impressive holdings with the rest of the country. By comparison, it points out, the bottom 50 percent of earners own only 0.5 percent of those investments.

I've recently been thinking a lot about:

1. Psychology.
2. Ethics.
3. Business.
4. Law.
5. Law-Enforcement.
6. The Military.

This might not seem related to the topic of this thread -- yet a clean-sheet approach to all of the above -- including their interrelationships -- might be most rewarding. I support Constructive-Competition and Responsible-Enterprise. We're not even close to this ideal, are we?? Constructive-Competition is NOT Sin. Destructive-Competition IS Sin. Responsible-Enterprise is NOT Sin. Irresponsible-Enterprise IS Sin. Inequality is an Incentive. On the other hand -- doing that which is in everyone's best interest is a highly elevated ideal in my book. Perhaps we should look VERY closely at the Most Wealthy One Percent AND at the Poorest One Percent -- Side by Side. Do you see why this might be a wise move?? What if the Top One Percent Reincarnates as the Bottom One Percent?? What if the Bottom One Percent Reincarnates as the Top One Percent?? What a revolting development that might be!! Who makes the Reincarnational Soul Assignments Anyway?? Do we live in Hell, Purgatory, Heaven -- or all three?? Try thinking about politics and religion in unconventional ways. I just wish I could think. Period.

I suspect Oxy that most people want to survive comfortably. This means they have shelter, clean environment (land, water and air), free of war, organic fresh produce - healthy food. The top 1 percent who have more money then god are hoarders. No matter how much they have it is never enough. That's a disease. Many at the bottom 1 percent are the opposite and share what little they have with others (especially their families). I seriously doubt that the bottom one percent would want the wealth that the top one percent has accumulated through greed and corruption. They wouldn't know what to do with it and more then likely would start giving it away to others in need understanding that sharing is far better then hoarding. Personally knowing folks at the bottom one percent - this is what I see them doing on a regular basis. They've learned to live with so little that anything extra is more abundance then they need so they share it - give away the excess which makes them feel even more abundant. Whereas the top one percent always feels emotionally or psychology needy.

Socialism, Communism, and Capitalism are ALL slippery-slopes. In many ways EVERYTHING seems to be a slippery-slope.

It takes the average worker a month to make as much as the CEO does in 10 minutes, puts it in perspective.

(This must be a CEO of a fairly big corporation)

One of the things that really got to me when I was an Executive Director is that everyone is of value but the salaries were set by the Board of Directors. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I wanted staff to be making the same amount as I - yet I was the one who spent thousands of dollars getting through college so qualified for the bigger bucks. In looking at what some of these CEOs make, it's just obscene. How much money does one need? Hugo Chavez died with 2 billion stashed away. That's beyond obscene. It's just tragic that much money belonged to one individual and he obtained it through theft. What would his nation have looked like if they money had gone back into improving conditions for his people? These are the inequities that create imbalance.

I continue to wonder what Heaven (human or otherwise) is like regarding governance, commerce, and freedom. We seem to want freedom -- but this implies competition and inequality. I get the feeling that Heaven is a strict theocracy where they don't do a lot of debating, campaigning, and voting. I really think we need to figure out the church and state thing. I'm watching The Prophecy -- which has an 'archangels in conflict' theme -- with some of them viewing humans as monkeys who ought to be exterminated so things can be 'like they were before'. What have I been saying throughout my internet adventure?? When I met with the AED, it felt as if we knew each other -- going way, way back. It was sort of cool -- but very creepy and frightening. The AED seemed to lean toward some sort of socialism. I guess I would like to eliminate the extremes in wealth and poverty -- especially regarding quality of life. If I had vast wealth -- I would like to think that I would live rather simply -- and use the wealth as-needed to do that which was in everyone's best interest. That's the theory anyway. Who knows what the reality might be?? Once again, I keep thinking of a hypothetical Reptilian-Human Nazi-Mason-Jesuit Agent-Attorney-Queen ruling a Reptilian-Human Nazi-Mason-Jesuit Galactic-Empire. I have absolutely no proof -- yet this model seems to work in so many ways. I wonder what Bill Cooper and Alex Collier might say?? I wonder if there might be a good and bad version of this basic hypothetical phenomenon?? I've really just been trying to understand the way things work -- rather than being on some angry campaign. I will never be able to participate in any of this sort of thing -- so I have to use my imagination to get my governance jollies. I doubt the reality would be jolly at all. I'm sort of mad at the human race -- yet I'm sort of mad at the historical management of humanity (which seems to be other than human).

Things just don't seem to work the way we were taught in Sabbath-School and Sunday-School. I love the Teachings Attributed to Jesus -- yet they often seem too idealistic for the real world as we know it. If everyone was completely saturated with the Psalms and Matthew -- things might be quite fine -- politically, religiously, and economically. Unfortunately, our pluralism seems to have produced absurditites and atrocities. I continue to wonder what the American System combined with the Monarchy and Church of England might look like. I'm also trying to understand how the beings throughout the universe might view all of this. I continue to get the impression that they are offended, angry, and jealous regarding the human race. My internal conflict regarding all of this is at critical levels. I keep getting the feeling that I failed to do something I was supposed to do in this incarnation. My Reptilian Speculation seems to be over the edge -- yet a lot of it seems to fit the evidence. I'd like to get a real education in the City States, the United Nations, and the Moon -- with concise yet comprehensive lessons regarding how things really are -- and how things really work. I almost seem to be existing in a dimension quite different from those around me. I'm probably just going insane -- getting soul-scalped or perfectly possessed. All is definitely NOT well. My honesty and humour are probably damning me to an eternally burning hell -- but I thought someone needed to take a contrarian traditionalist esoteric position regarding politics and religion. Someone needs to stir the pot once in a while. Unfortunately, I fear that the pot is about to explode into a Time of Trouble such as the world has never seen. Class Warfare might be a major point of contention. I'm sensing a Perfect Storm of Problems and Confusion in our immediate future. I SO hope that I'm wrong.

Warning strong language....
