When you know the truth, you are much better off. I’ve been told recently that I have a good way of pointing out the truth. I don’t want to promote myself in this way. People hear the truth, believe in the truth, and then dismiss it, and go back to the lies. From then on, the truth burns from within, but fear of the consequences from following the truth tends to limit the freedoms of those people. One will say it is absolutely wrong to cut employee hours to help increase the profits for the owner of the company, but then they only talk about this with their fellow employees for fear of getting their own hours reduced, or worse yet being fired for speaking the truth to the bosses. One will say there is no reason to prohibit marijuana use, but then will not speak of their own marijuana use for fear of conviction or judgment by their peers, bosses, or the law. One will say that many cops are power hungry, but won’t speak of it when they appear before a judge. Once you know the truth, tell the truth to others. You will be surprised by the majority of people that share your views, but once again, the fear creeps in. They use this fear against you. They use this fear to destroy you. But it is you that is strong, it is you that have the numbers to support your view. It is you that has helped create everything that makes life go ‘round today. Without you, and all your fellows…this world would come to a stand still. But yet, most believe that without some wealthy owner paying your wage, you wouldn’t be able to survive.
In sports, it is the fans that spend the money to pay the players, not the owner. It is the fans that pay the concession workers, not the owner. It is the fans that patronize the sponsors of the game, not the owners. In shelter, it is the purchaser of the building that pays the builders, not the owner. It is the purchasers of the concrete, lumber, pipes and wire that pay the people that create these supplies, not the owner of the mill, or mining company. In clothing, it is the naked people that purchase the clothing that pay the cotton pickers, the seamstresses, delivery trucks, and retail workers, not the owners of that land. It is the hungry people that pay the farmers, ranchers, delivery trucks, and grocery store workers, not the owners.
Ever hear the saying, “cut out the middle man?” These so-called owners are the middle man. They do nothing but skim off the top, and collect checks that cause the rise in prices for all. When their profits do not fit their liking, who do they get rid of? Some of the workers.
Take my last example for instance. Farmers and ranchers do very hard work to produce our food. Then employees at the cannery use some of this food to make soup, Chef Boyardee, and what not. Butchers cut the meat in order to avoid a family having to buy a whole cow and carve it up themselves. Truck drivers carry all of this food all over the country to feed the masses. The manager of each individual store makes sure that all of the products the consumers need are on the shelves, by organizing the people in the receiving department, the shelf stockers, and the cashiers in order to serve the consumers. The district managers make sure the right people are managing each individual store and managing it properly. All of these people are important to feeding our country as well as other workers by hand or brain. But should the managers make more money than the people that use their bodies to stock the shelves, and man the checkout aisles? They definitely serve their purpose, but their job is no harder than each of the other employees. But the owners pay them well, to convince them to help the owners‘ bottom line. Meanwhile, the owners only job is to check their bank accounts. Do you see how prices could be reduced by cutting out this middle man? Wouldn’t this world be a better place if the poor people didn’t have to resort to thievery? Wouldn’t we have more respect for each other, and more of a feeling of being in control of what is rightfully ours? Wouldn’t life be easier if these lazy owners on welfare actually lent a hand to help us live an enjoyable life? Americans flock to fast food restaurants and spend a lot of their money, yet the burger flippers make the least amount of money in this country. Seems to me, they have a pretty important job. We support the lazy owners as much as we support a poor woman who continually gives birth to another child to gain a larger welfare check. But we look up to these owners as great and powerful men. Meanwhile we look down on the poor woman. But we support them both the same.
