[quote=CA renter]We can choose to spend money back into the economy, and into the hands of the productive workers who form the foundation of the economic pyramid, or we can choose to allow a handful of people to hoard and control access to the world’s assets and resources — making the structure of the pyramid top-heavy and unstable.
The world is full of sociopathic megalomaniacs who seek out and take advantages of weaknesses in the system so that they can gain control of others. As you know, the consequences of this are rarely positive.
The ONLY way to prevent these people from getting into power is to keep the majority of power in the hands of the greatest possible number of people. Since money represents power, we must ensure that money is “spread out” (yep, I said it) and that the people always have the ability to rise up against the handful of people who are always looking for ways to “take over the world.”
Institutions (and individuals with massive amounts of wealth) will always have more power than ordinary workers, which is why workers need to work in unison to keep them in check.[/quote]
