The right and decent thing to do.

The world, as I see it, is divided into two basic types of people. Those who want to be monetarily rich. And those willing to settle for the basic necessities of life. I'm with the latter. And I think we are in the majority. But in this world, the minority holds sway. The super rich gravitate to positions of power. They more or less call the shots. Establish the rules. They are the capitalists. The rest of us could easily settle for socialism. For government providing the basic necessities. Such as public education and universal health care and social security. The basics that get us by. We find our happiness in pursuits other than the pursuit of money, and more money. Our religion isn't money. We don't have to accumulate lots of stuff. We can be happy living with the basics. And in a society where we sort of take care of each other. We actually think it's immoral to have an excessively wide gap between the rich and the poor. We also tend to be more docile than the typical money-grubbing capitalist. We don't seek power. Which may be our big mistake. Because then we allow the minority to seize control. To dictate selfish capitalist principles. Fortunately, some of us are becoming pissed over having to accept capitalist ways. We'd much rather live under socialism. We'd put curbs on exploitative capitalists. We'd regulate 'em. And make them pay more taxes. In order to serve the common good. But for that to happen, we're all gonna have to become less docile. Yes, more militant. Revolutionary. We have to overthrow the minority capitalists. And teach them to accept majority rule. Because it's the right and decent thing to do. --Jim Broede
