those that love to state the obvious in life but love to feel them self as wise, and think it will change the world to better.


amendment...

such is not so...

they don't "think" their words will change the world to better...

these really could care less about what happens to all others in the world, but rather only love most them self feeling as wise, wiser than all around, much more than they have EVER cared about good being created for all others.

oopise...

had to correct that misperception of words writ.

I have no desire to be "rich"...I would however like to have enough money so it would be the last thing on my mind...


If I had lots of money, I would go to Missoula Montana, find me a sweetheart and give it all to her.love

I think you missed the point, I was trying to make. There is not enough positions/opportunities for everyone to fill a CEO, Chief Finacial Officers ect. positions in the world. Consider this; if the labourer or janitors did not do there job who would perform this work? The CEO, Chief Finacial Officers ect. they then would not have time to do the work load that is expected of them if thing were not cleaned or built for them by someone else. Who would want to go to a stadium these days if fecal matter, or garbage laid all over the floor, where you were sitting. Think of the disease we would have in society still.

I graduated with Honours in accounting. I lack a network to find employment and I was competing for a entry position with individuals' with 5-10 years of experience for $13.00/hour. This wage is probably fair for someone starting out gaining work experience in this field, but not fair for someone with that many years experience. Why did we have a resection, because the labourer or janitor did not do their job; NOT LIKELY!

You are correct not every CEO makes millions, but someone of them abuse the position when it comes to the consumers to turn the profit your referrig to. People underneath upper management follow their lead to stay employed.

There are so many factors involved that it is not just one or two CEO or other wealthy people in the global society that have more than they need. These people want more rather than opening up a position for someone else to establish finacial security; and helping these new people learn a greater skill set. These people who have more than enough to live and love their careers what is wrong with them being only a mentor to someone?

Basicly saying why do these wealthy people not volunteer there time and help train new people. They don't need the money they want the money!

I am far from being ingorant and see how people are treated unequally in society. I say this not from wanting to be a multi - million - air, but from reality of society.

Is it fair to a person who is willing and has a great skill-set too end up working the streets, having to deal drugs, being homeless, or committing any other crime to survive. These peole who have enough money see this, but continue to make more for themselve rather than expanding 1% of wealthy individuals.

Where are the mentor's in today's society to help people gain a better life. Only a few people are willing to take on this position in society and thank them for the individuals who are mentor's and see many people want to succeed and escape corruption, or poverty of life.


Actually no I didn't. If everyone was a CEO then nothing else would exist (I do understand what you are saying and the points your making.). Thus that idea in general is just dumb. The reason CEOs get paid so much is because it is a crappy job and there are not that many people that can succeed at it and they make the people who pay them a lot of money. This is the same reason pro athletes make a killing. If anyone could play like Peyton Manning then they wouldn't need to pay him so much. Many CEOs barely have enough time to spend with their families much less "mentor" someone just because.

I don't even know where you are getting at needing a network. My wife isn't even a citizen and in the country less than 2 years when she got her most recent job in Accounts Payable making much more than what you listed for accounting. She also had no experience in it. We did, however, move to a city where we knew there were opportunities. I myself have worked in several cities and got jobs without any kind of special network. I just searched online and applied.


Yes you did miss the majority of my points. Your correct CEO's do not all make millions only a few do. CEO's do answer to the investors' who answer to the stock-holder's. Investors answer to the people who are investing there income that is not considered disposable. All working peoples' job's are important regardless what it is they do.

Many people are intellegent and educated, but only a few receive the opportunities to climb the ladder of success. The one's that do not climb the ladder of success due to lack of opportunities; work in job's or career's that are available, or they are interested in. They are not lazy or dumb only there are not enough professional careers' for all individual's.

I was not trying to place blame on CEO's, Cheif Financial Officers, or investors'. I did say if no one bought commodities that were not needed to survive MEANING (NOT RELATED TO: FOOD, SHELTER, OR CLOTHING) many job's would not exist, leaving less room for investment oppportunities and a potiential to gain wealth from multiple sources of investment. The returns would be much less, because there are more people wanting to invest in a limited pool of businesses. I did say the labourer, janitor, or etc. are not responsible for the recession we all just went through.

It is a gobal economy and law's regardless of what the title of the ACT is are not equal around the world. Explain this to everyone that is responding to this topic.

BP invested a billion dollars' into an oil refinery in Russia. Near completion Russian told BP it did not meet Russia's Environmental Standards Act. Do you believe and telling everyone in this topic that BP; would not have followed those Environmental Standards of Russia if they were part of Russia's Envrionmental Act. Why would BP throw away a billion dollars of investor's money?

Businesses invest in countries that do not have the same standards in law for greater profits. Therefore law's are changed, but usually grandfathered if projects are started or the corrections can be made to fix the problem. BP pulled right out of this project. The cost to correct the new standards was to great.

All businesses are concerned in having enought ASSETS' to prevent closure or being over taken by another business - but most large businesses are designed to operate with greater liabilities than asset's - due to change in technology. Too many countries are divided that cause financial problems. They all have concern for there citizens and their countries growth - if the country has something to offer investors'.

The question is how to create a global economy, where everyone earns enough income to survive, invest for retirement, and have disposable income. What people spend there disposable income on will very depending on those individuals wants or needs.

Also we need to look at relationships and single people. Single people's cost of living are higher than couples that live together. Familys' cost of living is even greater than couples or single peoples living expenses; generally.

I was trying to point out that there are many reasons why peoples wealth is lower than what is needed. Money will not make a relationship, but only allow the affordability of wants. I do not have an answer or explination that can explain all that is involved.

Mostly because of greed and fear.

Certain life style requires wealth.

Also, a large number of people do not trust other people and would rather rely on money than kindness of family, friends or strangers in hard times.

It is impossible to cover all the relevant factors in one reply, but
your explanation was elaborate and your arguments were strong and logically sound.
