INCOME DIFFERENCE AND POLITICAL POWER

INCOME DIFFERENCE AND POLITICS I'm just sharing my thoughts about income disparities and political power. As I look at the political landscape in our country my sight informs me that the superrich have more political muscle than the rest of us. Don't jump to the conclusion that I dislike rich people – I don't. I'm an independent writer and actor – I decide what materials I write and make available to prospective buyers; I decide which producers I allow to rent my acting talent. I select and pay professionals to help me in my efforts to make a profit. My bank balance doesn't show it yet but I like to make money – I like deciding what I do, when, where, how, and who with. The superrich continue in their efforts to privatize anything that has the slightest chance of making a profit – they're buying up public resources, they're stripping the government of any regulatory powers while diluting existing policies designed to enhance the economic growth of others. With their money they're shaping the future of ordinary citizens by controlling the pathways to economic wealth – education, jobs, mobility, taxes, investment, etc. The verbiage of the superrich is laced with belief in a god. It implies that they have been chosen by god to set the economic lives of everyone else. There is fervor in the talk that almost convinces me god actually ordained them to be my economic savior – if I did believe in a god they may have had a convert. https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/adolphusaward
