I’ve noticed alot of talk about CEO pay and the Billionaire Boom   …..  Frankly I don’t want to hear it.   When the little green men of the world express their jealousy by inviting legislative activities on the issue you expose yourself as a cry baby.  The simple fact is a city such as Los Angelos can be shut down by lack of cooperation.  For example if someone with a pickup truck and a load of cinder blocks distribute said cinder blocks on the LA freeways you can bring the highways to a halt for at least half a day.    I don’t suggest doing it but I do suggest that cooperation is the lifeblood of heavily mechanized societies.  

For this reason I will suggest to you that the only reason why someone can be a billionaire is that we as a people are too lazy to grab their fair share of the economic pie.   The simple fact is that economic / business education in this country is purposely not taught or if it is taught its taught in a totally unrealistic fashion.  Widely teach an unrestrained capitalistic point of view and watch what happens over time.  You’ll find these highly overpaid  babysitters in the form of politicians and billionaires power weakens and eventually their ranks are thinned.  You want highly productive competitive people like Bill Gates.  You do not want billionaire jackasses but only the market can sort this out.  Anyone who would claim to be objective enough to select who is and who is not is by default a jackass themselves.

By accepting fate and not being critical thinkers we make this situation what it is.  No one gets to be a billionaire on their own.  Its simple.  You have to help them.  Think about that with every economic decision you make.  Every time you buy something, everytime you watch a TV show or go to a movie you are support the agenda and people making the product.  Don’t support what you do not agree with whether liberal or conservative.  This is the most effective kind of democracy ever invented.  It far surpasses even the history book version of democracy purveyed by our federal government.

Having done some small amount of business I am completely sure of these concepts.  I am so convinced that I no longer believe that anyone really “writes” a movie script.   I think what happens is that ideas gain popular status in the minds of the people.  Then writers must carefully observe these ideas.  They then build a text around some of these ideas and its made into a movie.  So the “writers” do not create the movie.   You, I and the other guy in the audience create the movies.  It explains why Hollywood movies are so predictable doesn’t it ?    Probably because we are so predictable.

We create all these things with our hero worship and our passive natures.  Why else are sports figures paid so much?  The only sports I enjoy watching are the ones I watch myself do.  ( I also wonder about the possible latent homosexuality of guys who like to watch other sweaty guys,  Put some hot chicks in way hi heels and make them play basketball…..THEN I’ll watch! ).   Your heros should all be personal.  But then a profit is scorned in hometown and virtue is too often neglected. You will have to overcome your own leaden nature to actually wake up and view the people-gems all around you.  Its hard to let go of childish things but don’t you think its time?
