If I remember right, the Jews had a system where every 50 years all debts were canceled. Everyone had a new start.
That seems interesting.

I have always thought just every once in a while, those who have should make adjustments to receive just a little less and give a little more to those who actually do the work. I understand investment cost, all of the incidentals that go with being in business.

At some point in time a successful business makes more money than the owner requires. When that point is reached, why not spread the wealth with those who produced. Not on a permanent basis, but like the Jews every so many years. Just saying.

We are in agreement that things could be better for many if the money moved through the system fairer.

Each of us plays a part in the system. we must guard our self from seeking to be of our material things rather than just being our self as a good person.

We do need to use the goods & services each of us is a part of producing. But we need to this better.

When we seek more material things than we truly need in effect we sell apart of our soul. At some point need becomes greed.

We need to improve our inter personal relations with others with out showing off all of our material things. We need to look for the simple things that make life good.

We can find many things in people just being friends & enjoying their company. A true friend enjoys another for just being a good friend.

We don't need to make our material things the center of what we do with each other.

I feel a growing interest on this forum that many would just like to be friends.

Is that not a good way to seek what changes we need to make the world a better place.

We may not really need to change much. It is just a matter of bringing to the forefront that which is already there.

If we wish to be & have the things we really need we may find we can change the way things are.

Buy looking away from making material things our God we may find that the power truly is in our hands & not in the money changers.

I don't always remember just what site I have been on but I did just reply to you on this on another Topic. if you don't find it, it is no big deal.

Fair as in being just. Okay play with that word.

I believe there is no more greed in the world today than there way yesterday - on the contrary, being poor in America today is better than being poor here any time in the past. There is less stigma and one has more economic goods and services available.

As to individuals, there are many who contribute time and money to charities - although many of them are scams - but people do try.

Meanwhile, we may have a real problem on two levels, one trying to provide too much for too many - causing the enormous national debt and unfunded liabilities. On another level, is it really doing a favor to someone by making them too dependent on others, even if others are the government?

To perhaps emphasize your well made point; poverty in America is not only less harsh than just a short time ago, historically. It is far preferable to poverty in most of the members states of the United Nations. At minimum levels our welfare system is luxurious compared to most of the world. By that metric Americans are very generous, broadly speaking.

Did I say that anyone was useless? Must have missed that in my statement. Only used the example I did because it is easier to explain that going through the same format but with different examples, but could just as well used car repairs, driveway shoveling, house cleaning, dog walking and roof repair, which are all city functions, but might have gotten too complicated.
For the most part, a person is useless if he makes himself useless, but I have never declared anyone useless. Period
