This would only be an apt description if the little red hen was merely the owner of the grainary, mill, and bakery, and took the majority of the profits from sale of the bread while doing next to none of the work.

Workers deserve a reward. Pencil-pushers with fancy financial titles, do not.

Neither do people who get a fancy but utterly worthless degree in Medieval Russian Architecture.

The thing is, someone with a vested interest and moral authority (i.e., shareholders) decides what those pencil-pushers get paid. The spoiled rotten Occutards advocate violence to get what they want. And their logic is fairly impeccable. After all, if throwing a tantrum has always worked on mommy and daddy, why shouldn't it work on Uncle Sam?

What young college graduates deserve is a separate argument, and has to do with the fact that employers have no fucking clue what they're doing, and that hiring managers and recruiters are the absolute scum of the earth

Be a more attractive prospective employee, IMO.

She lucked out, probably inherited it from papa rooster, or had some connections, education, reaping the benefit of knowledge and techniques that she more than likely did not devise.

Which is not to say she is more indebted to society than society is to her. Mutual dependence, or teamwork. The rich pay for the building blocks for their prosperity and the prosperity of others, by keeping living standards elevated for all. The poorer contribute the labor to make it possible.

Mutual dependency = teamwork.


Fine, papa rooster worked hard, took risks, invested wisely, and reaped the benefits. With that money that he earned, he set up little nest egg for Miss. Chicken. She, rather than blowing that money like most heirs do, invested it wisely to improve her standard of living, and everybody elses. It was Papa's money, and then it was her money. It was never your money.

This gets off to my own rants, of course, but the only way to get more attractive is basically through slavery (internships) like what i'm doing now, where i'm effectively paying in order *to* work, b/c of gas.

The alternative is that she reached out to the network of exploiters, highly-paid consultants and other money-pushers, who moved her money around to grow it.

This is why we need to move on to the post-property epoch.

Move on to, or move back to?

It'll be different this time, I'm sure.

"moved money around"... what does that entail, exactly?

You mean... like income tax?

Internships aren't slavery. They're far better than working for money. I'll let Nancy Pelosi explain why.

Commodities trading, derivatives, currency-speculation.

I have nothing against investment per se, but there is a lot of stuff that is done with money that really shouldn't be, because it only benefits the wealthy.
