My previous post

Was mainly to gain some attention and followers, bad attention is better than no attention.  It probably didn't get me much attention anyway.  My major goal is to Improve on lots of things, but I can't do much with out money, and support from many people.

For the last 10 years we have made many technological advances.  However nothing is new.  Humans have been advancing exponentially, but we are not achieving our potential.  I blame greed as one of our major set backs.  There are some great minds out there, and they are not allowed to contribute their best.  We have Multi Billionaires out there that have done some great things, but would their life be worse if they only had a few hundred million.  They should be putting this money back into the company, hire more people, decrease the cost of the product. 

Civilization was able to advance through specialization.  Ballance of this specialization is important, everyone plays a part in getting the end result.  We are only able to do this because of the thousands, or millions of years of work our ancestors have been working on building a better life for their children.

The super rich are taking advantage of the system and abusing it.  It is unsustainable and needs to be put to a stop.  These people are why the country is in the economic problem its in.  I'm not sure what the right level is, but companies should be limiting the top pay to about 100 times what the lowest paid working is getting, this still allows for someone to take home 1.5M if the lowest paid worker is getting minimum wage.  To be respectable the amount should be around 10 times.

The less government is involved the better, but at some point the government should step in.  The government needs to step in when things are unreasonable I thing that amount should be around 1000-10,000 times the lowest paid worker.  I don't think this is too restrictive, if someone wants to make more money, pay the people who help bring in the money better.  I do think there should be an exception for new businesses, to allow the creator to build their personal net worth.

I have created a wiki at opticbit.com for people to contribute to a new set of laws.  Our legal system is littered with out dated laws, and blocks that hold things back.  Legal documents are worded in a way that it doesn't make sense to the average person.  They try to cover every possibility and yet someone still finds a loop hole to take advantage of.  Some of the loopholes are intentional.  We dont need any more corruption in this country.

Through Out history we have had the super rich.  When they get too rich and and the poor are too oppressed, they revolt.  Currently things aren't bad enough, but its headed in the wrong direction.  There is also a perception that there is nothing the poor can do against the super rich and greedy. 

There is something wrong when people are ok with the top person taking home thousands of times more than what their lowest paid employee makes.  The CEO of CostCo does just fine makeing 12 times what his lowest paid full time employee makes, and I respect him for this.

There are people who arn't very bright and cant be as productive, but they still deserve to live a decent life.  And be able to raise their children to be the best that child can be.  many say they don't deserve to make as much money, I agree, but they still deserve to make enough to live much more comfortably than they currently do- as long as they are actually working or trying to.

Unless you are out of debt and have residual income YOU ARE A SLAVE.  Even if you have those things you might be a slave to your self and maintaining your residual, but atleast your in the right place.  We are all slaves to the bank, and to the government.  You may think we are all free because we are in america, but you are not, you still have to work for someone (even if your self employed).

I have more thoughts but I cant think of them right now.

Writing is not my strong point.  sorry for all the errors
