No matter how poor or broke you are, if you have a job and are spending money you have servants. If we want financial equality to exist, then someone has got to pay for it. Are you willing to pay more for products and services so the people that serve you get more benefits?
I am willing to pay for them, because if I can use my money and position to stick up for those who make my food, and clean my car and cut my hair or whatever, well maybe then those that I work for will stick up for me.
None of my jobs over the last few years had any benefits. Now I have amazing benefits, because I landed a job in the financial industry. It's almost gross. I have started to ask people that I give money to if they have the sort of benefits that I get and they usually say "NO". That is so unfair. I feel everyone should have the benefits I get. I don't work any harder than they do. I just happened to get lucky and got the right job by total chance.
I everyone of us 99%'ers who had a job stuck up for those that serve us to charge us more so they can get more, I think we could get the corporations to provide benefits etc, without having to go through the government.
Are you personally willing to pay? Are you willing to stick up for those who make less than you? Or do you just want rich people to take care of you?
