Who Gets the Bigger Half?

James Fisher

It is often thought that people get rich at the expense of others.

This assumes a fatal flaw. That wealth is not created but is finite.

  If wealth were finite (there is only one pie) then indeed the rich would be at the expense of the poor. But it is not. It is limitless.

The fact is, in a free market, for a person to gain wealth, they must make others more wealthy.

You can only gain wealth in a free market through exchange. All exchanges make both parties more wealthy or the exchange would not happen.

So by simple definition, rich people only get that way by making products and services that make others more wealthy. They serve humanity by producing exactly what humanity desires. They create new pies all the time, and while gaining huge portions for themselves they must exchange huge portions to society.

There is no one pie to distribute amongst us all. There is limitless creation possible.

The state with its idiot leaders like Obama seek to stop the pie creation and force the wealthy to distribute the current allotment of pies to the rest of us. Instead of just letting them go on creating new pies to exchange and make us all more wealthy. They seek to see us all perfectly equal sharing only the one pie.

They (the state) are a crime to society. Hindering the advancement of wealth for us all in a quest to make us the same poor dogs, equal in our squander.

They point guns at the heads of those producing the most and say, "You have too much."

Well, those producing the most are the ones supplying the most wealth.

You have heard the the saying, "Don't bite the hand the feeds you?"

The state is constantly biting the hands that feed us in the name of fairness.

It is time to bite the state!
