Control

This post will be about wealth disparity.   We are all familiar with the occupy movement.    The supporting fact of the Occupy movement was that the top 1% of the US population controls some 35% of the wealth.

"We are the 99%"

Occupy was a little interesting and I generally didn't agree with their method.   They were just complaining... there were no demands, no strikes.   Just camping and violence.   They were complaining but didn't do anything about it.   Like walking into a kitchen and saying "this kitchen is dirty" but then turning around and leaving.

Everybody you and I know are part of the 99%.   Unless you know somebody that owes an island or a country, they are the 99%.

So how do we do something about it?

First let me introduce this idea of control.   How do you control somebody?  Its simple, you get something they want.

If I want my dog to rollover, I show him a treat, that I have, and he COULD have if he does what I say.

If my kids want to watch TV, I can say "go clean your room" and it will be the fastest way to get them to do it.

If I'm in the 1% and I need workers for my island country, I promise them the American dream and MONEY.

So what can we do about it?    We can say "screw you, we dont want your dollars anyway, we're going to use our own currency"

As soon as my kids no longer want to watch TV, do you think I can get them to clean their room?  No way.

If  half this country says "we dont want your dollars anyway, we're going to use Bitcoin" then the top 1% loses control over them.  

If you are in the 99% and have a problem with wealth disparity, then invest in bitcoin, accept bitcoin for payment (work, oddjobs, personal debt), spend bitcoin with bitcoin friendly venders, and spread the good word of BITCOIN!  Remember "we dont want your dollars anyways"   If enough people are using bitcoin, the top 1% can have 100% dollars in the US and the other 99% will not give a care, because they no longer have control.

We are forced to use this banking system, based on inflation, because the top 1%  control the country(including politicians) to buy legislation then benefits the 1%.   This can be a post for another day, how the 1% buy congress and control.
