Remember the stories of old (I mean really old), where a travelling salesman, working long and hard, could raise himself up to become a virtual merchant king? In the economy of those ancient times, all it took was hard work and innovation. Not everyone had that mindset, so it was more rare than not.

Today? Because of endless taxes, inflation, economic hardships, and outright corporate and government theft, the modern man must work their asses off just to put food on the table. Only the geniuses, or those born into the elite families, can enjoy the equivalent of merchant king status.

BUT–

What if the economy was corrected? What if taxes were eliminated? What if the corporate and government crooks were all jailed?

The answer: the average hard-working Joe like you and me, so used to breaking our backs just to survive, could apply those skills in the new economy and reach merchant king status almost before we knew it. Imagine working hard for maybe seven or ten years and then doing no more than managing our massive wealth and devoting our minds to creative and innovative thinking?

We would rise so high and so fast that the elites would quickly become the equivalent of pack mules, left behind in our dust, irrelevant. That's why they can't allow this to happen. That's one of the major reasons they're quaking in their gold-framed beds at night.

It's an nice thought I wanted to share.
