We Must Stop Stealing from the Carrot Chasers to Ensure Economic Tranquility
We've all seen the silly cartoon where a carrot at the end of a pole hangs in front of someone who's trying to get it.
In business management we might call this an incentive, much the same way the corporate stock options are used to put golden handcuffs on executives.
If you want the carrot you have to keep running.
We all understand the philosophical arguments with these types of incentives.
Namely, that many of the incentives which are offered can never be actually achieved or gotten.
In other words; it's a trick.
If we want efficiency in our society and maximum productivity, occasionally we have to allow people to get to the carrots as an example that if you work hard you too can achieve a carrot.
However, if we go around stealing the carrots from those who have achieved those vegetables through maximum productivity, then we cannot main Economic Tranquility.
For instance, the Obama Administration wants to tax the rich, but many of these are business owners who have grown their business and achieved success in their lives have helped to grow our economy and provide jobs also.
If we over tax the winners, achievers, and the greatest producers of our society and steal those carrots from them only to redistribute them to individuals who are not productive, then we will lose productivity, a viable incentive, and destroy the strength of our economic base.
The reason that I bring this argument up using philosophical terms is because the political correctness involved in today's political climate is just too great - to call such bad policies what they are in public.
It saddens me to see that an American President would attempt to throw a divide between the rich and poor and to use class warfare to strengthen his political base.
It's not right, it's un-American, and it goes against the basic free-market capitalistic principles which have built this great nation.
Therefore in my opinion is totally unacceptable, and President Obama has said he wants to do the right thing by the American people - therefore he must resign.
If President Obama does not resign, and continues to run in the 2012 election then he is doing so in hypocrisy because he promised to do what was right for America.
The concept of "spreading the wealth" is a purely socialist philosophy.
In the United States if you want more wealth, you merely have to work for it - if you are unwilling to work for it then you don't deserve it.
If you are unable to work, there will be enough abundance through free markets and capitalism that those who have wealth and feel the empathy that comes with being a human being will give as they always have, they will do what's right without government intervention.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this because if we keep stealing carrots from the carrot chasers, then eventually they will stop chasing those false incentives, and our productivity will go to Haiti in a hand basket.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
