About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Two True Americans

I heard a wonderful story last night on
ABC's Nightline.
See the source image
The story was about
Dan Price.
CEO
and founder of
"Gravity Payments"
in
Seattle.
What this man did recently,
was cut his salary from 1 million dollars a year,
to $70,000.00 a year!
All because he wanted to find a way for his 149 employees to receive a pay raise this year.
Everyone who works for
Gravity Payments
now has an annual salary of $70,000.00.
Dan Price
started the company in 2004
and now feels,
to help his company grow larger,
and to be more competitive in the future,
it all starts with having a strong employee base who believe in the company they are working for.
Finally,
someone who sees that a
Financially Secure
makes a
Happy
and dedicated
Workforce.
***** 
Also on the program was
Nick Hanauer.
Who is a
Venture Capitalist.
He is part of the 1% of elite rich
Americans.
He predicts,
that if the top 1% don't turn this trend around,
of the
Rich Getting Richer,
and everyone else
Getting Poorer,
we will eventual end up in a
World
of a only having a
Two Class System.
Which I have
Commented On
in this
Blog
many times.
To summarize his belief,
this country will eventually turn into a
Police State.
He believes a two class system can only lead to three things for this country.
Violence against the
Rich Elitists,
a
Police State,
and eventually a
Revolution
against the existing
Government.
Now,
if only the rest of the
1%
would come to their senses like he has,
and the
Republicans
would stop fighting to get rid of
President Obama's Healthcare Plan,

and
Corporations
in this country would voluntarily raise their
Employee Pay Scale
so we can have a
Healthier
and
Happier Work Force,

then this country can once again call itself,
"The Land Of The Free!"
Because I'm not the only one storing up
Ammunition,
Weapons,
Explosives,
and
Food
to put an end to this discrepancy!
Or am I?

This is,
Actually,
I No Longer Condone Violence As An Option.
But I Do Know People Who Do.
Jim Hauenstein,


And,

“The world is administered by rich but it is constructed by the poor.”
- Amit Kalantri, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
