Wanting To Earn An Honest Living

Middle class workers want to earn a good living advancing careers for themselves. Some workers
want to do their years, get their raises, and some promotions, while saving a little to augment
what they will collect in retirement benefit.
Some workers want to get into management as quickly as possible, and avail themselves of
whatever leadership opportunity their company offers.
There are workers who are trying to work long enough to save a college fund for a relative. They are otherwise secure enough to travel, or pursue some other business or interest.
There are no workers who have each decided to work for pennies until the day they die, having
enough to eat a little but not marry or live alone or have children, except in Iran.
No, people in Iran don't want it either. Many of them live that way to escape the violence of the
crazies of the guard, and that of the Ayotllahs.
The reason the American worker system works generation after generation, is because it gives
so many people chances to earn a good living, and it gives so many others a chance to work a way into some job provider class.
In that way, American innovation works generatively.
One generation takes the world pulse, then carries improvements to keep it throbbing on into the
next generation.
Not all economies encourage innovation.
Chinese students tell me repeatedly that they have babies; but if the baby needs a onesie, it's
going to get one or more- but the choices among those in your baby's size will be just about
non-existent.
In America, choice and opportunity advance civilization.
Money people want that to grind to a halt.
Why should it? No one gets rich unless someone produces. Product is king. That's the only way
money was meant to rule.
