The dash poem

I found this video posted on my FB Timeline recently. It seemed like some pretty good info at first, but the deeper I got into it, the more it rubbed me up the wrong way and pretty soon it was evident that there is some very messed up thinking being propagated out there concerning the distribution of wealth in America. So, heres my \”rock\” in response. Throw it far and wide if you dare 🙂   There are some crazy assumptions made here: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMfCnR9DGuk] 1. The majority of wealth is owned by employed CEO\’s – FALSE. CEO\’s earn and spend their massive wealth in the same way as the rest of 95% America and most are just as broke. They have higher mortgages, bigger car payments, higher lifestyle maintenance, more tax, greater domestic struggles and so forth. The true wealth in America is owned by the 5% of Americans who not only have wealth, but also wealth \”thinking\”. They have learned the skills to work hard, work smart, over time and deserve every penny they have managed to keep. Most of these are NOT CEO\’s, but owners and entrepreneurs. The CEO\’s in this group are also Owners who have already \”distributed\” their wealth by sharing their success with public investors. 2. Average Americans \”waking up to the reality\” will change things – FALSE. Simply coming to the realization that things are a lot different to what they thought changes nothing. Information without action is nebulous. Along with waking up there needs to be acting up. None of the skills required to become wealthy are acquired at birth. They are ALL learned. Even the poorest and most disadvantaged can learn to earn and accumulate wealth at their particular level of lifestyle. The problem is that broke living is the byproduct of broke thinking. Someone who is broke at $7 an hour will still be broke at $70 an hour. The thinking has to change. 3. The solution is to be found in the fair distribution of wealth. TRUE. However the fairest distribution of wealth is for all Americans to be exposed to wealth thinking – Long Term Thinking, Delayed Gratification, and The Power of Compounding. There is more to be learned but these are a good start. According to Robert Kiosaki (The Cash Flow Quadrant), 95% of Americans earn 5% of the wealth while 5% earn 95% of the wealth. He maintains correctly that the 95% are made up of employees and self employed while 5% are Business Owners and Entrepreneurs with the two groups separated only by different thinking applied to opportunity. The American job is not the solution, nor is it the basis of the America Dream. In fact I believe the sad state of the American family is the result of the American job. Obviously jobs are necessary to maintain society, and there are many right thinking citizens holding jobs that they love. Wealth thinking applied in these cases can provide the same successful lifestyle as the 5% sans the wealth. The issue here is not jobs but slavery. People who are slaves to broken thinking and to what they do. They don\’t see any way out, and in fact the majority have become \”Happy in their Subserviency\” (Huxley – Brave New World). The decline of wealth for the 95% in America is a result if the the same poor thinking perpetuated from a misguided government who have instilled in our society the concept of learned incompetence and dependency – happy subserviency. In Leadershift by Orrin Woodward and Oliver de Mille. Americas decline is attributed to Five Laws. Sturgeons Law – 90% of everything is crud; Bastiats Law – Given repeated  \”Handouts\” and entitlements, society will eventually habitually take whatever they can get without working for it – the line of least resistance; Greshams Law – when the bad or lesser is consistently perpetuated over time it will eventually drive out the good; The Law of Diminishing Returns – you CAN have too much of a good thing. The more you experience of the good thing, your overall happiness and satisfaction will decline; Law of Inertia – a culture moving in a particular direction will increase its velocity until an outside force acts upon it. In an earlier writing De Mille outlines a recipe for socio economic reform which has nothing to do with the socialist model being proposed by the ignorant masses. What we need to bring about reform is a grassroots movement of citizens who will commit to the following: 1. Become Voracious Readers – read good books including the bible, and give careful thought to what you read (including the fine print). 2. Pursue Tribal Mentality – Connect with a community of similar minded Rascals who have character born out of integrity multiplied by courage. Seek them out and associate with intention. 3. Seek out Entrepreneurial enterprise. Gain control of your future by defining the life you want, associating and learning from those who have the results that you desire, and then doing the things they do. I would add one more – with all your heart, pursue your God given purpose. We all have one. It consists of a light he has given us that was placed there for the whole world to see. It is unique and powerful and brings glory to Him when men and women see the good works that rise up as a result (Matt 5:16) Remember, be true to yourself. Your success is a byproduct if personal integrity. Fight the Good Fight!
