Posted by Broadway Lion on Fri Nov 23 10:59:01 2007, in response to Re: Economic Discussions (Derived from: FOIA For Photos), posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Nov 23 10:30:01 2007. The Creation of Wealth *begins* at the hands of LABOR. Something of value is made. A Laborer is paid, goods are purchased.If I sit here on SubChat, I am producing NOTHING, and nothing is added to the economy. If on the other hand, I produce a web site for a customer, then I *have* produced something of value, and that value is added to the wealth of the country. It is not surprising, is it, that this wealth flows upwards. The money that was given to me for creating that web site is paid to the internet provider, to the software vendor, to the power company. That which I keep (as if *I* kept *any* money) is spent at the Hobby Shop to buy more subway trains. And *he* spends that money to operate his store, and to purchase goods from China. But *I* Have spent the money, and no longer have it, although my life is enriched by more subway trains. Without the "rich" who invested money in tools and dies, no subway trains could have been created for my layout, and I would be stuck running Athern BRC behind some old RS-1 locomotives. So God Bless the RICH, for they enrich all of us. ROAR |
