Why the Occupy People and too Much Welfare are Futile Efforts

There is an apocryphal story that you have heard.

If you took 100 people from all strata of economic situations, welfare, middle class, very wealthy, occupy wall street folks, commodity traders, the guy who works at the convenience store. A full on cross section.

IF you gave all of them a hundred thousand dollars, making them all equal in 3 years what would be your prediction.

OH, one codicil, they would have to be anonymous and unable to tap into any of their current relationships, arrangements or resources. They would have to do the best they could with the resources they have. It would be best if you could move them each to a different city where they knew no one.

This would require that each person live by their wits and abilities.

What do you think would happen? Well it has been tried.

In the end, those who had been wealthy, were once again.

Those who were poor became poor again.

Those in the middle ended up in the middle.

The truth is you are what you decide to be. You have no future except that which you decide to become. People are not poor because they don't have opportunity. It's because they do not believe nor understand what it takes to become wealthy.

So, go ahead destroy capitalism. The ones at the top, the wealthy who you displace will be back where they were in a few years and the Occupy people will be still protesting.

Makes me sad.

People are as prosperous as they make their mind up to be.

The Bible says, YOUR Gift will make room for you. That's true in the natural as well.
