Re: If all the workers left tomorrow...

There are a lot of places on this planet with "workers" coming out their ears, but no capital, surplus wealth, or technological skills. Take a look at how they're doing.

Pray you are lucky enough to live in a society that has more millionaires than you can count. Where, if you have a moderate income, you are surrounded by people who have more money than you rather than less.

I live in a pretty nice environment because a lot of people around here are a lot richer than I am. They have a lot of surplus wealth. They build companies that have hired thousands of employees and created entire new industries. They support parks, museums, and the arts. They fund university facilities.

I live in an area rolling in property tax money from local corporations and "fat cats." A city that remodeled its downtown, built a new library, and put a theater on my daughter's school.

Where in God's name are we training people to hate wealth and commerce? Never mind, I already know.
