I remember reading an excerpt a while back that summed up the core issue in most economies. Someone asked an economical analytics expert if it was possible for everyone in the US to be a billionaire. They of course answered "No, only a small percentage would be systematically able to attain such wealth". Then they were asked if everyone in the US could be a millionaire. Same answer, only it was slightly more attainable. What about everyone in the US making six figures?! Again, the mathematics proved that only a certain percentage could attain that lifestyle. It finally wittles down to "Can everyone who works afford the cost of living anywhere in the US?" When the numbers were crunched, depending on where they lived and the population, the answer was no. There simply aren't enough high paying jobs. Welfare was the bottom line option. So if everyone works and contributes to society, we still have a significant percentage of people depending on welfare. Is this the worker's fault or the employer's? Or the government's? Who's to blame? Or is this the natural situation for our current economy? We accuse people who make small earnings of not moving up in society as they should, but someone else simply replaces them in their low wage job because that's the only option they have. Why do we blame the workers for low wages?
