Have you ever seen the movie 2012? The movie is about the end of the world and it slowly gets destroyed throughout the movie. The Chinese government builds 3 arks, or giant submersible ships to hold only those that can afford entry, mainly the rich and powerful.
As I watched this movie I thought to myself, who is going to do all the grunt work after the world is safe again? All these rich and powerful fat cats that paid their billion dollar entry fee probably haven't ever cleaned a toilet.
We the people, the middle and lower class people are what make this planet move forward. We follow the regime, listen to our governments, vote for our politicians and for the most part follow the rules set by society. We pay our taxes and do the all the work that keeps this country moving forward.
Do you think the pyramids would have have gotten built if Egypt had no workers? If all the slaves decided they were not going to do it any more and banded together the only thing you would see in Egypt is sand dunes. The same holds true for all of us, we are not slaves (Well most of us) and we get paid for the work we do. If we decided that we have had enough of taxes and not being paid what we're worth, the powers that rule us wouldn't stand a chance.
Being rich and famous has no weight if we suddenly had to go to mars. The rich and famous would probably be more of a hindrance than a help. I have heard people say that if a cure for cancer was found only the rich and powerful would get it. That statement makes no sense knowing that the rich and powerful are only rich and powerful because of the people working underneath them, and to give yourself a cure and watch everyone else die would be just like shooting yourself in the face. Without us they are nothing.
It's true having money makes life easier, but without the people that you pay for with that money, it is completely useless.
If you were ever worried that someday the government would build giant spaceships and fly off into the unexplored universe and leave us all behind you can rest easy because they need us. They think they are the ones who rule? No.....
We Rule.
