Eat the rich

I'd recently related a dream business idea I've had for some time to a friend. I've mentioned this idea, as well as some others, to a few other people I've known. But only in recent years have I been confronted by a very specific type of opposition.

It's not that the idea is bad. It, as had the others, seems rather sound. But the the fact that this business simply doesn't serve the rich draws incredible opposition. All who've opposed me backed up their allusions to my "naivete" with examples, they believe, are the only things which would make a business successful. Each example were things would only make the rich happier.

Why is it that -- particularly in the past few years -- we have all become servants to the rich? Look at the shops round us. Most every one caters only to those who have lots of money. The few businesses which serve the poor are still there -- some are not just successful, but are very successful. The poor aren't going away either. So, how have we come to believe that only serving the rich will make us successful?

How could such a thing happen? Is it possible that the rich, &, naturally, the government who are composed, primarily, of the rich, might, somehow, have brainwashed us all into thinking that we are free? So free, in fact, that we have become so distracted by other things, that we don't see that we're all just serving the rich?

So, a business aimed at serving anyone other than the rich -- aimed, specifically, at ignoring the rich -- could only be doomed to fail...? I don't think so. I firmly believe that while there will always be rich, there will be those who are not aware of the fact that they are nothing more than servants, or slaves. In turn, someone has to give them some form of refuge -- whether one is aware of such a place being a refuge, or not.

OK. So, maybe it's a stretch -- a long one -- to think that the rich could consciously manipulate us into unwittingly becoming their servants -- maybe, but it's pretty clear that this is what has happened. We're all trapped. We're all enslaved to not just money, but to those who have much of it.

Would that we could see an end to globalization, an end to our enslavement, an end to poverty, & war, & the desire for more toys. Would that we could see an end to greed &, power, & the inevitable abuse of power.

Would that we could see an end to all these stupid ills surrounding us every day.
