Wealth can and must be created

Wealth can and must be created

That simple truth is a game changer. It's revolutionary. Literally.
Where people believe the fiction that wealth merely exists, like air, they demand that whatever wealth there is be divided and distributed equally. Usually by government. Because if the amount of wealth in the United States or in the world is fixed, after all, then why should some people have more than others?
Further, if the amount of wealth is fixed, then one person who has more necessarily means something was taken from someone else. This is why misguided citizens stomp around protesting for things like increases in the government-mandated minimum wage and similar laws.
But introducing the truth that wealth can and must be created changes a person's entire perspective. They start to look at the world differently. Because the idea that wealth is created contains the seeds of hope and optimism for a better future.
If wealth can and must be created, and if wealth is created by offering some kind of work that others value, then ANYONE can create new wealth. In fact, where individual freedom and personal property are secure by law, EVERYONE can create new wealth if they want. Because one person working to create new wealth by producing value for others in no way prevents someone else from doing the exact same thing.
Helpful little lesson for your employees, yes? Perhaps students, too? That lesson and others are bundled together in a training program called "Upward," available right now at speakeasyideas.com. If you're looking to DO something -- ACTUALLY doing something, rather than merely complaining about how bad things have become! -- then get your employees or students enrolled in Upward. What are you waiting for? For things to get better on their own?
