Give a man a fish and he`ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he`ll eat for a lifetime. But teach a man to fish efficiently, and he`ll open up a business.

Imortal opens the door to the underlying premise that too many people simply don`t understand, or they`re just ignoring. There`s really no such thing as an "economy." Nor is there any such thing as a "society."

These are terms we apply, using human minds, to build an idea....a concept in our mind so we can manipulate that concept.

What does exist are people. Individual people. What also exists are things. Individual things.

An "economy" is the concept we use to examine the large-scale movement of "things" as "people" trade back and forth. A "society" is the concept we use to examine lots of people acting in some sort of organized way.

We may end up without any money in our economy, but that doesn`t mean all the people will suddenly vanish. Nor does it mean all the things will disappear. So for example, if you own a house and you want to get rid of it, you may find it easier to trade the house for a car or a paper-clip or a bike.

But the house won`t vanish. You won`t vanish.

The money we`ve been using used to be backed by a general assumption that the government was balancing each dollar with some portion of the real things moving around. That "credibility" allowed us to use money for intangible things like services.

Without any credibility, the money symbols mean nothing at all.

We definitely need to keep in mind this basic principle. Money is one thing, but people and things are totally different from money.

Just so, there`s quite a big difference between being rich, and being wealthy.

There are four people on one side, and you arguing the other. If there are two planets involved in this debate, you aught to encourage your planet-mates to join the fun. They`re hiding. Craig`s on the highly populated planet.

Why yes, Rodillon...I AM from another planet! The place where I live, we call Earth. And we`re always pleased to meet with people from less developed planets.

The current unemployment rate is in the low-mid 7s, last I knew. I heard 7.2 a while back, and I thought I heard it hit 7.6. I don`t know precisely where it is now, but that`s still a small number. Even a record high rate of unemployment is a small number. Out of every thousand people who can and want to work, only 72-76 can`t. That`s a number the government would love to get lower, but it`s hardly the end of the world. Of those 76, how many are unemployed, and how many refuse to be underemployed?

I was unemployed once. My first job went out of business. I was unemployed for a long time, I used up my possible benefits to that point. I could`ve had a job though. I have to wonder how many current unemployed are like I was. I refused to work jobs I felt were below me. Originally, this was a very high bar to pass. I was only going to work a job which required my degree. Desperation caused it to gradually lower, but I got a job before it reached "part time job with high school kids at grocery store" low. Standards are a big hurdle to lowering that unemployment statistic. More so than "rich people not hiring".

You need to put tuns effert into increasing the value of your services - whatever that might be.  That will help you a lot more than to put tuns effert into blaming people with money for your lack of money.
 
By the way, the blue check mark beneath the ABC on the tool bar above is a spelling checker.

What also might help is just typing each post into MS Word. It`ll help you with punctuation. I can make sense of most spelling errors easy enough, if I have context to go on. For instance, I knew you weren`t really asking if Craig was from a different plant. The hard part is trying to figure out how to read a statement. Punctuation helps all the stresses and sentence flow fall together. 

For example:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster that evening because I watch The Simpsons so often.

Did I mean:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster this evening, because I watch The Simpsons so often. In this sentence I know that Homer is causing a disaster. I know it because I watch The Simpsons often. Homer is at fault, and I know it because I watch regularly.

Did I mean:
I knew that Homer Simpson would cause a disaster that evening because I watch The Simpsons so often. In this sentence the disaster Homer is going to cause is a result of my watching The Simpsons so much. I`m at fault, and I know it.

Sentences change wildly in meaning depending on how you punctuate them. Every little bone you can throw a reader in properly interpreting your thoughts will help us better respect your opinion.
