TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!

I often hear a good bit of “rich bashing” in the converstions I am involved in. I also hear a lot about the rights of the “the working person”. Is it possible to have a “working person” with out a “wealthy person” giving him or her a job? Is it possible to have a society that values both, where the “workers” respect the “owners” and the “owners” respect the “workers"?

Below is a statement by one of the great religious leaders of our time.
I wonder if he is telling it like it is?

“Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.”
Adrien Rogers

Do you not think it is about time that both sides of this “working” equation realize how much they need each other? Is there someone who will rise up and say ‘enough’ to the power struggles, the greed and disrespect, which is often found on both sides of the negotiation fence?

Who has the courage to look for new collaborative solutions?

There must be a better way than lock-outs and strikes.
