Social Inequity

This was posted, or passed on by a friend of mine on facebook.
This is in reaction to the we are the 99 percent movement. Which is a subset of the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. 

This is it

This blog is mainly here to serve as a dreamcatcher. Maybe one day it will be filled with ideas and powerful political opinions and writing. For now it will serve as a net for thoughts and ideas that I see that pertain to economics and human decisions, and happiness.

As this video was what inspired me to start this blog, it will be the centerpiece of the first post. I have always believed that inequality is a root of evil, a despot of human welfare. This video point the finger of science at the despot and names it.

This is why living for profit is wrong, why inherently when we use a system that incentives the exploitation of other people, that is what will happen, and everyone suffers.
