A nation competting with itself

America is divided into 3 classes when it comes to this economy.
Rich(Elite, Capitalist)
Middle(Upper/lower)
Poor
Capitalism basically is making money for the rich and keeping the poor and middle class working by doing so. For example, pick your favorite brand right now, the creator of that brand has connections, employees, and other assets. How many times have the workers at Walmart ever been greeted by the Walton family ? We work hard for people that don't even care if we quit! The workers of the brand are making some money too, but the thing is that they are just working for another person and as long as they do, you might never see enough income, because a salary is chosen for you.
BUT can you blame the rich for wanting more money? That's what a person from any class would wanna see, plus they might of worked hard to get where they at.
Middle and poor classes, I really believe only hard work will put us on the right track.
I know people were laughing about that 18yr opening a clinic to practice gynecology, BUT we need more people with motivation and drive like that. That kid opened up his own shop,(regardless of what he was doing)he even had customers. Information nowadays is available everywhere, one of my teachers said "Learn the times or become slaves to it." I agree with this because that's how capitalism works. So if you learn about the things you use, how can you be stopped as a person? Then how can we be stopped as a people!? Things now are just warfare of the mind. Capitalism creates monopoly(one owner) which is a few people owning all property/goods in return they make the most money and cant lose. That causes monopsony(one buyer) also, with owners raising prices only the wealthy can be able to afford this stuff.
People look up to the person with a creation, but then don't want to create themselves. Its going to take more than a few(elites) running things! We should all have influence on this world IT'S OURS. I'll say this today, don't like the economy shape you, shape the economy!

Dont Chase Money, Chase Dreams

It's an old saying that "Money makes the world go around." I feel that as a people we take that term and forget what really is the fuel behind it...DREAMS.(goals) Of course money is lovely and who doesn't want a lot of it,(Well at least I do) but now that you want the money, how are you gonna get it? You have to have some avidity(desire) toward something to actually get the money.
Often times I go to work and see some of my co-workers bored to death, saying stuff like "I'm ready to go home" and "I'm tired of working here." You could say that they are just complaining,(which is true hahaha) but the reason they're complaining is because they're just there for the money and not because they love the job. Many times we find ourselves just working for a check and have no heart into what we are doing which leads to anger, sadness, and other negative emotions. I'm not saying if you have a job you do like quit today.. BUT I am saying if you have a dream or a goal that you want to accomplish start on that!
I have a job and go to school, but I still find  sometime to bang out these blogs as much as I can because I love encouraging all the people who read. No matter what age you are it's never too late to try something you always wanted to do. Whenever you get free time put some work into your gift, have fun and be happy! The person who works for themselves will always be happy and make more money anyways! The bad thing about working at a job you hate is the fact that you build negative energy and you lose the desire to chase that big dream you always wanted.
I wanna leave you with this, you can make a living doing what makes you happy, or you can just make it by doing something that might not be in your best interest. God has a purpose for everyone, and you should want what's yours!

The Road less traveled for Black People

Why would anyone want to oppress a person who has done nothing to them? I start off with this question to say that black people have been put down a lot in America. I know it is hard to rise past some of the struggles in life(everybody goes thru them) but as a people we need to try and solve something.
I know you tired of not having enough money or trying to make things stretch, and this is exactly why BLACK PEOPLE need to start taking the road less traveled(the hard way). I say this meaning that we need to try to become SELF-MADE lawyers, doctors, business owners, etc... It seems like nowadays everyone is content with not doing anything as far as real action. It's a lot of people just sitting back complaining, but the more you complain through life, the more it just passes you by....Where are the people that are tired of living the same way, where are the people that are tired of seeing their own go through struggle everyday. When you see your brother or sister struggling, you are supposed to help(encourage) them, instead we make fun of our own or we don't encourage them. If you encourage me and I encourage you.... goals will be accomplished that we never seen before. So if another black person does something you don't do!! That's them, that's their way of expression...and if you show them love, not only do you keep progress going, but you also bring that togetherness that black people should pass on. All I'm saying is that we as a people need to wake up and make the world around us, instead of trying to get out the way of obstacles.
Before I log off, I want yall to think about this.
WHAT ARE THE REWARDS FOR WORKING HARD?! good luck yall
