Dear 1%

I know you like having it. Money. Power. Fame.

Everyone wants it. People usually want to earn it.

Most of you have inherited it. Or manipulated things so you can keep it.

There’s just one thing.

If you succeed in obtaining all the money - money then becomes worthless.

The majority, those “unwashed masses” you sneer and jeer at from your balconies as they struggle for a slice of justice beneath you… they’re going to realise that money is becoming worthless and switch to other methods of exchange.

Once the common throng no longer agrees that slips of linen with intricate printing on them are worth something… well… you’re in big trouble.

You’ll have no more power, for a start.

The only fame you possess will be as an object of ridicule.

And the money? Returned to fiction. Everyone else will be trading in -say- hours of work accomplished.

Your best interests are to share some of your wealth. That keeps the system going. Not sharing only hurts yourself in the long run.

Thankyou for your time.
