The *Nixed Report

my Tolstoy roots bleeding freely
Charles Findley

You can not stop the march of time, because time is inevitable. So, you can not simply quit time, however labor and work can be abandoned.

In the hierarchy of what is in its essence a corporate sovereignty, the work force of our world today is a mill being run in reverse. This is a world where the insignificant higher ups prosper by exerting very little force themselves, only being driven along by the essentially more significant yet unrecognised force of the laborer and the working man.

In such a backwards society, we find that the hard working so-called menial laborers are merely surviving on an exponentially lower salary and hourly wage while the lesser working and much more comfortable higher ups amass lofty salaries and wages in their positions. It can hardly be argued that this isn't the case.

You can look at any machine and see that the similarities are quite obvious to that of society. You have on one hand many small cogs, and at the end a larger wheel. The many small cogs turn and grind one after the other, each doing his own part. The effect is that the larger wheel, resting upon the many hard working and grinding cogs, turns almost effortlessly itself.

No matter what the final effect of the larger wheel, it could not be brought about without the many cogs to do the actual work. So in consideration, it is plain to see that all of the cogs are indeed more significant than that final larger wheel, because without them, that wheel would not turn.

Think for a moment now of today, of the work force, of the corporate machine. The laws that govern these are no different than that which sets the large wheel in motion. The hard working laborers and people of low and middle class society are the cogs that keep the wheel of upper high society in motion, and this must be recognised.

The insignificant higher ups get paid more money than the harder working more significant others. Why is this? I am one of these struggling hard working "menial" laborers and I don't enjoy one-third of my hard earned paycheck, which is too low in the first place, being stripped of me automatically in taxes and dues. Yes taxes are justifiable and necessary system, but there needs to be some checks and balances in order regarding the current affair of wages. This "minimum wage" is too low in regard to the cost of living no matter where you live. Work and work, fourteen hours a day committed to it, and nothing else. With the necessity of sleep, this is no life at all. This is the condemnation of the menial laborer and his life in its entirety. When will there be time for my constitutional right as an American for the pursuit of happiness? No doubt it is when I am sixty years old and retiring with a pension, if I'm lucky enough to hold a position with the same company for so long, and assuming that the future does not hold in store some hinderance to this which I have worked for today. When is there going to be time for me to meet a good woman and to start a family, and how is it there will be a moral upbrining secured for my unborn children all things considered?

No, no this is quite unacceptable and there does need to be changes towards a more progressive society. It is how it is today, but if things continue in this manner, how will the world look tomorrow? What will we have left to be inherited to our children? For the sake of whatever god be you of, at least think of the future today.

There is an effect occurring in response to this backwards operation that is quite counter productive to society and negatively affects the nation as a whole. The way to be wealthy and thus happy in life is to strive for careers that allow a surplus of both free time and sufficient income enough to live somewhat comfortably. Unfortunately these careers are those of the upper class, which yield little significance in the whole of things, and require much less actual work than their menial counterparts.

This thing being considered, look onto the careers of menial labor. Most of these jobs are looked down upon because they are underpaid positions, the hours are usually longer, and the work is in many ways harder, and thus undesirable. These jobs don't fit in with the dream of a life pursuant of happiness. The reason for this is purely an invented one; and simply accepted as it is a bi-product of the society which we are born into.

Here you have a nation of people all striving for this dream of happiness, this fabricated and backwards dream which could so easily be thrown into reverse for the better.

People see that the easier jobs are higher paying, and the harder menial jobs don't pay enough, thus encouraging on entire generations to strive towards laziness as though glorifying it, and be apalled at hard work.

What then if these positions were suddenly slammed into reverse? What would be the product of a situation where menial labor jobs were receiving the salary of higher upper class positions and the latter being paid that of the former? Ask yourself, would all of these people who are now making minimum wage at their once so insignificant lazy well paying jobs be flocking out in masses to obtain menial labor jobs to secure their welfare and current standard of living? Or would they indeed slip and fall into the ranks as the new middle or lower class...
