What is wrong with the following word pictures?
1. The "Occupy" kids want (and are coached to want) a publicly financed but no work salary. I have heard nothing about their needing (or wanting) jobs. The Bible says each man is responsible.
2. European nations are failing financially because they have given themselves excessive wages that productivity can't pay. Man's greed, being strong, prevents them from accepting wages that if lower would allow poor people to survive. Same problem in Wisconsin. Many have voted to receive too big a share. They would rather destroy the state than to accept reasonable pay.
3. State/federal officials have voted themselves exessive salaries -- disguised as earned. Some do earn it but most eagerly accept so-called fair salaries they haven't earned. Money is short so they have stolen cost-of-living-allowance money from the people (see Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism by Kevin Phillips).
Unfairness has spread to many greeders, having no fair solution. Any country can fail using this formula for finance. See Italy, Spain, Greece, for starters.
