The Few at the Top, make the Most

This is so common, few notice it. But they should. Because this determines how much is left for the rest of us.

Still, the rest of us are reluctant to ask the important question "How much are you grabbing for yourself?" This is not a question they are supposed to ask, and they take a big chance asking it. They are supposed to take whatever they get, and not complain about it.

What happens in any company, or any other organization, in our Capitalist economy? You know the Golden Rule - "Those that have the Gold, make the rules."

This also applied in Communist countries. Stalin, for example, not only got everything - he send anyone who disagreed with him to the Gulag.

The few at the top, are the same everywhere. The only question we have to ask is - how many of them are there? Compared to the rest of us.

This is an easy question to ask, but a hard one to answer. In America, for example, how many are at the top? Impossible to say, because they take care to be invisible. And because the few were difficult to define - just where do you draw the line?

Those at the top take care to blur the boundary, by promoting a few who are not really them, but close to them.
