Social Contract

There are classes in society, with each class having its role. The upper class are people whose job is to ease the life of the other lower classes. Toiling all day long to create food, sanitation, the very stuff that we need to live in a society - that kind of work sucks and is something we do not ask of the upper class to do. Everyone gives a small part of what they need to sustain their own lives to a few people, and these people do not have to toil, instead they create luxury, things to make us laugh, things to entertain us, science to ease our heavy burdens, etc. We give them a small part of our life, and they are to make the rest of it worth living.

This has changed, people just want to be one hit wonders then live out their days in luxury. The social contract has been broken. These people are not creating for the masses! Part of the contract for them to never have to toil is that they are to spend their lives entertaining us. Sure, Britney, Lindsey, and Paris have been engaging in some pussy flashing lately, but is that enough? Are they really taking people's minds off of their own pathetic lives? Or are they just encouraging people to want to be free from toil without ever having to produce anything for society?

The libertarian philosophy says that people have wealth equal to the value that they bring to society. If they bring no value, they should be poor. If they bring a lot of value, their wealth soars. This doesn't work any more with the wealth and population of the world on the increase. It is now much easier for leeches to appear. People can appear, take a small piece of wealth from everyone with the multiplier of population being so large that they never have to really create any value. The system is heading for collapse!

I say we put them to work! Produce for us! Stop traveling the world to show what a big heart you have by adopting from a different country - make another CD or movie instead and let the rest of us deal with the pain of life. They need to live out their lives in riches and be pumping out the entertainment as well!
