The “profit motive” should be considered perverse, anti-human and a crime against humanity.

 Let me preface this piece by stating that; “A human should not have to pay to exist on the planet where they were born.”

 

“Profit,” or “Usury” are both the same, and a horrible thing to be perpetrated against a fellow human being. If you are a believer in God, you should know this. If you don’t believe in God, you have bigger issues to deal with.

 

Let’s have a look at “Profit:” let’s say that I have apples that cost me $0.10 cents per pound to grow and deliver to market. At market, I tell you that if you want to eat apples,  you need to pay me $0.15 cents per pound to buy my apples. At this point, I make a 50% “profit.”

 

Let’s have a look at “Usury:” let’s say that I have an ounce of gold that cost me $20.00 (20 dollars) per ounce to obtain. At the bank, I tell you that if you want to borrow my gold to use any way you want,  you need to pay me $22.00 (22 dollars and 00 cents) per ounce to use my gold. At this point, I make a 10% “profit.”

 

In either case, you want what I have, and I am going to make you pay me a “profit” to get it!

 

Let’s think about that or a second…are either of these circumstances “fair” to the human beings that want to eat or use capital funds? Think hard. Would it be more “fair’ for the apple seller to sell his apples at $0.11 cents per pound and take a lesser 10% profit? Or would it be more “fair” for a banker to loan out his gold at a rate of 0.10%? The question is what is “Fair” and to whom is it fair?  What is an acceptable “Profit?”

 

The question is: “Is it fair, or “just” for one human on the planet to profit from another human on the planet?”  If so, is there a “Fair & Just” amount of “profit” that one human on the planet charges from another human on the planet?  I think there is….

 

Unfortunately, some humans on this planet don’t, they think that whatever profit they want, or whatever profit they can get, is good. It is not.

 

Now lets say that even if there was a “fair” profit for whatever, you, as the profiteer, could say; “well, apples are in short supply, so I am justified in charging more profit for my apples.” Maybe that is so and maybe you chose to only pick half of your apple crop so as to make apples scarce, then are you justified in charging more profit for your apples?

 

What if you picked all of your apple crop and had plenty to sell, but you paid people to go into the street and cry out; “Oh help us, apples are in short supply!” so as to make people believe that apples were scarce, so you could charge more for your apples? Would that be Fair & Just for you to do?

 

How about if you were a banker and you bought gold that cost $20.00 an ounce, but you got together with other bankers and all agreed that gold was now worth $30.00 dollars an ounce? Then you told your customers that you would loan them your gold at the same old low 10% rate as before? Would that be fair? You bought the gold for $20.00 an ounce, said it was worth $30.00 an ounce at 10% interest and collected $33.00 per ounce in repayment? Would that be fair & just of you to do?

 

Well sorry! None of the above would be fair or just of you to do to your fellow human beings. 

 

The only reason that any of us human beings think this is fair and just is that the profiteers have conned us into believing so. You have been conned into thinking that profiteers are  OK making 10%, 20%, 30% or 100% from you, a human being who lives on this planet and was even born here!

 

When you figure out that your leaders are part of the con game, that media is part of the con game, that your hope of making such profits are part of the con game, and then shun the profiteers for what they are; perverse users of fellow human beings, who profit at your expense, who are anti-human beasts who care more for profit than for their fellow humans, then you might realize what is to be human. Which, by the way, is to care for your fellow human beings who were born on this planet.

 

Don’t leave me comments about returns on capital, or markets, or free enterprise of any of that other lying crap, if you do it just means you bought the lie. You are deluded, you are inhuman, you are perverse and you should be tried for crimes against humanity.

 

“A human should not have to pay to exist on the planet where they were born.” You should have to work at it, but never to pay another human profit or usury.
