Transcript of Day6: The third P is Piracy, we must stop increases in Piracy.
A way to understand what is happening in the world today, is to realize that Wall Street, global corporations, and most governments are basically modern day pirates. Pirates look for opportunities to rake in lots of money quickly which is what Wall Street does. Pirates do not care about the consequences of their actions, and neither does Wall Street nor global corporations. Pirates rake in more money than they can use, so they bury it in Swiss bank accounts and offshore investments. Pirates rake in obscene amounts of money, simply to be the richest pirate. Every billionaire is proof of piracy.
People don’t comprehend big numbers like a billion. Here is an analogy which helps us realize how excessive greed has become. If we take a one-foot ruler and say that 1 inch represents $80,000, most would say that is a large amount of money. 1 foot would represent about $1 million or what most people dream of having. If 1 foot represents $1 million, how large is $1 billion? Almost as high as the Empire State Building… an insane amount of money for one person. Many billionaires could spend $1 million every day and die before they spent it all. But billionaires want even more billions, because they are only interested in becoming the richest pirate and don’t care about the consequences of their actions. However, even many pirates know that out-of-control greed is causing global financial disasters and hardships throughout the world.
Is it a surprise to find that our train has been hijacked by pirates? Is it a surprise to find out that pirates have rigged the train for their benefit, even if it is detrimental to the other 99% of us?Â
Tomorrow is UT’s solution to halt piracy increases. Pirates need to hear the solution, as the majority will come to support it in time. http://middleway2012.com
This 23 minute video created by the Occupy movement clarifies how the pirates are manipulating the system to pillage our society. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p473X6A9YVI
