The Rich Man, Poor Man, and the Power Man

For years, I thought it was the rich man who represented the elite. I thought the war that was being fought was rich versus poor (the have versus the have not).

I think it's time that both groups (rich and poor) realize that there is another force we are dealing with, and that the class warfare that we would normally think of as rich versus poor is not true at all.

I think that the powerful have used the rich for their money, and the poor for their votes. I think that there is something wrong with a man that declares to one group that “it is better for all”, while he declares for the other group, “it will make you more wealthy”.

This means that the powerful (there is Rich, Poor, and Powerful) will keep playing this card until he reaches his end. I imagine his end is the domination of the world, but in his quest so far, 100 percent of the time, he has failed while millions have lost money and lives.

The rich need to fear the powerful with equal fervor as the poor. The powerful use greed to manipulate the rich. The powerful use fear to manipulate the poor.

George Washington could have been considered a rich man, but was never an enemy to the poor.

I think the poor man's best friend is the rich man who has a soul, a heart. The rich man who is manipulated by greed will not change.

There is a 4th man, not rich, not poor, not powerful. No. This man is the “Love Man”. Yes.

Believe it or not, there are truly some people who care about others more than they care about money, power, fear, or greed. And sometimes these men, the Love Man, can fall into several groups.

Love + Power = Jesus (and there are others)
Love + Poor = Mother Teresa (is near the top of the list)
Love + Rich = (Your Father when you were a child) and James Madison

I will end on asking what your thoughts are. One man cannot have all of the answers. I just wanted to share with you that I think many Americans, many “Worldans” are being played against each other. I believe that there are some good, and powerful people in this world, the sea of evil. The Sea of Evil... The Land of Good...?
