"Riching out to the Poor and Middle Class"

Photo: Rich people...the wealthy, the one percent! To tax them or not to tax them is the question? I can see it a couple ways. First off lets just agree the tax benefit is meant to benefit the rich. But why is that such a bad thing? I mean it's an incentive right? Too encourage people to try their best, shoot for their dreams. Let them take the money they would have spent on taxes and reinvest in their business therefore creating jobs ever further strengthening the world economy. But their are a couple things wrong with the system non the less... we've just been asking the wrong questions. I would argue that their does need to be a cap of some sort with moral loopholes. What I mean is that if an entrepreneur makes it big such as Henry Ford with "Ford" company or even Mark Zuckeber with "facebook" and they acquire a massive amount of wealth from it should they get to keep the majority of it? I don't think so. I mean don't get me wrong they deserve the most but not to the e-xtreams we see today.They way I see it no one person can ever do anything with the the help, passion, work, blood, sweat, tears and lives of others. So the way I see it, the top executives making the majority percentage of money is I think a way out of balance system. The money should be more distributed to the people on all levels of the company and or outsourced services and partnerships. I don't believe the more capable or willing have the right to make massive amounts of fortune off the backs of other Americans, but I do realize I am hesitant to draw a definite line of where that is.  But the interesting things we know its a flawed system. Here's how. "Most of us believe that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is with external rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That’s a mistake, Daniel H. Pink says in, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, his provocative and persuasive new book. The secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He demonstrates that while carrots and sticks worked successfully in the twentieth century, that’s precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today’s challenges. In Drive, he examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose—and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action.    

So Their is a two fulled approach, one empower entrepreneurs more in the beginning, really empower and support them and have it tapper off over the years. This also servers as an earmark protector in which the companies or non profit that aren't' effective fall off and the money goes back to support other incoming ones.  Second is empower the people. You can't necessarily blame the rich for wanting to hold on to the money they make. Heck, the majority of rich people give more percentage then that  of the middle or the poor. So that's why we need more successful people. How to do that.. well motivation is one of the solutions. To find out the others make sure to like us and follow along in the discussion your voice matters....even more than your vote.
Let me know your thoughts and opinion's on my new blog. I really appreciate feed back of all kinds.
