Minimum Wage

Educating the public, from a very young age, as to what is involved in a decent and acceptable standard of living, along with their collective and individual responsibilities to maintain, grow and develop their society. No one should be left behind; education must reach all, with meals and healthcare provided, and other social services to reach the most vulnerable. No one should be too far in front; taxing the richest ten percent of the population, will reduce immoral activities, and help finance social programs.

A standard of living that is firstly, made possible by marketable production, not just productivity for the sake of reducing unemployment statistics, generating revenue from the sale of goods and services that are financially viable to produce and is clearly in demand. A standard of living that is secondly, evenly divided geographically, across all preferred economic sectors and, more importantly, seen to be fairly distributed amount all in the society, building a majority of middle class citizens.

Public vs. Private

Governing is a difficult responsibility, especially with declining tax revenues and if the population does not understand the system, whether caused by gaps in the education curriculum or by errors in media pronouncements; rumors rather than facts fueling public opinions. The driving force in a free market economy is ideas; dreams that any citizen can become a leader, imagining that anyone can become a role model and thoughts that every employee can become an employer. Many in public service, an institution that runs on trepidation and nepotism, feel stuck with their ambitions shattered. Yet, these are the people that are empowered to implement policies and facilitate economic development and growth.

Defining Politics Clarification

Our most sincere apologies to all in the audience that have to exercise the mind, through the ranting of the document titled “Defining Politics”, some got it, others did not. These documents continue to be edited down to five hundred words, sometime removing large, complex and important sentences. The objective remains to reach and encourage a mass audience, of varying educational backgrounds, with an interest in understanding business and its surrounding issues. The publisher of these ideas has first rights, which means they edits and disseminates to all others, but the responsibility of the topics are solely ours.

Defining Politics

It is said, “Politics is about the distribution of power”. This maybe idealistic but in practice, is a necessary immorality and comfort for a fool. I believe that it is a control mechanism set out to divide the masses, using any means necessary so that the minority groupings with never have equal power, clearly discriminating against the individual and focusing to protect wealth. Many examples exist, in all types of political systems, to support this believe but it all comes down to the majority of wealth, to purchase influence.

No Politics Zone

Within the hallow chamber of the legislature, where laws are made giving effect to decisions of the executive, there must be no mention of political allegiance while debating issues that will affect the entire population. Party politics has it place and purpose, this having been done; brings on the serious work of building a society, which should be seen by all as an exchange of ideas to strengthen policies and programs, and to be above the attacks of party politics.

Wealthy Legacy

Wealth is more about power and influence than about being rich or having money. A popular joke says; a rich person gets paid a lot of money but a wealthy person signs that pay check. This implies that commitment, training, opportunity and sound financial management can and will make you rich. The joke also implies that one person can be wealthy. The truth however, is that all economic systems, presently in existence, rely on controlling the masses, by fear or by favor. That horrid knock on the door in the middle of the night, seizing all things of value, simply because you visibly have more than others, in some systems is not a crime.

Parenting

The very survival of society must focus on problem solving rather than social differences. With common challenges such as, climate change and its rippling effects, deadly and highly infectious diseases and other doomsday projections looming, individual distinctions can only distract from the mission. Well thought out and practical solutions can only come from fully engaged and informed minds.

Teaching children respect, not just for each other but for themselves, allows for another creative member of society, that when trained in the systems under which society functions, becomes more focus on communal solutions as opposed to self gratification. Education cannot take place in a vacuum, learning is universal. So when a child ask about the purpose of a particular lessen, each and every member of society must be able to answer, it is about the collective quality of life.

Re-Sectioning

Many international economists are presently speaking of a double dip recession, as some G20 countries turn inward, reducing imports, and essentially closing traditional export markets to each others’ products. These austerity measures aimed at reducing public sector waste and boosting efficiency has also resulted in cuts in some social programs. Noting that when I first coined the word “re-section”, it was in response to an insignificant debate on the definition of a recession and how the private sector uses the resulting media frenzy to reduce staff, tighten budgets and refocus its operations.

Rewarding Risk

In the present global economic situation, where vast amounts of monies are chasing very few viable opportunities, country’s traditional export and tourism revenues are drastically down and declining, driving Governments to seek to diversify and find new niche markets. Some experts are promoting think tanks, business incubators and entrepreneurship as a solution to increase foreign revenues and create jobs.

In every aspect of society, risk taking has been rewarded as a natural course of events. Soldiers and other security personnel being awarded medals and promotions, sport and culture personality winning endorsement contracts and others, who perform above the call of duty, are given bonuses in some form or another. These rewards are primarily used to motivate others, hence the lavish presentation ceremonies, to be creative, innovative and analytical.

Choosing Associates

Every business must have a highly, confidential plan containing market intelligence and marketing strategies that gives an organization its competitive advantage. Addressing present market conditions, analyzing the market to spot viable opportunities and planning detail actions to respond to and win market share.

The Business Consultancy and Management Services sector is a multi-discipline, highly competitive field which, due to advances in technology, is no longer restricted by geographical borders and is presently experiencing growth across cultures, religions and many other social boundaries. Led by economists specializing in international marketing, seeking and identifying new and feasible opportunities, to win or increase market share. Followed by financial experts, involved in venture capital, private equity and other forms of mezzanine funding, who are in search of superior returns on investment, and supported by corporate lawyers and accountants, strategies are designed and implemented to penetrate, merge or acquire a market presents.
