Narrow the Gap

Narrow the gap between rich and poor.

This period of recovering from the economic slump may not be a period of increasing wages, but decreasing them from the top down. The unions should understand that, and rather become watchdogs for greedy high earning opportunists than fighting for more wages for people who already have jobs.

The fact is that a working man will never have enough money, no matter how much he earns. People will spend themselves into their comfortable state of need.

We need to decrease wages right now so that there is money to create jobs for those who have no money to support their families.



Get South Africa working should be the new purpose of the unions, today --- to have 0% unemployment for all citizens who had their names on the last voters roll.

We should aim at a 100% employment figure for all voters because they were the people who cared who would run this country and they are the people who deserve jobs first.

Our new slogan should be 100% employment for all voters by 2015.

We can only do it if we make decisions that will strengthen our economy and suppress our financial greed.

Post Mugabwe rule - a possible outcome

A diagrammatic forecast of a possible wealth distribution in Zimbabwe for a post Mugabe rule.
see the explanation of he diagram below

Everything depends whether the economy of the country will be a main criteria in a non-racial shared society.

The situation as it was pre-Mugabe dictatorship. Note the cener indicates the governmental system.

The lighter colors indicate the wealth distribution.

The arrows indicate the circulation of wealth within the country.

1. Pre Mugabe rule - wealth in the hands of few, but not much reaching the general population

2. Mugabe Rule - the wealth in the hands of the government and a few who found favor with Mugabe and others who managed to hold onto some of their wealth, while virtually nothing reaches the people. Much of the wealth leaked out of the country, while many of those who are able to provide poverty alleviation emigrated.

3. Post Mugabe Rule (possibility) Wealth returning to the country, but this time-shared among the people. Much help from outside.

4. Prosperity for all. A good circulation of wealth and education. An example of "Unity is strength"

Floor Crossing a crime

Crossing the floor to another political party should be a criminal offense.

It should be a sign that a minister is not to be trusted. He/she makes promises to the voters that he/she does not keep.

Such a person could be classed as a liar.

Do not vote for someone who cannot stand behind his (or her) words.

Remember such people. Store their names to memory. Never support them. They may let you down again.

Governments should be run by honesty, integrity and according to the wishes and needs of the people.

LET THE EDUCATED AND THE ELDERS RUN THE COUNTRY

Babies being born into some Indian tribes in the Amazon are buried alive. This is a practice that is being covered up by the Brazilian authorities out of respect for tribal culture according to newspaper reports. The tradition is based on beliefs that babies with any sort of physical defect have no souls, and that others such as twins and triplets are also "cursed".
In Africa it has been reported in the past that the belief that raping babies or virgins will cure or prevent aids.



If Africans with a similar naive tribal belief cannot yet understand the technology of modern medicine; how can they be expected to understand the running of a modern government with all its complexities? With one-person one-vote these people can be bulldozed into voting for any unscrupulous politician. To harvest political votes in Africa must be one of the main methods of pre-election political farming. Fear of course is another. Let the best political farmer or bully wins. During the first open election the people expected to receive houses immediately, as was promised. Many of them are still waiting and some of them literally died waiting for houses nearly seventeen years later...

The solution may be to give voting rights to people with a predetermined educational standard or of mature age. This will put the decision making process of he country (or continent) back into the hands of the educated and the elders. This can only be done if there is free and available schooling for all children. It will also encourage people to reach the predetermined educational standard in order to have a say in the running of the Country
