Prosperity, One Person At A Time

JUST IN TIME for the holidays, I have a new hobby, one which I recommend to all good Americans, and to all good people everywhere. It all started at Wal Mart. I was looking for a bottle of "Cholestoff", but couldn't find it. An associate was helping me look, but, after about ten minutes among thousands of bottles of various vitamins on the shelf, I gave up, thanked her for trying, and went on my merry way to the cash register, disappointed. Just as I was about to pay for my less than complete basket full of items, aforementioned associate came running up, and handed me the nutritional supplement I so desired. She was out of breath, but hadn't given up. My spirit soaring, I drove home, clicked on my cell phone, and called the store, asking to speak with a manager. I told him the lady's name, and insisted that she be given a raise, because she had ensured my patronage for life. Now I was on a roll. Next day I got a great sandwich from my local "Subway" from a smiling lady, went home, made my call. Now I have decided to make it a habit. Whenever I receive good service from a low wage worker - BOOM! - out goes the "give her a raise" phone call. I've done it at "Sonic", "McDonald's", all manner of corporate entities. One person at a time. Worker by hard worker, we can change the world, we can transfer wealth from the top of the pyramid to the bottom, thus creating a new market of the minimum waged, a bottom of the pyramid explosion of purchasing power, rapid fire trickle down economics, and soon, or at least at long length later, the bottom of the pyramid rises up, joins in the economy of disposable income spenders, and the economy takes off like a rocket. More people capable of investing in the market, bigger market, stronger economy. seven billion prosperous people! From my comfortable middle class home to yours; HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
