Status Quo Tyranny Widens Gap Between Wealthy And Poor-By Harsha Sankar

Dear Citizen, August 1995


Tyranny of the status quo is causing the gap between rich and poor to widen at a rapid pace. The nation was not built by a few percent of the population. It rather was built on the backs on the vast majority of its citizenry who committed hard, productive work and took risks to cater to the legitimate needs of the public. Yet the incentive for people to practice free enterprise is on the verge of disintegration into non-existence. Government has created and preserved the status quo (elitism without merit) in several ways. One way has been through higher education.

While other developed nations and developing nations are training its residents to be scientists,technicians,tradespeople and engineers,this nation is training its people to either be non-productive or marginally productive. While other nations are training its people to make its pie grow bigger and thus serve its citizenry better, America is continuing to provide incentive for people to divide its pie into small pieces, therefore providing tyranny into the lives of the working,risk-taking, productive people. The United States size of government is now bigger than China’s, the last major communist nation, as percentage of gross national budget. This nation now has 1.2 million attorneys,a staggering increase considering it has only has 350,000 lawyers in 1970. The insurance industry, whose principles are based on socialism, is now the largest nationally.

The United states has trained too many marginalists(Accountants,financial advisors, and tax accountants)who do very little to contribute to its creation of wealth. Government interference has enforced the status quo and has protected the incumbency (At the expense of the American worker,consumer and business person) by unnecessarily increasing educational and licensing requirements to practice a profession, trade, and business. Because these requirements are irrelevant in the actual practice of profession, trade and business, it prevents many qualified people from engaging in the field of their choice due to time and financial constraints. Lack of competition, due to force implemented by government, hurts the consumer by inflating the purchase price of goods and services as well as lowering its quality. The health care industry is a prime example of this.

The only real solution is to first ban attorneys and lobbyists from office. The medical, insurance, lawyer and other special interest lobbyists have drowned out the voice of the average productive American. It is time to end same-hands governance!
