People seem to forget that civilization requires a slave class.

It is its nature. Like a bee colony forms a hive, human civilizations form pyramids. The base of the pyramid is the slave class. Always.

What would happen if everyone in the minimum wage category learned a trade? Everyone here is saying, just learn a trade, get a skill, get educated, etc. Well, eventually, the trades would become the new slave class.

What happened when everyone in the middle class decided to send their kids to college? College degrees became worthless.


The only way to get rid of the slave class is to get rid of civilization; which means getting rid of agriculture. We all go back to hunting and gathering. God will provide.


So everyone here can wax philosophy but the nature is what it is. The minimum wage could be $1000 per hour and it still would not be enough to survive because the pyramid will adjust to keep its shape.

In such a system, you have to ask yourself, how evil do I have to become to at least not be in the base of the pyramid? What evil must I accomplish? If you are unwilling to participate then you will remain in the base of the pyramid or crushed by it.

Hopefully Jesus is right; them that are last shall be first. I have my doubts.
