“If you are self-motivated, wow, this world is tailored for you. The boundaries are all gone. But if you're not self-motivated, this world will be a challenge because the walls, ceilings and floors that protected people are also disappearing. That is what I mean when I say "it is a 401(k) world." Government will do less for you. Companies will do less for you. Unions can do less for you. There will be fewer limits, but also fewer guarantees. Your specific contribution will define your specific benefits much more. Just showing up will not cut it.” PeopleIfsWorldMeanSelfGovernmentCan DoChallengesCompanyGoneCuttingThis WorldWallLimitsBenefitsUnionsDisappearBoundariesContributionGuaranteesMotivatedWowFewerProtectedCeilingsShowing UpWorld GovernmentTailoredSelf Motivated Author:Thomas Friedman

“What's happening is there's transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the wealthy. This comes about because of the monetary system that we have. When you inflate a currency or destroy a currency, the middle class gets wiped out, so the people who get to use the money first, which is created by the Federal Reserve System, benefit, so the money gravitates to the banks and to Wall Street. That's why you have more billionaires than ever before.” PeopleFirstsUseWealthPoorMoneyClassEconomyStreetsMiddleWallBenefitsHappeningsEconomicsMiddle ClassWealthyCurrencyReservesBillionaireTransfersMonetaryFederal ReserveMonetary System Author:Ron Paul
