abundance

Ronald Regan, had the trickle down theory. its simple.sorta like the stimulus package all nations are singing about
see first thing you do is give rich people more money, then they spend it on new stuff, and hand over their old stuff to poorer folks, or them spending money will create better opportunities for the others.
Abundance is a theory, which according to Oprah http://abundancesecrets.com/ and the folks that brought you the secret http://www.thesecret.tv/ we wil spread the wealth. Sorry i don"t buy it.
I am willing to go along with it.i want to see it work, but here are my concerns;
-

1. If its really cheap and plentiful we will squander it (go to a buffet. Nuff said.)

-
2. Usually those that really need the things that are plentiful are prevented from aquiring it

-
3. As long as greed rules the day, we will burn food before we give it away

-
4. the cheap transistors,metals,etc are cheap because we exploit others to maintain high profit margin here.

can we have abundance and spread the wealth.

Maybe we can figure out what the real cost of goods are.Lets look at the wages of everyone on the surply side, not just when it arrives in North america.
its not cheap! the actual machines we use to read,listen and copy all this material,have a cost.
look at all the metals the plastics that are used. include all the landfills the old stuff takes up, all the toxic sludge. Think of all the places these things are quietly shipped off to so we can get the next faster,brighter, higher resolutioned,voice activated thing.

lets think of the time a writer will spend gathering information and putting it out. for what? In the music/ entertainment industry, they have the "pay to play" mentality,entertainers spend more money trying to get paid than they do getting paid,but, the bar gets paid,the beer company gets paid, printer gets paid, the musical instrument companies get paid,
etc etc,, and we get to listen for free? I love the idea of abundance, so we can get on with the real things in the world but, damn!lets not kid ourselves, abundance and scarcity are twins. We know if we aint on one side of the coin we on the other.
one thing for sure, or i think its for sure. At the end of the day with digital technology. Those that own the technology will rule.We still need macs to interface or IBms to get digital cash. we still gonna use cannon digital cameras to Take the family pic or the video. The platform all this runs on is??? a hundred years ago somone said if you hand land you were free. well i think its gone digital now.
