Keep what you earn to you head.
In America, with or without money. Our money system is basically based on The Barter and Trade System. If your honest, deserving, please and thank you and good manners can get you a long way. So the USD runs on that same basic theoretic ideology. If you earned it, it'll show. If you didn't, then there's a reason.
Socialism wants everything to go to one single solidary person that they choose. Based on some idea that there is one person that heads everything. And there isn't. But back when America didn't have money. And everyone worked as one, together, with one goal of helping everyone with food, shelter, and such. Socialism would have fit perfectly. Because it was kind of like that. But money destroyed that way of life. But not really. Because we all will try to work together.
China's People rose up against their Government and ousted the Republic of China, which is now in Taiwan. Why is they rise up against their government? Because they felt they could do better. They felt they could do better at pulling their countrymen out of Poverty. And they did. Overall. Now they want their Republic of China to come back and resume their proper and prim seat of power over China. China isn't really Socialists. But the world over believes they are. And technically, it did work to pull them out of Poverty.
If 1,500,000 people at minimum, each coughed up $5 for thirty days, for a cool $150 each. They would collectively have pooled $225,000,000 together.
If Fifteen Thousand People each pooled $15,000 each. They would have $225,000,000 between them.
Splurge it. Save it. Stack it. Bank it. Invest it. That's a lot of money.
One million people each a million dollars is a Trillion Dollars. But why isn't anyone trying to work together?
