Karl Marx

Karl Marx
created the communist manifesto
because looking at the capitalist world
the wealthy abused the poor

The wealthy enjoyed abundant lifestyles
well everybody else became slaves money
the wealthy getting wealthier 
well wages were eroded 

Marx was a trained economist
women died in the cotton factories of Manchester
by the time they reached twenty eight years old
killed by the cotton fibres, they had to breath
 
But he forgot to take into account, an important detail
for society to thrive, you need to reward effort
The farmer creates a productive farm
Because the farm rewards his effort

back in the sixties
Three percent of Americas work force
created enough food, to not only feed America
but also return, profit from exports

Communism doesn't give immediate reward
back in the sixties twenty five percent of the Russian workforce
could not provide enough food to feed the country
Stalin invested in factories well people died from famine

Advancing technology could cripple our economy
American Governments by the people for the people 
yet even today people in Africa die of starvation 
they say in the future thirty eight percent of the workforce

will be replaced by robots 
machines and computers all ready replace
thousands of jobs done by employees
In the future, only very gifted people

will have the ability, to stay employed
what happens to all the disabled
what happens to normal people
what happens to the worlds consumer market  

The wages of your employees become the worlds customers
people, without the ability to work, become unemployed
becoming a burden on reducing taxable income  
for the system to work effectively it requires balance

If we teach people to become investors
we create more jobs for the people of the world
perhaps in their future, they could live off the profits from company shares
the Lego company already has robots and technology replacing employees

But for the Lego company to survive, it needs customers
employers want to reduce company costs 
that is good business sense, reduce costs and sell low priced products,
there by gaining customers

so our future, as with our past 
has seen employees replaced by machines
but if we want economies to thrive
we need to get, money to the people to create customers

Teaching people to become investors 
could eventually see, wage's replaced, by profits form shares 
if as a world, we could all become the share holders,  
replacing wages from employment, with profits from shares
