What could be more innocuous than the pizza delivery guy? What could be
more welcoming than the man or woman showing up at your door bringing
sustenance from one of your favorite restaurants you just called? You
didn't even have to go out into the cold night on your own and freeze
your little toes off to get your favorite food. They brought it to you.
All for a small convenience fee and whatever voluntary tip you might
like to give the person who provided this little service. Ah, but don't
be fooled. These people who provide this service are very dangerous.
They must be stopped. You see, these types of people are a perfect
example of how a free market system works. If you begin to learn from
their example, why you just might learn too much about how the elite who
would like to rule the world work, and we just can't have that now, can
we? Besides, you little common folk don't need such convenient
services. Such services should be exclusive to the wealthy elite.
How, exactly, is the little pizza delivery person so dangerous to the
powerful elite? How can someone near the bottom of the economic ladder,
working hard to provide for those who can afford to pay for delivered
food, how can they possibly pose a threat to those elites at the top of
the pyramid who dictate how world is to work? It's a matter of
perception. It's a matter of the poor, underprivileged underdog working
to make an honest living versus the wealthy, privileged control freak
shadow elite who wish to control every aspect of everyone's life. How
does one demonize the pizza delivery person? How does one collect
tribute from them? How does one justify stealing from such polite, hard
working people struggling to make ends meet? Doing so would certainly
help to solidify the perception that the tyranny is growing out of
control beyond all measure. That is the challenge facing the
collectivists who wish to create an authoritarian one world government
from their new world order agenda.
Pizza delivery people, and others who work for tips like waiters,
waitresses, taxi drivers, bell hops, etc., work for cash money. Cash
money is very difficult to track. Those at the top find it difficult to
keep an accurate accounting as to how much these low earners make and
they therefore can't accurately determine how much tribute they should
pay. Not only that, but if they start cracking down on these people they
suddenly look like the real assholes they are for picking on such
little guys. That is just one reason the ruling elite would love to
develop some kind of cashless society. They want to get rid of the last
vestiges of the ages old barter system. They don't want to do this for
the betterment of mankind, for more convenience, or more fairness, or
some other ulterior motive, they want to do this for control. They want
to do it so they can have access to every business transaction you have
with others. They want to put their noses into every aspect of
everyone's economic life. They'll be able to do this because it will be
their system we'll all be using.
Pizza delivers, and others, are more like sub contractors than
employees. The restaurant provides the food, the delivery person
provides the vehicle and the service. They are responsible for keeping
track of all their earnings. They are responsible for reporting their
income and paying any taxes they might owe. They are responsible for
putting away money for their retirement should they earn enough to do
so. They are responsible for providing their own health insurance if
they feel they need to do so. If they don't have health insurance, they
are responsible for paying any health care advisor they might wish to
employ for their benefit. They are responsible for purchasing any health
care products they might feel is necessary for any condition they might
have. They are responsible for deciding where their money would be best
spent, whether it be on rent, food, clothes, gasoline, some other
necessity, or some luxury. In other words, these people make their own
decisions on what to do with all the money they earn from that job, and
the ruling elite can't stand the thought that someone out there is
independent of them.
The rest of the world can maybe learn a little something about economics
from pizza delivery people. First, all economics boil down to two
individuals wanting to exchange some form of product. Either there's a
connection made, or there's not. For those of you familiar with digital
electronics, it's binary in nature. When there's only two people
involved it's pretty straight forward. It's on or off. It's ones or
zeroes. Either the two people have something the other wants for the
exchange, or they don't. It's when there's other conditions thrown into
the equation, when there's other people that become involved that things
get a little more complicated. When this happens economic circuitry
comparable to "and" and "or" gates are created.
Second, all economics should be voluntary in nature. You probably
wouldn't pay a pizza guy if he showed up at your house with a pizza you
didn't order. You also probably wouldn't buy if the pizza guy charged an
outrageous amount for his service. You probably wouldn't like it very
much if the pizza guy turned up at your house and threatened you if you
didn't buy their food. In the free market, there's competitors that can
be called and any business trying to resort to such methods would be
quickly put out of business. If such a business was to gain enough
influence in government, however, things could quickly change. Laws and
regulations could be passed designed to exclude all but the largest and
wealthiest from engaging in such a delivery service. Such a restriction
on competition could easily cause quality to fall and prices to rise. In
a worse case scenario, laws could be passed requiring you to purchase
such services whether you want to or not. Money could be collected from
you by coercive methods or force that would go to these services whether
you use them or not.
It's strange how the practices mentioned above are considered abhorrent
and criminal in a freer market, but if the government passes laws
allowing for their agents and contractors to participate in such
practices they become acceptable. Perhaps that has a lot to do with the
creeping gradualism the political elite has engaged in, slowly building
upon more innocuous laws until the large tomes we've seen passed
recently can be pushed onto the common folk without too much outrage.
Notice they never repeal laws, unless they were working to stifle the
efforts of the wealthy elite. Also, growing up in a world where such
practices exist and being taught in school that such practices are
acceptable normalizes them and makes it hard to imagine different
methods and innovate.
Perhaps with the current state of unemployment being as it is, many
other workers will soon start to become sub contractors, so to speak.
Perhaps the unemployed will decide to take jobs on a cash basis that
don't require their employer to take taxes directly from their paycheck.
Perhaps more and more individuals will start to keep more of their
earnings and not report it to the taxman. Perhaps they will begin to
decide for themselves what products and services they wish to pay for
rather than having the government do this for them. Perhaps more and
more people will move off the radar just to make ends meet. This is
something I'm certain the political and wealthy elite fear. It is also,
however, one way to getting back to a more productive and prosperous
society for everyone. As the system short circuits and burns itself up,
those who wish to survive will have to figure out how to get along
without help from the system.
So, when the pizza delivery person shows up at your doorstep, don't
forget to tip him or her well. Whether they know it or not, they are out
there fighting for you against the new world order. They are out there
showing the world that business can still be done on an individual to
individual basis. They are showing us all that big, centralized
government does not have to intercede on every level in order for us all
to get along. They are showing us that local economies are most
important and we should all worry about supporting local business so
that we can all thrive. I just hope that more people come to understand
the importance of those concepts before we are forced to do all business
the way the one size fits all, centralized federal government, owned by
the wealthy elite, wants it done.
