Profits, Wages, And Investments

Tweet

There is a group of American that like to rail against profits companies make and the wages these companies pay their top executives. They demonize profit as if they are evil. In doing so they are demonizing themselves. Most people make profits and chances are you will be making a profit some time this week. The only people who do not make profits are failing companies. If you work for a company you continue to work there because the company is making a profit. If you do not work and are living off of government or some charity this is because some one profited enough to either be taxed or had enough to give away. Your work into itself is a profit to you. Depending on how far away you live from your work and how much mpg your vehicle get, it may cost you $2 to $10 dollars a day. So for that investment you may get back around $100 dollars a day. After you put gas into your vehicle that is straight profit. What you do with those profits are up to you. Wages are another hot button topic, but why? A CEO make $53 million and you make $53,000 does not seem fair to you. So you are angry, but instead of being angry why not try to become a CEO. Instantly you realize you are not qualified to be a CEO. For various reason you have not put the investment into your life to become someone who could make $53 million. Once again we fine the elephant in the room, INVESTMENTS. An investment includes everything from the gas in your vehicle, going to college, long hours at the office, or just simply taking a chance. Without sky high profits what would be the incentive to go to go to work, go to college, work long hours, or take a chance. Profits is what drive everyone to do their best in life, without them we would just settle for mediocrity.
