Winners and Losers

I agree with the fact that our system depends on losers. Without the losers we would indeed fail. However what if it was possible for there to not be as many losers in this same system? For there to be fewer losers the “winners” would have to sacrifice some of what they have. The simple answer to this question is no one, no day everyone takes what that have and they don’t give. For someone to become the winner they have to be the greedy one, they take everything they can and give back little to none. It’s like Lawrence says “employees are the losers.” Employers will take every opportunity to pay their employees as little as possible, but just enough to stick around. Every employer knows that if they don’t pay enough they won’t get any help, but if they pay to much they will have too much flocking to them. This is exactly why they’re so many Americans that are paid in the $10 an hour range. If we were to try and fix the problem of there being so many losers we would most likely fail, unless it started from the top. If all of the winners gave the losers a break and let them win then it could give them a shot. It could only take the winners a small amount of their own profits to allow for a number of the losers to become their own winner. All it really takes to be the winner is to in some way have power over others. When Lawrence says “what would happen if all the people making $10 an hour or less quit working for a month”? The reason there would be such chaos is because almost everyone who does something works for that amount of money. Why should you get paid so little to do hard physical labor? It’s because the winners take for granted everything they have, and they know if their employees stop working, they have many more people who would love to work for them.
