GET A JOB!
This is never said to someone that has inherited
money, or stay at home mom, or someone who lives off an investment portfolio or
rental property. It’s not about work.
WHY ISN’T EVERYONE REQUIRED TO WORK? In many countries people are required to
serve in the military or do community work.
Our society would only benefit from requiring everyone to serve in
the military, peace corps, and or local community services.
And beyond the one- or two-year requirement for some
sort of civil service, there should always be community jobs available.
Not just picking up trash but working in various government offices and
learning how they work, and in that way keeping our communities strong.
There should be plenty of jobs to suit every person’s
abilities, as well as develop new and useful skills! And every neighborhood
should have a plan to respond to any emergency situations- like natural
disasters, pandemics, or widespread grid disruptions. By paying people in
our community to maintain our community we all prosper.
The City of St. Louis could start this process
by making CITY JOBS FOR CITY RESIDENTS ONLY. (And people with
vacant properties that do not reside in the city should not be allowed to rack
up three years of unpaid property taxes. St. Louis City generates 4 billion in
property taxes but collects less than a third of that. We cannot afford these
out of town absentee landlords any longer!)
