Did you have a great 4th of July weekend? Fireworks? BBQ? Nice cold beer? Living in LA, I saw a marked change in activity. Everyone seemed to take off on Friday morning, and even today (Monday) a lot of people are gone. Despite the constant bad economic news, there seems to be no shortage of money to get away for vacation.

And, I saw a similar phenomenon online. Many blogs stopped posting. One site that we use to track blogs, Tip’d, had virtually no usage whatsoever! This is a site that attracts 440,000 visitors a month. And on the Independence Day weekend almost nobody visited. Wow.

Where did they go?

The whole wage-slave mantra is “time is money.”

Minimum wage is based on the hour. Overtime is (sometimes) paid for extra hours worked. Salaries are tabulated annually. Bills are paid monthly.

The connection between time and money is intricately woven in our society.

The system works well, at least for some elements of the wage-slave strata. Bosses, for example, use the time-is-money principle to dangle a carrot in front of their workers to ever-higher levels of productivity and, at times. ever-lower levels of dignity. It’s also a good way to divide workers. The time of some workers is more important than the time of other workers.

Unfortunately the whole system is a sham.

We’ll explore one more mistake people make to forge the chains of wage slaves–people who give their time for money.

Wage slaves don’t believe their ideas matter.  During the day they’ll have dozens of ideas that can range from time-saving methods to money-making concepts. But they rarely act on them.

They’re just ideas they think. And ideas are a dime a dozen. Plus, these ideas are the boss’s property. He or she deserves them.

Each day, they use their brains to solve problems and seize opportunities to make someone else money. But they never try to turn that knowledge into money.

After all, anyone can do what they do.

People who have freed themselves from wage slavery know this is not true.

We’ve been taught to believe in hard work.

It’s in our DNA. We call it the work ethic and it drives our corporations and organizations.

Unfortunately, the work ethic can be a sham. It’s been usurped by people who don’t have your best interest at heart. It becomes a tool to control you.

Don’t get me wrong, working hard is critical to success, but you have to ask “whose success?” When your work ethic is driving you to work for something or someone you don’t believe in just for a paycheck, then it’s a sham.

And it’s a coldly calculated sham. You have been indoctrinated into wage slavery since school. Teachers drilled it. Society reinforces it. And when you enter the work force, the companies take advantage of it by promoting the thought that the only reward for hard work is harder work.

You might ask, “Isn’t the reward your pay?” First, no organization will pay you more than what your worth.  Second, most companies are single-winner systems where the person on top gets a majority of the rewards with less of the work.

Do I sound like Karl Marx, or something? I hope not, because I am a free market type of guy. After all, the government, as an employer is no better and is, in fact, worse than the soulless corporation that socialists love to hate.

There’s a few reasons why the free market gives us wage slavery… and can deliver us from a career of servitude to pompous apparatchiks.
