Changing Cash To Fruit

An Economic Manifesto: Changing Cash To Fruit One of the biggest problems facing America today is the unfair distribution of wealth between the upper, middle, and lower classes. Millions have to scrape by everyday, just to survive, working at low-income jobs that any high school student could be doing. All the while, only a lucky few get the luxury of sitting lazily on their posteriors, watching as their 50 feet tall stacks of money continue to rise. It is unjust that so many Americans can barely make ends meet just to survive, while a very minuscule minority is lucky enough to be able to throw millions out the window without giving it a second thought. This unfair distribution of wealth is a serious problem, but the fix is so simple that even an elementary student could see it. All Americans have to do is switch their currency from cash money to apples. There are countless reasons why this switch would benefit every single American. Obviously, the greatest change that would come out of this would be the dissolution of economic inequality. It would be like hitting the “reset” button for everybody. No longer will there be only a handful of people with inexhaustible amounts of money; no one will be able to save up large sums of currency. All the millions and billions that the upper classes have tucked away will rot in their vaults. Everyone will be back to square one; everyone will be on the same page. Along with financial equality, there will also be more social equity all around. There will be less discrimination as a whole. Since it will be very hard for anyone to acquire large sums of money, there will be less class distinction, if any at all. Americans will all be part of the same class, a part of the same kind. Everyone will have to work, not have their money do the work for them. Again, everybody will be on the same page. This brings up the next product of the switch; people will start focusing more on the “here and now”. People will not worry about the future as much. Since apples are infamous for their “shorter lifespan than paper currency”, people will be unable to save large sums. To get the most out of their money, people will have to spend it all in the present. Since apples start going bad after a month, it will be highly improbable for anyone to save up thousands, impossible for anyone to save up millions. Lastly, this change from paper currency to apples will help to reinstate the ideas of equal opportunity in the workplace. Chances for promotion in any trade or field will bloom on the spot. The American workforce as a whole will become stronger and more determined. People will strive to give their very best, and then some. Productivity will increase, the “fighting spirit” of the worker will increase, and everyone will want to work harder, not just for themselves, but for America as a whole. These are just four ways that the transition from cash money to apples will benefit very last American. The dissolution of economic inequality, the cessation of discrimination as a whole, the switch from a future driven to a more "here and now" mindset, and a more secure promise of equal opportunity are the biggest changes that will occur, but there are countless more positive outcomes that will take place if this switch is made. The change will start in America, but who knows? As time progresses and other nations see how much of a positive change this switch has caused, maybe the entire Earth’s population will switch their currency to apples. This change will be one of mankind’s greatest feats yet. Everyone will become happier, and life will become more enjoyable.
