Life isn’t fair.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed. Ones path to success varies person to person. Someone just told me that in order to be in the 1%, you have to be willing to do what they do.

I guess #OneToadPhotography will never be in the 1%.

Why?

Simple. People’s lives are worth more to me than money. To be in the 1%, you have to have complete disregard for others. The only thing that matters is success.

Now, that isn’t always true, but for the most part… It is.

Do people really need that much money? No, they do not.

The problem America is that the “trickle down economic policies” do not work. Why?

The problem, America, is that “trickle-down economic policies” do not work. Why? Because wealth doesn’t trickle—it pools. When you give tax breaks to the top 1%, they don’t reinvest in workers; they reinvest in themselves. They buy back stocks, stash profits offshore, and inflate their own wealth. Meanwhile, wages for the average person stagnate, and the cost of living skyrockets. The gap widens, and the middle class shrinks.

And tariffs? They sound good on paper—“protect American jobs”—but in reality, they raise prices for consumers and businesses. Companies pass those costs down, and who pays? You do. The working class. Tariffs don’t magically create factories; they create inflation. They make everyday goods more expensive while doing little to stop outsourcing.

Look around right now: major corporations are laying off thousands of workers—tech giants, retail chains, even manufacturers—while reporting record profits. Why? Because shareholder value matters more than human value. Trickle-down

America needs a revolution.

Politicians never used to be paid and now they’re living in the tax payers.

Why is it acceptable that they make 3-10x the average wage, get free health care, and a bunch of other privileges like the “Three martini lunch”?

Do you get reimbursed for three martinis over lunch? No?… Hmmmm…

It’s time Americans stood up, and took back America from the super greedy 1%.
