Get Your Money's Worth

They've made you think that when you spend your money on this shirt or that jacket or that, handbag, whatever product it is, that whenever you've spent your money on that, then you've got your money's worth. But you haven't. You haven't at all because, the profit margin for that product, you don't even know what the profit margin is. That product may have been made for pennies in a sweatshop, and the company that's selling you that product is making a huge profit margin. So the actual, value of the item that you're buying, is considerably less than what you're paying for.

So what are you what else are you getting for your money? That's the question. And the better question is, what are they using your money for? What are they, getting out of that excess profit? Companies, corporations, multinational corporations are political entities, and they have political power, and they have considerable power over the daily lives of the common people.

They have considerable power over the economy and the decisions made, in the economy and how to manage the economy and they have considerable power over even legislation. They have paid lobbyists, sometimes multiple paid lobbyists and PR firms and so on to get what they want, in Washington DC or in London or in Paris or in Berlin or wherever else. Let's just say for example, you buy something from them and the actual, cost of production for that product, the actual cost of production for the item that you're buying is maybe, a third of the actual price. What are you getting by giving them that money? Because you need to be getting something more than the handbag.

You need to be getting something more than whatever the product is that you're buying because you're paying considerably more for it than it's worth. They're getting your money and they're using it for something. What they're using it for is power. They're using it to increase their own power, their own economic power, and their own political power, but they're not using that power for your benefit.
