The Prosperity of a Nation is in Everyone having Enough

    The prosperity of a nation is not in everyone having much, but in each having enough. It is not in how many rich you have, but in how few poor you have.
    But, I will allow for some poor people, given the right conditions. There are other things that make for prosperity, and, frankly, a nation can prosper even though there be poor amongst it, for prosperity must be measure not just in financial terms, but also in terms of the emotional toll. If the poor are content, if they are happy, then their poverty is not so oppressive. There is more to a job than a paycheck. Sometimes, the good treatment a company gives an employee is as important as the paycheck. A company can, to a degree, atone for its inability to pay a high wage by having initiatives bringing good work conditions.
