Help! Please help!

Last November when I was in Hong Kong, I joined a one-day Hong Kong island tour along with 40 schoolmates.  Our local tour guide gave comments about present day economic atmosphere in Hong Kong, saying that lower middle income families are suffering due to two facts, inflation and Hong Kong dollar devaluation, especially against Chinese Renminbi since Hong Kong’s resources depends greatly on its neighboring  China.

Last night I watched a Hong Kong TVB reality show video 窮富翁大作戰 田二少變身掃街清潔工. The program is for rich people to have a firsthand experience of being poor.  田二少 had to work and live 3 days as a street cleaner in Hong Kong.

 

The conclusion in both cases is that Hong Kong government ought to do something.

Really? In both cases, people draw the conclusion not knowing the real causes of the problem. It may sound convincing from the mouth of a respectable rich person or an everyday ordinary citizen as they observed the compelling symptoms of the problem.

Watch this video before going further: 

The simple truth is governments don’t have anything. To take from any individual rich or poor without each one’s consent is robbery.  It is stealing. In our so-called democracy, governments are condoned to take from the people by force. Governments enforce their legislated laws with their police and army. Weapons are the governments’ resort for collection of individual properties. That’s why they prefer to disarm their citizens to reduce the resistance to zero. In our democratic societies, property right is only temporary.

To ask government to solve a problem is to ask government to further rob other citizens. Government becomes a recognized legal robber.

Truth is always simple and they need to be defended on the onset.

In the Hong Kong reality show video, a woman who is a realtor blames the free market for the high property prices and rental. I like to mention that ours is not a free market economy. It is a manipulated economy by the government. Free market only existed by struggling in between laws in the background and underground. But that’s another article to follow-Why the poor is getting poorer.
