It's NOT Facebook ... It's NOT Google ... It's NOT Goldman Sachs ... It's NOT Serco.
The Best Company to Work For in 2011 is POORandyx Corp. It's a code named corporation. It stands for "Point Of Origin XY-DNAr proC." (XY=XX) so (X=Y) or (0,0) --> |0|
COMPANY FOUNDATION: "The Hands of Governments DO NOT Change the World, the Hands of Billions DO" - Randy Colbert
The Company's Mantra --> "Prosperity is the result of healthy circulation of currency where the vast majority have robust purchasing power. When wealth fails to circulate but is dammed up by a concentration at the top, the economy falls and results in depression or severe recession. When the rich accumulate an overwhelming portion of the wealth, their house of cards comes tumbling down because there remains few to buy the goods sold by the wealthy to sustain the lifestyle." - John Maynard Keynes
The Company's Warning --> "By a continuing process of inflation, governments can and do confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." – John Maynard Keynes
Since time immemorial, the bulk of ALL knowledge has passed from one generation to the next in the form of stories. It is the only sure way knowledge transcends time.
That being said, I will start with a story we all should know. It's called "The Three Little Pigs." Although we all learned this story as children, the true genius of this story is how it was really meant for adults but 99% of adults did not see past the simple imagery of the children's story.
The story is time scalable which means it can be understood in the time of pioneers or it can be understood in the present day. The trick is reading between the lines with your imagination.
I will not retell the story again here. There are only three things one needs to know:
1) straw bales are cheap
2) wood is more expensive
3) bricks are even more expensive
bonus) resources recovered from someones junk or the dump are priceless
A 20,000 square foot house built out of straw bales costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat such a big space, weather would be a problem and it would be very susceptible to fire.
A 10,000 square foot house built of wood costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat with no insulation, weather might cause some problems although it would not be as susceptible to fire as straw bales.
A 5,000 square foot house built of brick costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat with no insulation as well, weather should not cause problems and it would not be susceptible to fire as straw bales.
Now a 1,000 square foot house built of brick, insulated with straw bales, and lined with wood would cost $50,000.00 It would be cheap and easy to heat, stand up to the weather and not be as susceptible to fire. It would be comfortable.
The moral of the story; be creative with the resources around you and live within your means. You'll be a lot more comfortable in life.
Now to explain: "The Best Company to Work For in 2011"
In June 1967 a young man started a company out of the cardboard box he lived in on a vacant lot he inherited from an Uncle who died of Aids the previous winter. The young man's name was Randy and he had just that spring, at the age of 15, been thrown out of his parents house for being an atheist. His parents were extremely religious Baptists and about as compassionate to "outsiders" as German Nazi's were to Jews'.
Growing up on a farm enabled Randy to develop a few skills that came in handy when he got the boot. He could do basic plumbing, electric, carpentry and a bit of mechanical repair but his cooking skills lacked something to be desired.
He had a friend that managed the local dump and that dump was a gold mine for one to find odds and ends that could be put to good use cheap.
Randy found enough resources in that dump to build himself a shack. It more or less resembled a glorified cardboard box on his inherited lot but it was very comfortable to live in. He built a fully functioning washroom/shower and kitchen and a little space for his bed and desk. The curb side appeal was limited but it suited Randy and his ambitions quite well.
When word got out in town and the community what happened to Randy, people started stopping by his shack offering him small amounts of cash to help him out. He firmly stated he did not need their money for himself but if they were honestly interested in helping him they could "donate" (not tax deductible) their money to his NEW small business corporation "POORandyx". Over time people stopped coming by and the "donations" eventually ceased. Although the money coming from strangers into the company stopped soon employees of the company started building its foundation of wealth.
Randy was also somewhat of a computer aficionado. He spent endless hours learning and practicing using every kind of software he could get his hands on. spreadsheets, word processing, CADD design etc. He took the Canadian Securities Course and began investing every dollar he could get his hands on in the market. Over the years of pumping as much money as he could into his investment business corporation, he grew it exponentially to where it was producing so much interest income the tax man was getting 1/2 of it. Being the creative and cheap person that he was Randy decided to help some of the less fortunate than himself and help himself at the same time. This all came together when the internet came on the scene in 1992.
Randy put up job banners (here and there) across the internet. He recruited in flop houses, homeless shelters and soup kitchens across the country and around the world.
The concept was simple math. If a company earns $2,000,000 in interest / year and that income is taxed at the rate of 50% then $1,000,000 goes to government (which they more often than not waste) and benefits very few. But if 1,000 poor people agree to give back 50% of what they earn from the company if they are "hired" as money managers of the companies money for $2,000 each, everyone benefits. The company still gets its $1,000,000 to fund growth and 1,000 people get to earn and keep the other $1,000,000 (or $1,000 each) instead of the government getting it in taxes and wasting it on government bureaucracy. The company now has a workforce of 1,000 people to do something productive to burn up the $1,000 each person gets of the otherwise government's tax money. 1,000 poor people paid $1,000 to do something has to be better for the community and society than the government getting the $1,000,000 and doing little or nothing in return for the community.
Since we all get up, eat, live, piss/crap, and sleep 365 days a year, let us use this as our guide. Each employee will work 1 hour per day for the Company 365 days a year. They each get $10 per hour as pay or $300 or $310 dollars pay per month (Feb $280).
Over the years Randy found a lot of people are NOT very good at GIVING their shit away ... be it; money, unused junk, unused furniture, unused clothing, unused food stuffs. People in general hoard their crap until they die. Then more often than not the relatives get involved and haul most of it to the dump or hoard it themselves until their death.
To work for POORandyx one must learn to give back much more than one can imagine giving and at first it is not easy. $10 earned --> $6 donated (CPP/EI/POORandyx) Where does the money donated to POORandyx go? It is pooled, pooled and pooled again and then used to buy gold bullion which is used as collateral to borrow large sums of money cheaply anywhere in the world to buy out companies all over the world that are making boat loads of money. The income generated by each persons donations is attributed back to each persons money manager earnings. POORandyx does NOT skim off 1.5% to 3% "management fees" as mutual funds ALL do. POORandyx's objective is to earn $1 of income per year per employee. With a target of 6,000,000,000 employees in mind, POORandyx should do fine.
The 1 hour they work per day is their choice. The remaining hours of the day will be UNPAID training. All training hours are optional but encouraged in the beginning year.
The Company hires poor people and over time helps train and turn them into the wealthy.
The Company started off sorta like an "Internet Cafe" but the customers are the employees. Each employee rents a computer for the hour they work per day. All training hours spent on the computer are free*. Each employee rents space in the company's building for the hour they work per day. All training space is rent free*. Priority for space is given to working employees over training employees.
Free* --> nothing in life is free, someone is ALWAYS paying for it in the end
As employees gained knowledge into how to play the game to their advantage, they train to open new company "Internet Cafe" buildings around the world. Soon being an accomplished worker at POORandyx Corp brings additional work hours from other companies around the world. POORandyx Corp gets their employees foot in the door of other opportunities.

Building the Wealth of Nations - 2009
Written for those that think the wealthiest 1 percent should be taxed to the hilt!
I am a "one percenter". That means I live on less than 1 percent of my yearly income. I have been a "one percenter" all my life. I made $12 million (USA dollars) net income in 2009. I re-invested 99 percent of what I didn't spend. I pay personal tax on the 1 percent I live on but I pay zero tax on the remaining 99 percent that is re-invested and there is a reason why.
I started out in life at zero net worth. My net worth has grown exponentially since then.
Here is the trick I used: Many many years ago I learned the more you make the more you get taxed. A year or two of getting taxed at 46.222 percent woke me up. I hated paying tax on money I was trying to put to work to make more money so I thought about it awhile and came up with a plan.
I started a company (ABC) in 1967 and hired the poorest people I could find. I had them sign secrecy and confidentiality agreements and then trained them in basic finance. The tax code entitles everyone to earn a certain amount of income tax free. The next dollar earned beyond that is subject to income tax at some rate.
I agreed to pay my employees their full tax free earned income amount if they agreed to claim the income on their tax return and also agreed to re-invest 99 percent of the total back into the company. They were allowed to keep 1 percent of the money to live on.
The first years produced next to nothing for them to live on as their 1 percent share amounted to very little but the 99 percent that was re-invested in the company was put to work immediately. Employees were encouraged to work at anything they could find (ie waitress, farmhand, etc) to make money but try to make it under the table because every single dollar earned above the table would now be taxed. It was their choice how they chose to earn what they needed to live on in the early years.
After about 10 years of investing and re-investing each employees tax free income allotment each year in the company, the 1 percent share was soon big enough that each employee could notice a difference.
Employees were also slowly trained in the art of frugality. The yearly carrying costs of a McMansion are 10,000 times higher than living in a glorified cardboard box like the one Warren Buffet lives in. Live within your means ... far within your means.
I started out with 1 employee, then there were 2, then there were 4, then there were 8 ... etc. We now have 1,000 employees. $12,000,000 net income / 1,000 employees = $12,000 per employee
As employees reached and surpassed 10 yrs with the company, the percentage they could keep of the income they claimed each year increased by 1 percent per year. ie. at 20 years, each employee could keep 11 percent of the income claimed and it got better as more years passed
Employees of the company were also trained to USE the knowledge the company taught them to help themselves throughout their lives.
……………………
The above story is based on "trickle up economics" verses "trickle down economics" that failed.
It is also based on "the cookie test" economic theorem. A group of 5 yr old's were each put in a room and given 2 choices. They could have 1 cookie immediately or wait until the instructor came back and get 2 cookies.
The children that held out for 2 cookies did far better in careers and financially in life than the other children.
Do you understand why?

www.POORandy.com (POORandy - Point Of Origin Randy) I live in a cardboard box
www.POORandy.com (POORandy - Point Of Origin Randy)
As I was walking down the street one day I noticed a man living in a cardboard box. It looked like the man had drawn a Sudoku puzzle on the side of his cardboard box home. I recognized the code hidden in the puzzle instantly. I stopped to talk to the man. Within minutes of talking to the man I knew he was far to articulate and intelligent to be living in a cardboard box due to lack of resources. I asked if I could help him with anything. He said, I have a big enough house, I have more than enough food and clothing, and I have a computer with access to the internet. What I don't have is enough helpful hands to change the world. I said, is there something my hands could do to help? He said, if I asked you to drive to Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. for something but I only gave you a road map of Canada, could you find your way there on your own? I said, yes.
He reached into his cardboard box home and retrieved a small cardboard box. As he handed the small box to me, I suddenly realized it was surprisingly heavy for its size. I opened the box and a gold sphere was inside. He said, the sphere is pure gold and weighs exactly 1 kg (kilogram). Please don't lose, sell or steal the box or the sphere, it is the Point Of Origin and foundation from which wealth is built.
You are aware that 1% of the world's population own 95% of the wealth of the world! The world's accumulated wealth can never exceed 100%. Any one persons % of the total is calculated the same way; their wealth divided by the total accumulated wealth of the world. The only way to change your current position on the "poor" to "wealthy" spectrum is to DO IT YOURSELF. Investing 99% of your yearly income (using your own common sense) will in only a few years generate more than you need to live on (and then some) for the rest of your lifetime.
Living on 1% of your yearly income is HARD at the poor end of the spectrum eg. (52 weeks x 5 days/week x 8 hours/day x minimum wage ($9.00/hr)) = $18,720.00 x 1% = $187.20 / year
but $1,000,000,000.00 ($1 billion) x 1% = $10,000,000.00 ($10 million) / year is EASY to live on.
Living on 1% of your yearly income is likely unworkable but at the other end of that spectrum are those that live paycheck to paycheck. They spend 100% of their yearly income. Those people make up 99% of the population on earth. It's time to WAKE UP!
"Poor" people don't GIVE their money away easily and neither do "wealthy" people.
If you want to own some of the world's wealth, you need to buy it from those that own it. Derivatives were false wealth.

1percenters, 1%ers, one percenters are you ONE of them?
Fact: 1 percent of the population owns 95% of the wealth of the world
Why? Because living on 1% of what you earn every year is HARD if you earn "only" (52 weeks x 5 days/week x 8 hours/day x minimum wage ($9.00/hr)) = $18,720.00 x 1% = $187.20 but living on 1% x $1,000,000,000.00 (1 billion) = $10,000,000.00/year is EASY.
The worlds wealth is limited to 100% (no more and no less) at any given time. Who owns what percentage at any given time is determined by how much wealth each of the population owns divided by the accumulated total.
If one saved(invested) 99% of what they earned every year and lived on 1% like the "1percenters" then they would eventually become one of the 1% that own 95% of the world's wealth also.
The "poor" don't give away their AMOUNT of wealth easily and neither do the "wealthy"!
So the only way to move from the "poor" end of the spectrum to the "wealthy" end of the spectrum is to DO IT YOURSELF. Are you a 1%er or a 2%er or a 3%er ... etc. Do you even know from n = 1 to 100 which n%er you are? This year?, Last year?, the year before that?
No one starts off as a 1%er. They earn their way there.
Those that live paycheck to paycheck are 93%ers and the 7% missing is collected (compulsorily, obligatorily, mandatorily or in a manner that cannot be evaded) by the government (think CPP: 3.5% employee + 3.5% employer). Why? Because "paycheck to paycheck"ers are like drug addicts; No amount of money PUT in their hands would ever be enough. I think these type of fools are running the country! We need more and more TAXES, they say, to keep the government going! They do need tax dollars every year to fund the government but their percentage of GNP (Gross National Product) should NOT rise it should fall. As a country's collective wealth rises the government's tax dollar needs should decline as a percent of GNP or at the very least stay the same.
I live in a "cardboard box" (metaphor). Zero rent, zero property taxes, zero hydro, zero telephone, zero for internet. I live on less than 1% of my yearly income. I live within $15,000.00 so I invest the other 99% or $1,485,000.00 (minus taxes) buying up the world's wealth every year.
I started as a 60%er the moment I got my FIRST job at 14 years old. I was down to a 1%er in 10 years. Thank "God:dog" because I was in a truck accident when I was 24 years old that left me paralyzed from the chest down(a quadriplegic).
If I want something, I buy it, the problem is I want very little. When you change the way you think and use money, your priorities in life change as well.
A famous quote that has resonated within me all my life is: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you've helped feed him for a lifetime."
Why? Because living on 1% of what you earn every year is HARD if you earn "only" (52 weeks x 5 days/week x 8 hours/day x minimum wage ($9.00/hr)) = $18,720.00 x 1% = $187.20 but living on 1% x $1,000,000,000.00 (1 billion) = $10,000,000.00/year is EASY.
The worlds wealth is limited to 100% (no more and no less) at any given time. Who owns what percentage at any given time is determined by how much wealth each of the population owns divided by the accumulated total.
If one saved(invested) 99% of what they earned every year and lived on 1% like the "1percenters" then they would eventually become one of the 1% that own 95% of the world's wealth also.
The "poor" don't give away their AMOUNT of wealth easily and neither do the "wealthy"!
So the only way to move from the "poor" end of the spectrum to the "wealthy" end of the spectrum is to DO IT YOURSELF. Are you a 1%er or a 2%er or a 3%er ... etc. Do you even know from n = 1 to 100 which n%er you are? This year?, Last year?, the year before that?
No one starts off as a 1%er. They earn their way there.
Those that live paycheck to paycheck are 93%ers and the 7% missing is collected (compulsorily, obligatorily, mandatorily or in a manner that cannot be evaded) by the government (think CPP: 3.5% employee + 3.5% employer). Why? Because "paycheck to paycheck"ers are like drug addicts; No amount of money PUT in their hands would ever be enough. I think these type of fools are running the country! We need more and more TAXES, they say, to keep the government going! They do need tax dollars every year to fund the government but their percentage of GNP (Gross National Product) should NOT rise it should fall. As a country's collective wealth rises the government's tax dollar needs should decline as a percent of GNP or at the very least stay the same.
I live in a "cardboard box" (metaphor). Zero rent, zero property taxes, zero hydro, zero telephone, zero for internet. I live on less than 1% of my yearly income. I live within $15,000.00 so I invest the other 99% or $1,485,000.00 (minus taxes) buying up the world's wealth every year.
I started as a 60%er the moment I got my FIRST job at 14 years old. I was down to a 1%er in 10 years. Thank "God:dog" because I was in a truck accident when I was 24 years old that left me paralyzed from the chest down(a quadriplegic).
If I want something, I buy it, the problem is I want very little. When you change the way you think and use money, your priorities in life change as well.

Letter of Intent
2009 Valley Lions Project
I have been thinking about this for awhile and I am finally going to do something about it. There is a “shipping container” (I think) for sale at Eisner’s Sale on April 25, 2009. I intend to buy it for the project explained below.
