BILLIONAIRE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Can you imagine how hard it must be to have a billion dollars? Being a Billionaire?
For the moment and to truly understand this program, dismiss the notion that you could hire a trusted-someone or team of someones to worry over what needs to be worried about with that sort of wealth. That in mind, the multiple burdens of having a billion or more dollars are hard to imagine for a poor person; Hard enough even for the vast majority shy of poor while an immeasurable distance from rich. You know, the sort who still rush to the lotto line for frozen hell’s chance at a few million, prior to shopping for food with a fist full of coupons in one hand grasping the weekly flyer of specials in the other. But be sure that the burdens of wealth exist. Perhaps they are in number and scope in measure to the rest of us, only very different and in proportion to unimaginable numbers marking their worth.
Naturally, these uncommon problems might linger in longing and fantasy for common folk. However, is it fair to venture a guess from the pauper class considering the depth and seriousness of the matter?
Due to the gravity of the matter at hand, it is important to put aside resentment, anger or envy that one may naturally feel. Now, consider another aspect that may edge you towards understanding the hardships of wealth needed to accept a program which requires elastic thinking from the start. When people are harmed as victims, they may suffer trauma which may be life long. But did you know that a perpetrator may also be traumatized by the commission of a crime or act of aggression? Among these conundrums that may burden a Billionaire may be a childhood of poverty, forced to make choices for change so to never live poor again; Or domestic abuse; Or untreated illness be it medical or mental. How can we judge if we do not know those early hardships?
Similarly, prejudice may spring from the thought that money dispels all of life’s woes and wounds. They have it all so are not worthy of concern.
These examples are only cited in the hope that we don’t lose kindness and compassion for anyone, even the vastly wealthy. So, we ought to be willing and able to ease that burden. That is the nature and purpose of this proposed assistance program. In short, we must put aside enmity to be within the spirit of helping the rich.
Let’s further recognize that Billionaires have only done precisely what our economic system, capitalism, demands they do, be profitable. Therefore, we may further conclude that they have been extraordinarily dedicated to the only economic system we have in place; In fact, the only system that has been speak-able for many years. (Note: the S-word which is about as close as one could get in polite, secretive conversation.) For politicians in particular, the S-word is dangerous. After many years, one may claim progress in that it is now acceptable to speak of sneaky proposals with the cover of euphemistic language. (The C-word remains lethal; considering how many alone have fallen victim in conflicts related to the C-word?)
Neither should we pass judgement with the faulty notion that all of life’s problems are solved with endless sum of money. I am, conservatively, asked for donation at least two to what seems to be 2000 times a day. (It has been some time since I posted but I now get email from Daily Kos pleading for cash that may even anoint me heroic since I would be solving vast troubles. Thanks for making my point) I could, without a fortunate factor or two, be counted among those who are dwellers atop but four-wheels. All solutions and all problems in life do not vanish with tiny sums or vast amounts of cash. (Kindly refer to my post dated 11-16-15 entitled “From Nobody to Everybody). As stated, I am asked endlessly for money when I am a nobody with no funds I can possibly offer. What must it be like if you were a somebody with money? Allow me to cite one last important, and brilliant insight, in my opinion, made by Mr. Snowden recently when asked his opinion on our current White house occupant. Snowden says “he seems to be a man who has never known a love he did not have to pay for”. I expect, in his status as a perfect, well everything, he always got a receipt.
So now onto the program and how we may help.
This writer begins by asking what a lowly Billionaire might need or want? They are a minority after all. What is it they love? What do they hate? When one has succeeded in making more money than could be spent in many many lifetimes, what do they wish to be their legacy? What might make them happy that they cannot buy or have yet to accomplish?
This brings us to the key question (or troubling choice) of what one might do with some of that money, And thus, the main objective here in.
Going beyond good intentions and worthy causes that should be inherent in your proposal, is a hope that we can alleviate guilt that might exist with having so great a share of what nearly all of the rest of the world is wanting. In turn, it may raise the self-worth of Billionaires. Billionaires are people too and the ledger of the next life may be the ultimate equalizer; the preachy-ist point this program wishes to put forth. One premise of this program is that all wealth or goodness is not measured in possessions; Neither in numbers on paper or held in bank accounts, known or undisclosed. Ask yourself how many meals a single person can eat in one day? You cannot, after all, hire a person to eat for you. Or work out at the gym for you in the case you do eat meals based upon your bank statement rather than your belly. Perhaps we must ask our brilliant genius in chief if money, indeed, buys love?
Your contribution then, is to request contribution for what likely is a pittance. What do you propose? In a short letter state the need, the intent along with an estimate of the monies you request.
Kindly allow me to offer an example. Let’s say you have a program that is designed to help people eat healthier and thus improve their overall well-being. Let’s further say it is comprehensive and has potential to serve people of many ages. Whom, after all, cannot eat healthier and even lose weight? Especially, in our nation of poorly fed, overweight, badly nourished hungry citizens with kids who are now being diagnosed with diseases once associated with many years of eating badly. When one is resource impoverished, knows little to nothing on website creation and suffers from isolation through no fault of their own, it is a good example. You might call yourself the food shrink for reasons quickly understood after reading “The Refrigerator Test” which is available upon request at an email such as foodshrink@myfoodrules.org. It explains the program and helps to determine if it might help you. You may attempt a website with a title like myfoodrules.org. Let’s further assert that you know the program to be different than the zillion available options and this one is extremely promising.
So give it some thought. Remember, Billionaires do not equate with greed. Some may even find entertainment in reviewing ideas pitched to them that they can easily support. It could be fun when you know your holdings can obtain almost laughable, lavish lifestyles that most cannot even dream of…After all, even as a Billionaire you cannot (yet) pay someone when you are called to the next incarnation...
Finally, offered here is one link to see who has what to make your pitch possible to those at the very very slim, skinny top. It is a link this writer has no connection to nor has been able to offer contribution.
Now as you have read but before you concluded this is entirely laughable, know the world currently has 2210 Billionaires, 585 of them in the good ole’ capitalistic USA. As for Millionaires, 42.2,17.3 in the USA. And counting…...and counting……….and

FULL DISCLOSURE:
The proposer of this proffer is a nobody, possessing, unfortunately, no connection or affiliation with anyone of any means, in the millions not to mention the “B-word”. The only “aire” that might be claimed could be one of fantasy, hilarity, desperation, by mostly compassion. This Billionaire Assistance Program is set forth with true integrity and genuine hope that, maybe, just maybe, it can gain attention enough to generate something of value. There can be no doubt, among any intelligent, sentient beings, that goodness is damn sure needed in our world… in at least a billion ways.
