The Most Important Statistic

We know that when employment is up, crime rates go down...

So then why would anyone want to keep anyone from working?

What this says to me is:

"When people have better lives, we ALL have a better life!"

You must remember that we don't have to like each other to respect each other as a person and respect a person's space.  You don't have to like your employees if they get the job done well.  You don't have to like your neighbor and still want your neighbor to well.

If we thought of each other in the same way we think of home values then we could all be living in better neighborhoods.  Most of us don't really know all of our neighbors, but we want then to take care of their house because if they don't, it adversely affects all of the houses nearby.  So, we want people to do well, whether we know or not, whether we like them or not, whether we want to live next to them or not, but because we all (most of us, anyway) want the same thing, to be able to have a comfortable life made from our own choices.
