He often states that the rich are necessary because they lead our economy and that their money helps them to do so.

He is basically saying that while some families are struggling to have at least one meal a day, the rich just save/blow money on useless things. He quotes on pg. 20 that “The poor cannot be expected to save, because they need every dollar for basic needs such as food and shelter.

Of course, not every Costco shopper is an entrepreneur, but this customer base has remained the focus of the Costco marketing effort. Even the Costco members’ magazine includes many articles offering small business advice. 2) Deliver bigger value, not just lower prices: Costco doesn’t just offer low prices, it offers exceptional bargains on elegant, sophisticated products that people really want to buy.

Judging people without knowing them will lead us to make false assumptions, which is a dehumanizing act. They can be positive or negative, misleading in both cases. Although stereotypes facilitate us in responding quickly to situations by enhancing our understanding, they are nevertheless grounded in false assumptions and distorted information, influenced by prejudices, and disregard individual differences. Advocates of stereotyping argue that prior stereotypical knowledge aids them in understanding and interacting effectively, boosting their confidence level. For them, having a general idea is better than having no idea at all.

The dream can be defined in many ways, depending on who you speak to. We all come from immigrants who left their homes, families, and cultural
has raised many concerns over what our immigration policy should be. While the pro-immigrant supporters say “immigrants do jobs natives won’t do” is overly stated, it is true that there are fewer Americans who work in the same field as low-skilled immigrants such as in agriculture. As a consequence to this fact, most Americans benefit from immigration because it reduces the wages of some low-earning American workers who compete with immigrants for jobs. This is not a problem because U.S. labor markets are flexible to absorb immigrants without depressing low-skilled Americans’ earnings. One reason for this is that employers are able to adapt their production methods to the available work force, which goes well with their ability to adapt to changes in immigration policy.
