Kill the Rich, Distribute to everyone

The day is October 20th, XXXX. Today is National Distribute day. They day where everyone gains money & order is balanced once again.

I take pride in this day, who wouldn't if you're the median of the 3rd order.

As a child, holding my mother's hand as I walked across the street, I always winced at the sight of seeing another human slumped against a wall, wearing tattered rags & unfit clothing. My heart would always squeeze itself and I would have to look away.

Then you have the college students or anyone really stuck doing the jobs such as fast food or clothing stores where they have to scramble and live pay check to pay check, come face to face with greedy people who kept them under the glass ceiling from progressing.

The middle class was problematic to the point it got divided into more subsections. The lower middle class, the ones who are between poverty & barely making a living, the middle middle class, those who were living fine, not too great but not too bad. Lastly was the upper middle class, not rich but can afford most things desired. That fact that most people live in this class and it must be halved into sections make it all so confusing and difficult. What's worse is that people were falling out of middle class and into poverty.

Finally there were the rich, people who would walk on the clouds away from the mess.

That was until the 3rd order came, the ones that denied the rich while embracing at everyone else. They set this senile world straight.

They first marched and fairly won control in the world's government. It took a while of course, slowly moving everything into position over some years but gaining traction and soaring when the time came. They also didn't accept a cult following of any kind & sent any who tried to therapy.

Then they set they're eyes on the rich, the problem. They showed the nonbelievers, deniers & the refusers wrong; how they, the upper class, was the problem and ruined everything for everyone. After all, they have most of the money, free to spend it however they like, have complexes and so much more that ruins others lives.

Once everyone was convinced, they asked what is to be done. They captured all the rich and proposed and idea that would equalize all.

"Kill the richest person at the end of five years & distribute the money to everyone else."

At first, people shifted in their seats uncomfortably. They couldn't believe the concept even though there's the "Eat the rich" or
"Steal from the rich, give to the poor" saying.

In response, it was called absurd, unnecessary, brutal, horrific or attempted to compromising. They refused of course. I, being youth but understood the meaning yet also saw the benefits, was on board.

The 3rd order explained to both sides that they already have the rich under control where they could monitor and reprimand the rich however they don't want to take their freedom. The rich people can do whatever they like, spending their money away and such.

The person that will be executed would have their money distributed to the masses. It would fund any charities, environmental problems, disease research, therapy/rehabilitation, those in poverty, education, and more issues needing to be dealt with.

Besides..... as long as the person isn't the richest; they have absolutely nothing to worry about.

All the rich would have to do is make sure they distribute and use their wealth for good or supporting others. They only have to worry about the responsibility they had in their hands.
Not us, the people with money significantly less than them.

Some people didn't cave in, so there was a demonstration. That year, XXXX, on this very day, they executed the richest man.

People were horrified, I did flinch when seeing it for the first time. However they took the money he had and distributed it as they promised. Everything immediately got better.

Businesses and education were funded. They made people more aware of issues, manipulation and abuse. People were put on an fair level with the best gear, programs, equipment and teachers got the money they deserved.

Therapy became more accessible and people mentally got better. Better rehabilitation and acceptance towards each other resulted in a safer place. Food finally was affordable, heathy or unhealthy; mix that with education and heath rates improved significantly.

Environmental groups were able to save habitats & endangered animals. The Earth became a whole lot greener. The next Distribution day was around the corner, what did people say?

They wanted more.

The 3rd Order are truly noble.

Everything keeps getting better and better.  The world thrives now. All because we kill the rich, & distribute to everyone else. I am proud of be a 3rd Order cadet.
