...and get some skills to compete in the world. Freedom means also free to endure hardship. Do not confuse freedom with material wealth. Also, when did it become the job of the government to "run" the economy and "create" jobs????? wtf??? when the hell did that happen??? That is a serious shift of power to wealthy corrupt ugly individuals....on both sides. Pull the power away from the federal government and all of the big bad corporations will have no way of buying influence....there will be none to buy. And all of the corporations making "too much" money will be put in their place by old fashioned efficient competition. When the decisions of (government)people I will never meet(thousands of miles away) affect my life more than my own decisions, then the whole American experiment of freedom has gone very very wrong. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of highly overpaid bureaucrats in their cushy no-competition government jobs not actually producing anything of worth for the world are sucking the productivity out of the USA. That is a lot of smart people providing little or no worthwhile goods or services to the world......and we all pay their paychecks......and pensions....and fantastic benefits....and all those government holidays....and so on and so forth. Its no longer the United States of America, but rather The Bankrupt Global Federal Empire of America.:2thumbsup: Home of the brave.....ha...home of the government dependent babies....well, the government spent all the money many times over....good luck.....I hope you have some skills...there are a lot of people around the world willing to work a lot harder for a lot less....:daisy:good luck with that......when the shit really starts to hit the fan, you will miss the freedom more than your plasma TV or stupid fucking camera toaster weed wacker phone.....and the only organization with enough power to take your freedom is the most massive government in the history of governments....enjoy the show, smoke your weed(unless the government finds you with it)
If a company is making "too much money"....and this also applies to Wall St. firms, etc., then someone needs to come along and compete. They copy what the first company is doing, and they offer the good or service at a lower price, since if there was too much profit being made there is room to reduce the price. Dude A makes 1,000,000 per year, dude B comes along and is willing to do the same thing for 500,000, so dude B offers the same or better product and over time pulls away half of dude A's customers and after a while dude A only earns 500,000 as well. It is the same concept with cheap labor. Hombre A in Mexico will do the same job as a factory worker in the USA who patiently waits around for his government created job and thinks that since he was born in the USA he has some god given right to some mythical cozy "middle class" lifestyle that was invented by some marketing firm circa 1948. the jig is up The USA will be(and is being) beaten at its own game unless people lose the government worship. Watch every political speech and look at the zombies in the crowd with their spooky smiles and manufactured laughs. Their mesmerized stares pointed at the person who is promising to give them all sorts of material wealth with a stroke of their pen and a a mountain of worthless speechifying. Those are the stares of the kool-aid drinkers! Sometimes I can't blame them though. They are up against a massive marketing and branding juggernaut that is the US government....with its red white and blue indoctrination and big purty buildings with monuments all over the place like we are living in North Korea. ....juche power! Power to the worker! <<sarcasm The government doesn't have the right nor the ability to "run" an economy. The amount of power necessary to influence something as massive and complex as the US economy is staggering, yet that is what is happening, and look at the results. Just a note about Wall Street. Every jackass gave their piles of their money to these people over the last 15-20 years without doing a tit-hair;s worth of research. Everybody just played their little E-trade video games and became "investors' all of the sudden. Also, the government stepped in and tried to engineer more of their "Leave it to Beaver" world by giving incentives for folks to contribute to their 401ks making the ponzi system even larger.....all that money had to go somewhere. How many people actually read a prospectus....I am thinking about a bakers dozen. Don't blame Wall Street for Main Street's ignorance and kool aid drinking.
Isn't it kind of more than corporations stealing the wealth? That kind of seems like a Bill O'Reilly view point, except he'd call them crackheads, and dirty gay hippies. The banks are illegally print money, and driving down the economy, and buying out the governmental process. Kind of a big deal, but I guess if all of us magically could pull a corporation out of our asses and compete then our democratic process and economic future wouldn't be at risk.
