The most basic problem with corporations. Explain it this way to your neighbor.

Corporations see customers and workers as two distinctly separate concepts. To them, one is not the same as the other.

Corporations see profits as their life blood and workers (as in, paying them wages) as overhead, a drag on their profits. Corporations want to totally eliminate the latter while maximizing the former.

However, Corporations DO realize that the two are one and the same. They simply disregard that fact for as long as they can. They will simply discard the millions of people who cannot afford their products and concentrate on those who remain that can afford them - case in point: developing markets overseas and moving sales forces overseas while Americans languish in unemployment. America is a dying market because of their desire to cull workers and cut wage costs, so they are moving onto other nations.

Now ask your neighbor, are they a worker or a CEO? Where do they think they stand?

Corporations are out to make money? Is this breaking news or something?  :mental:

Corporations provide tax revenue.
Corporations provide new and useful products (unless the get loans from the DOE).
Corporations provide a higher standard of living for all.

Neither.  I represent my own best interests.  And class warfare is for losers who are foolish enough to believe they don't hold the keys to their own destiny.

Yeah, try your stupid little questions with me.  I'll stomp you into the ground.

From what I remember, Henry Ford paid his employees a higher wage than other concerns were paying because he wanted his worker to be able to afford his cars.

He did, but he also employed people to dig through the workers' homes and private lives to make sure they were living up to his persona and professional standards.  If you didn't, you didn't get that $5 a day.  If a modern company did what Henry Ford did, the DUmmies would be pawning their TVs and DVD collections to buy torches and pitchforks.

If DUmmies actually had any inkling of the true nature of their enemies: they would be dangerous.

But DUmmies choose to live in a fantasy world. They will forever be a laughing stock, ineffective and impotent.
