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:

Ask them, "When it comes to class warfare, which side represents your interests, capitalists or workers?"

I fail to see how taxing the rich to death will make my life any better.

The goose that laid the golden egg. But in this case, a conservative produced the golden egg.

This DUmmie....................is really DUmb. :stoner:

Lets see, Union (American) demands that widget maker is paid $40.00 Hr. This causes said widget to be far more expensive that a non Union/overseas made widget. Sales plumet.

The "evil" corporation needs to stay in business.........what to do?    :???:

Libs don't have even a rudimentary understanding of a marketplace. Let alone a free marketplace.

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.

Zalatix seems to be trying to make a move lately for top DUmmie socio-economic strategerist.  Its ravings are about at the liberal arts college first-semester-sophomore level, for a school where Econ 101 is a junior-level course.

The z-bird has been posting some pretty moronic shit, I must say.

Capitalists. I have mutual funds. The better those capitalists do (i.e. make profits) the better I do. Bet a lot of you DUmmies are the same way through your retirement plans. Try to think things through for once.

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.

BREATHING escapes the apprehension of liberals in general, and DUmmies in particular.

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.

I love it when they think they've come up with something clever. They always fall flat on their faces.

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.
Sun Szu said to know your enemy, DU makes war with cartoons. They aren't even useful idiots. If ever progressive commies gain power, DUers and other disability fraudsters will disappear in the first wave of their own purge.

Socialist and communist dictatorships have no room for leeches on the govt dole.
