I doubt it.

Quote:Whereas, it is impossible not to work! Without rich people willing to invest everything for a dream, which includes loving and helping others to succeed, there ain't no jobs! Why would they ever invest without a return?"If we don't let them rape and pillage we wont have any of their precious, precious moniez!!! Double plus ungood!"
Quote:Money works harder and employs far more people then the fuckin' govermament!OFC it does, "Money" is for profit and requires labor to produce it. Even the most exotic financial instrument has a tenous but often lethal connection to that reality. When the asset the bet is made on becomes toxic - the bet becomes worthless. Unfortunately, lobbyists have engineered it so that the profits from those bets are privatized even though we socialize the losses.
Quote:When I developed real estate I didn't imagine how many people I was feeding, putting shoes on there children's feet, paying college tuitions, until I met them and they told me!More fairy tales, and awfully damned cheeky. Trying to defend extortion by reference to a job you totally had in real estate?
Quote:What? Is there a trickle up theory?Yeah, it's called labor and productivity. Unlike trickle down bullshit it actually works. It's what the trickle down acolytes exploit to make their products, and to sell their products, and to create the funds they then suck up as corporate handouts. I feel like it shouldn't be a controversial opinion to suggest that the working masses and the country as a whole not get fucked by corporate overlords or the rich engaging in next level welfare queenism.
-and yet here we are.
I'd figure you'd be onboard..we're basically discussing moneychangers are we not? The world could use a few more flipped tables. But if that just doesn't tickle your indignation bone..its fucking unamerican and anti-capitalist. Capital and markets do not move freely when we allow a tiny fraction of individuals to extort the entire system, and the government is certainly not by the people, of the people, or even -for- the people when it sides with those interests over the interests of it's citizens. Im not interested in pinko shit -or- a corrupt oligarchy.
So tell me again why these hookers need to be given more money and concessions to incentivize them..whilst giving money or concessions to the working poor only makes them lazy?
