RedLandFish is back. Poor people are a bunch of slackers. They dont want to work.

I never said that. I said socialism is the ideal way for people to not work and get money. Poor people are certainly not slackers; there are many reasons why people can be poor: not enough jobs, lack of skills, low wage jobs, etc.

Poor people who work hard all their lives, have ideas, etc. etc. and never get anywhere don't exist.

The poor who have ideas that never get anywhere are those whose ideas were not worth anything in the first place, or who did not work hard to get it to work. If you have an idea, any idea, that is commercially viable, you can get it to work if you commit to it.

There will be people who work hard their entire lives and still be poor, but that is what happens if you don't have any skills or ideas that work. It's tough, but this is why you are encouraged to get an education.

Capitalism is preditory by nature. The big dogs eat the smaller dogs. How many doing well small buisnesses are put under and 'doing good' people made into poor folks by capitalistic large corporations?

Those companies who do not adapt to increasing competition will inevitably fail. If a large corporation is doing what your company does for less profit, it is time to think about other business ideas, or expanding your business so it has a unique sales point.

Capitalism is about widening the divide between the rich and the poor. The courts, lobbyists, paid for legislation are the weapons of the big dogs and money is the ammo.

On the contrary, the divide between the rich and the poor is practically non-existent. You can attend free events in every city where wealthy businessmen go to talk about entrepreneurship and encourage ideas. I've been to a lot of them, met loads of millionaires, and I'm a student with a 30k debt.

As I've said before, I'm against protection of big business as much as the socialists are. The only difference is that the socialists want big business gone, whilst I'm fine with it being there as long as it can support itself.

To be a struggling buisnessman you have access to the same weapons, but have no ammo. The rich want to keep the divide wide because it's easier to pick off the small ones pulling ahead before they get too close.

There are ways of preventing takeovers, and if a businessman was competent he'd know that. You can easily prevent being picked off and still remain a success.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Reaganomics at it's best.

The rich get richer, the rich create more jobs, the poor get the jobs, the poor become the rich.

Circle of economics my friend, and completely accurate.
