SAY, someone should explain ‘value creation’ and ‘value capture’.
Expalin how 271 congress crimnials are millionaires and how many of them became millionaires while in service, or lack of..... I say they need to be on par with the military salary of 22,000 a year and VA medical plans. Can anyone of us out here vote ourselves a raise at any given time? We need a correction!
Exactly - what we have right now is a perverted form of “capitalism”. I would venture to say that this is really nothing new - that’s why antitrust laws were instituted decades ago. An interesting read is what Richard Branson encountered when he started Virgin Airlines - dirty tricks and sabotage from the competition.
Big corps, big lobbyists and big government - wow, what a surprise. The problem is it keeps innovation and progress out of the marketplace.
This global warming/climate change BS has nothing to do with climate change and is aimed at creating global socialism.
#3 the average income in poor African countries has fallen by 1/4. Hmmmmm....Zimbabwe, “New” South Africa, Rwanda, I can’t THINK of any reason why this is happening. Oh yes, it’s because Bill Gates is STEALING their minerals!
I agree and if they want cuts how about all those former so called govt. servants who are/or who become multi millionaires (trading from their govt. positions) like clinton who made millions after leaving office donate their federal pensions back to the government, after all they want to take Social Security away from those they deem wealthy who paid into it and redistribute it and up their taxes and we know what the democrats call wealthy.
All part of the New World Order plan, our politicians make unfair trade agreements where the other countries can tax our products but we can’t tax theirs while making rules/regulations/taxes so bad companies want to leave and flood the country with illegal aliens. Next regulate the food/small farms. The middle class threat gets destroyed and it’s so much easier for them to bring about a global government.
I wonder if the unfair free trade globalist’s among us will one day regret the loss of our country for a few pieces of gold.
The Liberal Free Trade Globalists probably will never admit their system is a statist failure until they are hung from the gallows for treason. People who think it is good to ship American wealth to COMMUNIST China aren’t exactly the smartest or the most reasonable.
Too much today we find the corporations too mingled to the government...most of the multi-national corporations are just statist Globalists anyway....and cannot tell the difference between a multinational corp or a government.
I posted something from this website and caught hell over it.
Very interesing. Thanks for posting.
Since there was MONEY:
"Money has no morals, Capital has no conscience"
Crony capitalism has been going on for longer tha “the last couple years”.
When I was young the saying was I’d rather be dead then Red, people didn’t like the Commies and knew better then to trust them. Those multi-nationals would sell their own mother for a buck!
There is one fundamental problem with this analysis that I see — which causes much of the rest of the writer’s case to fall into question. If the “Elite” have only the desire to get richer still, and yet they are destroying the “Middle Class” in order to accomplish that — to whom will they sell their products and services and thereby become richer?
One fundamental flaw in the analysis of those who believe in the Conspiracy theory that the “Rich” are out to become richer at all costs and to make the Middle Class poor simply don’t understand market economics. A thriving Middle Class Makes the Rich RICHER. To destroy the Middle Class is to destroy their most productive workers, AND to destroy their most loyal customers and consumers. And when they rich destroy their workers and customers — they DON’T stay “rich” indefinitely. Sorry — it doesn’t work like that, except in the minds of those who don’t understand Free Markets and Capitalism.
a rate that used to be highly illegal
The rate I pay on my Visa card is 0.0%, because I pay it off every month.
This is called "living within your means", and it is a great way to go. Even better is the "living below your means", which I have practiced all my adult life.
All you have to do is recognize what you can afford and what you can not. Don't be afraid to say "I can't afford that."
I should add that, while I DO believe there is a movement to bring about control of the United States and all nations of the world under a global system, and I believe it certainly does involve economic manipulation, I don’t believe the motive is primarily that of profit. Sure, SOME of the “Rich” will get richer. George Soros has surely racked up, hasn’t he? But others have lost FORTUNES.
The motivation in this movement is primarily power and CONTROL. That SOME will profit is of secondary concern. Sure, let some get rich. Let others go bust. Who cares, as long as the “new order” is established and the “elite” call the shots? The Money will naturally flow in the right directions once the lines of POWER are properly put in place.
The super-rich will not be spared from a Cloward-Piven economic collapse and/or social upheaval. Their opulant residences will be the first pillaged by the raging hordes of Obamulan Hope-n-Changers, and their “worker bee” security detail will not risk their own lives to save it.
True and good advice.
Owing anything at all to these “bankers” puts one into debt slavery for nearly eternity... death by several hundred little cuts ... of interest.
Because in the 1980’s Democrats reinstated Usury that’s why.
Yes !!!
Take Obama's "rich" standard ~ no way in the world a guy making $200,000 per year is "rich" ~ most of his income will be spent doing two things ~ paying his bills and paying his taxes. Very little will be left to invest.
When Obama was making less than that he probably thought "rich" started at $10 million. He knew that $50,000 a year isn't all that different than $200,000 a year when you factor in job related costs and taxes. There is an incredible difference between $50 K and $10 million though!
The only reason Obama's dropped the standard is to eliminate competitors just behind him economically.
“Liberal” and “wealthy elite” are two different things.
Pretending they are the same is dishonest and confusing.
