If It's So Easy to Run a Business on Leftist Principles, Why Don't Leftists Do It?
by Seton Motley | breitbart.com
Our nation is saddled with a tiny cadre of Leftists - who unfortunately hold many key positions both inside and outside of government. These Leftists assert with great - though completely unfounded - authority that they know best how private businesses should do their thing.
Leftists think they know exactly how every little facet of the giant, endlessly faceted private economy works, which is remarkable, considering their enormous disdain for it.
President Barack Obama in his first autobiography described his few scant months spent doing actual (private sector) work thus:
Like (I was) a spy behind enemy lines....
And famously, recently uttered the unbelievable:
If youve got a business - you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen.

I should add that I don’t consider conservative business policies to include ruthless bleeding of every dime from people. Reading my comments might lead to that misinterpretation. The ruthless conservative practices I refer to are better described as rigid, overwhelmingly one-sided practices. Such practices favor the liberal company from every angle leaving no room for even respect for the customer. This use of the term conservative is not the same as the definition of conservative political principles. Conservative political principles respect the customer, are honest, and appreciate that successful customers are the best customers. Liberals somehow believe that reducing the discretionary income of customers will not harm the ability of their liberal company to sell products or services to those customers. Liberal companies engage in practices and beliefs that are to their own detriment.
Because investors may get a tad angry when they learn management is not maximizing shareholder value, but is focusing on maximum “social justice.” And the best way to achieve that is to put a filthy dirty polluting plant smack dab in the middle of Bel Air, Atherton, or the Hamptons,

Ask Ben and Jerry how they survive without making an evil profit

1. Suppliers need to get paid.
2. Taxes need to get paid.
3. Profits dont happen by thinking happy thoughts and giving away product.
4 You realize that all of your liberal friends make shotty employees, expect to get paid as much as you for doing less work, and want full benefits even though they work part-time.
5. Basically they know that their business philosophy is pure bull*hit and it is just easier to snip at those that do it right.
“They do! Theyre called Google, Progressive Insurance, et al (Apple, MS?)”
Those guys make their money the “old fashioned” way just like any real business.
They are just flaming leftists with the profits.
Scroll to Post #39.
You’re right... but who knows what backroom deals have gone on? It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Google has clear sailing through IRS as well as Progressive Insurance.
This dates me a bit, but do you remember Janet Reno and the Justice Department suing the bejesus out of MS (I think it was) for some specious reason that was obviously politically motivated. At the time, the prevailing sentiment it was done to take the heat off Slick’s BJs....
Because businesses can't print money?
Sure.
$27 per hour min. wage.
3 months paid vacation each yr.
Insurance coverage for any and all partners.
Job security (union style).
And the company pays 90% tax rate.
It could work.
because that would require rational thought, ingenuity, and productive effort. How many libtards have all those? not many.
Of course Ben & Jerry’s has a vote of all employees on all business decisions and equally shares all their profit with the janitor getting the same share and same salary as the CEO and the owner. What, they don’t do that. The devil you say . . .
Bump - guy knows his liberals...
Excellent!...........
