"every dollar business made came at the expense of the poor...."

This one is actually true. It seems to me that we (as pro-market force) have to admit this right in their (the anti-market forces') faces - market economy is unfair to prols, however, it is the best deal prols (including myself) can ever get.

And about JFK, as far as I understand he was the first class hawk and he was deeply pro-market person.

"...at the expense of the poor." This is SOP for the DFL in Minnesota and especially on the Iron Range.

Bullsh-t. Businesses (most of which, in this country, are mom and pop operations) provide jobs so that we can afford consumer goods, a roof over our head, etc. BTW: I deal with small business owners everyday of my life and am sickend by how arrogant leftist assholes whine about how "the private sector screws the poor."

Do Ford, GM and DaimlerChrysler sell cars to the worlds poor? It is rich people that purchase their products.

It is governments that keep people poor by not allowing them manufacture their own wealth.

Wrong. The economy is not a zero-sum game. If I trade a dollar for a quart of milk, neither I nor the storeowner are being exploited. I would rather have the milk than the dollar, and he would rather have the dollar than the milk.

Jobs are no different. I trade my time and labor to my employer because I would rather have the money, and he would rather have the labor.

Yep. If business is allowed to keep this up the ranks of the poor will only continue to be decimated by the scourges of jobs and prosperity. Sometime this century, under present trends, the entire world will be as rich as America was in 1960.

Get with it, liberals! Time to change those bumper stickers from "Save the Whales" to "Save the Poor". The little black and brown peoples of Africa and Asia must be protected from the evils of souless consumerism (and full bellies, comfortable homes, education for their children...) before it's too late!!
