    they create jobs because demand necessitates it in order to capitalize upon that demand.

    This is business 101. Maybe you should learn how capitalism works before coming back.

    I would, but it's not even a valid question. Weren't you one of the idiots screaming about how ~1/2 of Americans (thereby including those you're now pretending to care about) don't pay federal taxes (and therefore don't pay for Pel Grants and other aid acquired via FAFSA and the federal government)?

    Interesting to see you now arguing in favour of that progressive taxation.

    Thats funny, I AM CAPITALISM. I borrowed against my house, built a 2500 sq footer worth over a mil, & we hired alot of people, because we had the capital to do it.
    Now we are getting set to build a four unit apt building and a 2000 sq ft house, and we will be hiring unemployed people.

    see answer above.

    You getting alzheimers, no worry, obamacare will help you.eal
    You neednt accuse me of pretending to care for the poor, I work with them every day. And I dont mean just giving money, I mean going into a shit stinky guys apt and holding him, taking turns with my buddy, cuz he shaking so bad he's about to create an earthquake, and wants nothing more than a drink. Sometimes we get vomitted on. Sometimes we have to fend off a punch or two. Sometimes they even sue us.

    so again you dodged the question.


    If you want to go toe to toe, at least know what I said and didnt say.

    Are you making these jobs because you have money and want to pass it out? If so, you'd just give it away on the street corner. The motivation is profit (surplus value or capital).

    No, it's not. Ask the courts. That's why one doesn't have a right to benefits and congress can deny anyone or everyone SS benefits at any time. For all the rhetoric and 'insurance' sales pitch, they went out of their way to make sure that, legally, it was no such thing. This because of past rulings such as that on the RRA.

    Quote where I stated as much. I think people are entitled to every last cent they earn, but I also understand as a country we all need to chip in a bit for certain things. Stop misquoting me, Mr. Manson!

    I know. You're avoiding the wealth stealing effects of SS and that it's not supposed to be a tax, it's supposed to be a contribution.

    apparently you cant read.
    Foundations are created by rich people, so yea, they make profits and give some to charity

    Your last statement is so profusely stupid, if I even tried to answere it, I would get quarantined for possibility of being infected with idiotism

    Try responding to what I actually post.
    Replying to your own comments doesnt win you any debates.

    You know, some people can multi task. It is possible that investments can be into companies that are meeting increasing demands, computers, and create something that doesnt exist, and create the market and demand. Thats what INVENTIONS are all about.

    Now, really try hard to respond to what I or FJ are posting, and not just some sarcastic sly remark cuz you got nothing, zero, zilch, nada.

    Hard working people, mostly. How come you don't ask me where taxes DON'T come from? Illegals, welfare recipients, people who are unemployed forever - in other words, mostly Dem supporters who vote Dem to continue the free ride.

    So taxes should be voluntary?
    No, IF you REALLY read my posts you would know that I support an equal tax to all taxpayers. It can't be voluntary or we would never see another cent from the few Dems who do pay taxes.
