Bless our billionaires — the wealth they create makes us ALL richer

Truer words have never been written.

The problem with leftist/Socialist beliefs is that they think the economy is a "zero-sum" game. In other words, of someone has a lot, someone else must therefore have less. Nothing can be further from the truth. In fact, when a Bill Gates or a Steven Jobs or an Elon Musk succeeded in making our lives better and more productive, they created a lot of wealth and millionaires along the way. Socialism does the opposite. It makes everyone poorer except for the elite running the nation.

Socialists are the dumbest and most dishonest people on the planet.

Bless our billionaires — the wealth they create makes us ALL richer

People criticize capitalism.

As a recent Axios-Generation poll found, “College students prefer socialism to capitalism.”

Why?

Because they believe absurd myths: Like the claim that the Soviet Union “wasn’t real socialism.”

Socialism guru Noam Chomsky tells students that.

He says the Soviet Union “was about as remote from socialism as you could imagine.”

Give me a break.

The Soviets made private business illegal.

If that’s not socialism, I’m not sure what is.

“Socialism means abolishing private property and . . . replacing it with some form of collective ownership,” explains economist Ben Powell.

“The Soviet Union had an abundance of that.”

Socialism always fails.

Look at Venezuela, the richest country in Latin America about 40 years ago.

Now people there face food shortages, poverty, misery and election outcomes the regime ignores.

But Al Jazeera claims Venezuela’s failure has “little to do with socialism, and a lot to do with poor governance . . . economic policies have failed to adjust to reality.”

“That’s the nature of socialism!” exclaims Powell.

“Economic policies fail to adjust to reality.”

“Economic reality evolves every day. Millions of decentralized entrepreneurs and consumers make fine-tuning adjustments.”

Political leaders can’t keep up with that.

Still, pundits and politicians tell people, socialism does work — in Scandinavia.

Jim Cramer of “Mad Money” calls Norway “as socialist as they come!”

This too is nonsense.

“Sweden isn’t socialist,” says Powell.

“Volvo is a private company. Restaurants, hotels, they’re privately owned.”

Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all free-market economies.

Denmark’s former prime minister was so annoyed with economically ignorant Americans like Bernie Sanders calling Scandinavia “socialist,” he came to America to tell Harvard students that his country “is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”


What a crock of bullshit, could have been written, and probably was, at Maralago

So I guess the top 1% owning close thirty percent of all wealth, the top 10%, 67%, and top 50%, nearly 98% of the wealth is makes “is all richer,”

Government is lying to you. US planes are falling out of the sky, trains are coming off the tracks, bridges and roads are crumbling. Our entire economy has been hollowed out.

Every industry is laying off. Capital is moving to China.
Loony and unhinged. :palm:
 
Nunya, but I sold the company for enough to retire at 56.

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich advocates the opposite: “Let’s abolish billionaires,” he says.

He misses the most important fact about capitalism: It’s voluntary.

“I’m not giving Jeff Bezos any money unless he’s selling me something that I value more than that money,” says Mitchell.\

It’s why under capitalism, the poor and middle class get richer, too.

“The economic pie grows,” says Mitchell.

“We are much richer than our grandparents.”

When the media say the “middle class is in decline,” they’re technically right — but they don’t understand why it’s shrinking.

“It’s shrinking because more and more people are moving into upper income quintiles,” says Mitchell.

“The rich get richer in a capitalist society. But guess what? The rest of us get richer as well.”
historically capitalism has raised most ships.

but with excessive mergers and acquistions and monopolies as we have now, all the alleged benefit of free trade are lost.

without trust busting and populism, capitalism becomes a death march, and deranged cultic billionaires seize control and kill people.
 
I believe he was nothing more than a garbage truck driver. After all, he bloviates garbage all the time on this forum. ;)
Hey! I have 2 friends that made careers and lives and families out of doing that, wtf?!
Good dudes. Don't denigrate that job with Crepitus, it's above him.
It's honest work, and there's nothing wrong with that.
