Ever see a laborer purchase the machinery for a factory?
You live in a total dream. Under capitalism the very rich eat the bodies of those who do the work. New markets are very like new houses for burglars. Burglars and other scoundrels control capitalist government to destroy the freedom of those who do the work and of those whose countries they are invading, obviously.
It's not my impression that all democrats are quite that bad - lots and lots of them seem to want education because it makes them fuller human beings, which is the point. If some of the Republicans who post on here shared that aim, it doesn't seem to have worked for them. Pity!
I was talking about slavery per se, not wage slavery. I don't take your point, I'm afraid. Under capitalism it is necessary to give the mugs a limited education as well as training the crooks, and a lot of decent people seize the chance for real education.
There aren't any socialist countries, as you know. Where they existed your armies went in and murdered vast numbers. Union-busting is one of the very many means that stops the workers from producing things themselves, but where they can face working with this shitty system they manage quite often. It hardly seems worth pretending the capitalist system is not mortally sick, however.
Don't be daft - your chums steal all his money, as you know.

Non sequitur... Doesn't follow from the conversation being had...
Wanting an education because it makes them fuller human beings is nothing you can relate to political party. Certainly liberals and conservatives are more attracted to certain fields. Wanting a fuller life and to be financially successful are not mutually exclusive. Having financial security allows one to travel, attend symphonies and operas, contribute to charities and political campaigns---things that contribute to a fuller life.
Whose armies murdered vast numbers in socialist China, Cuba, North Korea, the former Soviet Union? More were murdered by their own leaders than "your" armies.
Again, why don't those workers quit those jobs and join together to produce something useful they don't have to give to their evil bosses? That is exactly what my yard guy has done. He came here from Mexico, worked for landscapers to learn the business, and then started his own business and hires other immigrants to work for him. He now has over 100 customers. Of course, he is probably evil and pays himself more than he pays his workers. He also buys and maintains all his equipment, does all the payroll and taxes, recruits customers, collects the money.

Your claims make no sense, as you know.

Open your eyes sometime. It happens all the time. Whole industries have been created right in the broad light of day.
Capitalists create the machinery. Capitalists install the machinery.
Workers working for a capitalist doesn't change anything.
No, they steal wealth. That's what makes them thieves.
Do you work for free? How do you feed and house yourself? How do you pay for the computer and network you are using? Do you expect companies to give away their products?

Governments don't produce anything. Communist nations do have the government owning all the factories, but they know nothing about how to run them or about the market they sell to.
Capitalism created civilization. It has lasted for thousands of years, long before McCarthy and his paranoid views.

If a factory owner doesn't pay his workers, he won't HAVE any workers! You're deluded.
He doesn't understand that when hiring for a position, experience trumps his silly little paper,
unless some stupid idiot with a paper who knows nothing about the position he/she's hiring for
is doing the hiring. Just had a conversation with the nurse at the Dr, office today, she agrees.

He also doesn't understand plus hours.... ‘(Teachers can also earn more additional‘ education (those are the “lane” increases). Some districts* move teachers into a higher pay column when they earn a certain number of credit hours of professional development or continuing ed. Bachelor‘s plus

They sure do, dumbfuck. But they sure as shit don’t call the degree a bachelors “plus”. It’s still just a bachelors degree, pal. The bullshit about “plus” is just that. Bullshit.
My kid’s “plus” is called a Masters degree. You never managed that one?

Your child's degree included ' plus until they earned the Master's degree....You lose....*‘It's a bachelor's plus....Period
Sure as shit not, dumbfuck. Just like anybody else, they only had a bachelors until they earned a new degree. Nothing “plus” about it. Pure horseshit.
You’re a retired teacher? Pretty fucking lazy that you would get all those “pluses” and never obtain the next degree.

We don't agree here, though I follow the argument. In my experience people who care about money do things with it merely to show off - as I say, my experience has made me cynical.
