    Good Capitalists achieve gains from efficiency; they don't whine about a Minimum wage.

    good capitalists must keep all costs as low as possible any way possible just to survive against competitors who are doing the same thing 1+1=2.

    Who taught you the cretinous term libcommie? It demonstrates on understanding of economics. Then again, free market economics- given its based on complete guff- is reliant on such attitudes...

    Capital has to seek gains from efficiency, not cheap labor, in the First World.

    The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

    for 3rd time: why so afraid to give us best example of market failure?
    What do you learn from your fear? In court you would be held in contempt for not answering the question. Do you know why?

    can the liberal imagine 2 companies, one that cares about its customers and workers and a competitor who does not. Which would prevail and which would be driven into bankruptcy under capitalism?? See how easy that was?

    Fail.
    Providing the best jobs and products is inherently beneficial for the community just as it is hopefully beneficial for the individual.

    People doing so are to be celebrated.

    Wealth inequality is good.

    The most financially equal society on earth is Venezuela.
    Trust me, you don't want this.

    Wealth inequality grows as total wealth grows.
    If everyone gets richer, the gap between rich and poor grows.
    It is a standard distribution curve.
    [​IMG]

    The higher the average wealth, the higher the lowest and highest wealth.
    But also the greater the gap between them.


    The less wealth, the less income inequality.
    Hence Venezuela, where every one is equally poor, is the most equal society on earth.

    The pursuance of income equality is immoral.
    Nihilism.

    Or look at China! Imagine the pure liberal ignorance of impeding, taxing, vilifying, and regulating the billionaires who are leading 100's of millions out of extreme poverty. Yet this is what liberals do!

    A capitalist caring for his customers and workers does that only for himself. He would not do that if he had no advantage. In fact, the capitalist tries to minimize this. He does everything only for his profit.

    I wonder why you don't understand that. If you're a business man, you would exactly behave as i have mentioned. Do you think that I reject capitalism, because you try to attach a social component to it?

    I don't ****ing care if he does it for God, his cat or just for a laugh.
    If he does it, many people benefit.

    What moral intention you attribute to his socially beneficial actions is up to you.
    I suggest to you that if his intention is self advancement, then this is an intention that is morally good.

    Beneficial to society as a whole.

    You are way off the mark to attribute immorality to socially beneficial behaviours.
    A nihilist.

    Capitalism has a natural rate of market failure, in any given market; the market for Labor is merely one example.

    Can the liberal imagine 2 owners, one that cared for his workers and customers for himself and one that really cared about his workers and customers. which would be driven into bankruptcy? Imagine 2 wives, one whose husband loved her for his own benefit and another whose husband really loved her. Which marriage would be most successful? See how simple that was?

    if so then workers and customers would go elsewhere. Capitalism teaches love. The more you show the more you succeed

    a businessman must first love his customers and study forever to find out exactly what their needs are and what they want to buy. It is naturally selfless as real love always is. Do you understand?

    Yes, because it depends on his profits. But he must not love customers and workers. Not really. It is enough to understand them. If he loves them, he will probably work for their advantage and against himself.

    I want people providing good jobs and good products for the community to profit from this endeavour.
    I want them to be rewarded and encouraged to do more.
    And to set the role model to others that providing good jobs and good products to the community will provide you with social privileges in return.
    Wealth in recognition of your efforts.

    A knighthood. A big house and a big car.
    Let everyone see that this is a socially beneficial thing to do and of great value to the community.

    It's like saying if you love your spouse or kids too much you will spoil them. If you intelligently love people you do it in their best interests as well as your own. Now do you understand the essential nature of Republican capitalism and why it succeeds so wildly and why libsocialism so wildly kills people ?
