Regardless of the cause, the effect has been to eliminate demand and labor from the economy.

And what has happened to the economy?

you cant just “dismiss” the cause.

the market has to be allowed to work. in this case it isnt, as dictator wannabes have blown its brains out

What has been the effect of eliminating labor and demand, @thinkingman?

youre asking me what effect the government has had on an economy that they have forcibly shut down?

people out of work and high unemployment

@wiley8425

Nah. I don’t think Corporations should be taxed. (Except when they’re reporting ridiculous profits, like the BILLIONS of dollars Amazon rakes in monthly,

And that there is the problem again. Shouldn’t be taxed unless we think you make to much.

[JayJay]

No…I’m asking you what has been the effect of plummeting demand and labor from the economy? It does not matter whether the government caused it, or if some other thing had happened to cause it…what happened is the same.

In a nutshell…what has happened is demand for goods and services has plummeted, and labor has been removed from the economic engine.

Amazing how all those “unskilled” people became “essential” practically overnight, isn’t it?

Remember that next time you hear and actor/actress getting millions to shoot a movie for a few months. Or the next athlete that is complainging because he isn’t getting his 100 million sallary.

Take Twenty Hannity Dollars out of petty cash…

[wiley8425]

That’s precisely what we were doing in 1950. Never should have changed course, imo.

@NJBob

because the employer pays so little

You keep saying this.

They get paid what they EARN. If they get little, it’s because they’re not worth more pay.

@NJBob

Are you happy with subsidizing big corporations?

As long as you stick with this, I’m going to consider your grasp of the concept to be ignorant.

[wiley8425]

Those were chief complaints of mine long before any of this COVID stuff and an apples to oranges comparison to boot, but whatever I guess.

Taxed only if someone thought you were making too much in the 1950’s? Really?

[wiley8425]

Try reading back in the thread. It was already discussed ad nauseum.

[Guvnah]

@wiley8425

Well actually I believe profit sharing should be mandated for every company,

Everything you post would take a communistic and tyrannical government to implement.

I consider your ideas absolutely idiotic. And even dangerous.

[Guvnah]

@wiley8425

Not sure how that was your takeaway when I specifically said PROFITS, not CEO pay.

A company’s profits are not the CEO’‘s money. They’re the stockholders’ money.

Again, your arguments are absurd and rooted in ignorance of what’s involved.

[Guvnah]

@thinkingman

who is saying that?

Wiley is. Libs are.

[Guvnah]

@wiley8425

If a company is literally making BILLIONS of dollars based off their labor

Labor is only one component that generates profits.

[Snow96]

@wiley8425

Try reading back in the thread. It was already discussed ad nauseum.

I’m saying, where there corporations in the 1950’s that were not taxed?

[Guvnah]

@JayJay

No…I’m asking you what has been the effect of plummeting demand and labor from the economy?

The economy didn’t create the current condition.

The government artificially shut down the economy.

Your argument is founded on error.

@NJBob

But I stand by my position that unions, despite their faults, are a good thing.

They can be both…just like the potential business that you’d be working for. The question is…who is in charge and what are their motivations? A great businessman does not need a union…nor do his/her employees? When there is a longterm vision of greatness, the shortrun, the day to day operations are more functioningly symbiotic for all.

What makes a great businessman great? Their ability to make a profit?

A businessman isn’t there to take care of their employees.

As for “who is in charge”, union leadership is elected.
