Corporations horde wealth and line their pockets, I sleep.
Unions use their power to keep American employed with well paying jobs? REAL SHIT
Corporations line pockets of those who invest also, which is many people. They innovate and create progress. Without them people would be stuck in Amish paradise.
Western workers don't appreciate the hirachy of a company's interests. They are there to help it grow and expand even if it means making their positions redundant. Instead they hold a company hostage and put on a scene. No wonder all the work goes overseas and to the migrants.

if we automated all of the tasks that could be automated we'd have over 50% of the country on welfare and no jobs for them to get. it would be a communist utopia.
why right wingers dont realize that capitalist progress leads to massive unemployment and then socialism has always confused me. the snake eats itself.
Social safety nets are killing motivation. There are hoards of unproductive bums to take advantage of such gesture. Originally they were designed for those who really needed them to catch them if they fall, now we have people swinging on them.
Capitalism dictates there is no free lunch, you must contribute. Communism/socialism says there is a buffet forever but eventually the food runs out because people forget what you put in you get out.
